Oh the weather outside WAS frightful...

...but the mini-sessions were still delightful! With the poor weather on Saturday, I was amazed that ANYONE was able to make it their scheduled mini-sessions. There were a few brave souls that ventured out into the snow, and here's a little preview:

Complete Package

I am so excited to introduce baby Lilyana. Born January 29, 2009 to one of my very best friends, Kristine (and her husband Luiz). It goes without saying that she is one of the most beautiful little girls I have seen, however, she is also one of the calmest/content babies I have ever worked with. I have a feeling that she can sense the love surrounding her, helping to put her at ease. The love that this family has for their new bundle of joy (and for one another) is awe inspiring. Just to hear Mom and Dad talk about how blessed they are and how 'complete' the family is could bring a tear to your eye.

I am so happy to be a part of this little one's life, and I cannot wait to watch her grow and change. Congratulations Kris and Luiz, she is an angel.

New Location...New Promotion

I hope that everyone has survived the Holidays! Things are finally beginning to settle down for most of us (I think). As some of you may know my home studio has moved to West Bend, WI. Because it may take some time for the official studio to be completed, please pardon our dust for the time being :)

As a 'Welcome to '09' celebration I wanted to offer all my current clients, and any new clients, an opportunity for a FREE mini-session, and FREE 8x10. These sessions will last approximately 20 minutes and will result in 10 images. All sessions will be done on a timeless white (high-key) background at my home studio. Images will be posted online for clients to view and order.

Mini-sessions will be held Saturday and Sunday, February 21st and 22nd. If you are interested in reserving a session please call or email me. Slots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.

Oh how they change...

One of the most incredible aspects of my job is being able to document the changes in children as they grow up. It is amazing to see how different they are, even from month to month. I was honored to photograph Miss Jordan again for her first birthday. I first meet Jordan last year when she was only a few weeks old...now that is a CHANGE :) She has really grown into a beautiful little girl. It was a pleasure to work with Jordan and her family again this year.

Little Digger

Meet Bryson. You may have recognized him from his last session earlier this year. What a cutie! Now 2 1/2, Bryson was much more interested in digging rather than having pictures done. But seriously, who can blame him, it was a gorgeous Oct afternoon!! I had a wonderful time running around with this little sweetheart.

Playing Catch-Up

Just a few images I wanted to share from the past month...

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

A little rain never hurt anyone, right? It sure did not stop Miss Grace and Princess Isabella from looking CUTE as ever. We were able to complete the majority of our session before the brief downpour last Saturday morning. Both Grace and Bella were a joy to work with, as usual. It has been wonderful to see how they have grown and changed this year.
