The {M} family
This was the second year I have gotten to photograph this amazing family. Their girls are all 3 years apart and I joked that it was like my family in 5 years (this was before they got their little boy). While scheduling their family pictures last year, something amazing happened; they got word of a little boy that was born that needed a home. They were able to foster him and then later adopt him. I love hearing about adoption stories! It was a blessing to see this family fall in love with that little boy last year, but hard at the same time as it wasn't a final placement yet. So this year was pure joy because I was photographing this little boy with his forever family! And you can see how much is big sisters adore him! They are having his adoption party next month and I love that some of these images will be used for it. Congratulations {M} family on your adoption and your beautiful family!
Newborn {C} - Sun Prairie, WI newborn photographer
How adorable is little {C}? He sure made me work though, hehe. Mom and Dad came in for a newborn mini. So, a 1, 1 1/2 hour shoot, right? Not quite :) Well after 2 hours and only get 1 shot, we decided to try again another day. Usually I just try to wrap babies and get some awake shots (and then they usually doze off while wrapped), but this little guy had other plans. He kicked out of every wrap I did (and I did some really tight!) and was just not happy :( He wanted to eat the whole time and maybe was just needing to cluster feed at that time. He also hated to have a wet diaper (or no diaper at all!). But once he came back just a week later, he was such a different baby. So much more content! He still didn't like his diaper off, and didn't like to be posed too much, but he was definitely a lot more calm. He got some good full feedings and was happy even when he was awake. I'm so glad we tried again!
spring mini's
I can't tell you how excited I am that it's the season of outdoor sessions! I love doing studio pictures, but when you are forced to for months on end because it's too cold to go outside, sometimes takes the fun out of it. Now I'll be able to use some creative juices and be inspired by the great outdoors! We kicked off this season with some Spring Mini's. Here's some of my favorites!
Newborn {E}
It is such a privilege when I get repeat clients. Not only have I been photographing Mr{E}'s big sis since she was born, but this family has referred so many of their friends and family. I'm so grateful. I don't do much marketing, so word of mouth goes a long way for me :) I also love when families come back to me so I can see their kids grow and meet new siblings! Little {E} was so adorable and did such a great job during his pictures. He even woke up at the end and gave some great eye contact. He was very wide-eyed when he was awake, but just as adorable!
And when big sis doesn't want to come and take pictures, but will if she can wear the goggles in the play bin, you let her wear goggles! Haha. I just LOVE this picture! We did talk her into taking some pictures without them too :)
Mr{J} Turns 1!
Mr.{J} came to see me a couple months ago (since I'm trying to blog some past sessions since I was not very good about blogging this year). He was so cute but not very into my camera. He gave me many looks like "What are you doing!?!" It's amazing how little 1-year-olds still seem, but really, they already have so much personality and KNOW what they want and like! I loved photographing this little dude's eyes though, whether he was smiling or not!
