Look Who Turned 9!

I can't believe my baby girl is 9 years old!  I have no idea where the last 9 years have gone!  I had the opportunity to shoot a few shots of her while doing the maternity shoot!  She looks so grown up, far older than 9!

The Bump!

I've been working on this maternity project for a few months now!  Momma is due in July, and we have been taking weekly pictures!  This weekend I wanted to take a few shots near a sign I see driving all the time!  There will be a full blown maternity shoot sometime in May, but this will hold us over for now :)

My Babies Easter Pictures

We of course had to take our very own pictures with those cute little duckies and chicks!!

Baby M is 6 Months Old!!!

During the Easter shoot, I also got to shoot Baby M's 6 month pictures!  She is too cute, and I LOVE taking her pictures!  I snapped some of her brother too, because who can resist him???  I love watching all these kids grow!  I hope Mom's and Dad's love their pictures so that I can continue to capture these moments for them! 

Baby M's shoot also involved some new pretty headbands!  Check them out at:

Happy Easter :)

Finally catching up on blogging again!  Spent the last week editing and ordering prints for our amazing Chick/Duck shoot!  I couldn't have been happier with this shoot!  I was a little nervous, having never shot with live animals and small children before!  But they turned out great, and were such a big hit with the kids!  Next year, I'm thinking bunnies and a lamb...

Here are some favorites from the day...

Time is going too fast...Sophie's 6 Month Shoot

Well, I've conquered my first indoor shoot using my new backdrops and backdrop stands!  It went pretty well!  I practiced a few times with the boys at home, but of course they are nothing like shooting a 6 month old baby!  Sophie is itty bitty, so her shoot was more like a newborn shoot with position, but with a lot more kicking and talking :)  As always, she was great for me!!

I of course couldn't just snap Sophie!  I had to take some of brother Tye too!!!  He's 4, and less than excited about pictures, so we got what we could out of him!  I especially love his GQ pose, which he did all on his own!!

Starting off the New Year...

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year!  I for one am excited about the new adventures of the New Year!  So far this year, I've booked my first wedding, which also is a destination wedding!  I couldn't be more excited!  I've also started selling gift certificates, so if anyone is interested, they are available in any dollar amount!  A GREAT baby shower gift!  This year I've also created a new postcard for advertising, they will be at the printer soon, and hopefully out in the public shortly after!  I'm really looking forward to what this year is going to bring!!! 

This weekend we will celebrate the first of many Birthday's!  Jackson (my baby boy) is turning 4!  He's a handful, and has more energy than I've ever seen.  He keeps me on my toes and I love everything about him!  The last few days here in Wisconsin have been beautiful, which I'm so thankful for because there is nothing I love more than shooting outside!  I took Jackson down to the boardwalk on the lake for his 4 year old pictures.  Even with the lake slightly covered with ice, I'm so very happy to have been able to to shoot these outside!
