2011-08-01T21:19:00.000-07:00

It was such a joy to photograph precious Molly. She is such a beautiful baby especially with all that hair. Molly slept pretty much throughout the session which gave me lots of opportunities to capture some great images. I love the shots of Molly in the basket...so precious! Congrats once again Matt & Cassie...I look forward to watching your baby girl grow!

Cole & Lydia - Childrens Session

2011-08-01T20:15:00.000-07:00

Cole & Lydia came into the studio showing off their Wisconsin pride along with thier smiles. These two were so easy to photograph that I forgot that I was actually working! Cole definitely loves his little sister...and was a big help in making Lydia smile. I could not help myself in getting Lydia into one of my tutus...she was such a doll...I just love the shots of her in the tutu..so precious. Here is a sneak peek of a few images from Cole & Lydia's session.

Pingels - Children's Session

2011-08-01T19:44:00.000-07:00

I was so blessed to have so many of my clients take advantage of my " All Dressed Up" Promotion that I ran for charity. The Pingels were just one of the many children sessions that I photographed. I had so much fun photographing these 3, lots of giggles and smiles! Here is several images from their session.

Hayley & Isabelle - Children's Session

2011-07-31T21:23:00.001-07:00

These kids were a treat to photograph...such cuties and what fun summer outfits! This was a session set up with the grandparents in mind and I believe the end result was a wonderful portrait for grandpa and grandma. Here a sneak peek at several images of the session...enjoy!

Mark & Heather - Wedding Photography

2011-07-07T22:07:00.000-07:00

Despite a rainy and cold day in May, Mark and Heather's wedding day was absolutely beautiful! I have been patiently awaiting Mark and Heather's wedding day since I photographed their engagement session last fall. Mark and Heather are a photographer's dream couple...gorgeous, very photogenic, and up for anything! I enjoyed capturing all the moments of their special day. Even though it did rain we had a blast traveling to various spots and taking full advantage of the indoor scenery. Here is a look into Mark and Heather's amazing wedding day...ENJOY!

Congrats Mark and Heather...wishing you both lots of love and happines as husband and wife!

Te'Lesha - 2012 Senior

2011-06-28T14:15:00.000-07:00

Meet Te'Lesha she is 2012 high school senior from Little Wolf High School and my little sister. Yes, little sister...I have been photographing this girl since she was born. So you can imagine photographing her senior session was bittersweet for me. With spring and summer filled with lots of rain, we had to post-pone her outdoor part of her session, but we got some great shots in the studio. Once again, Te'Lesha put up with me and all my crazy ideas...such a great sis, huh?! Hopefully she had as much fun as I did...love ya little sister and best wishes on your senior year!!

I was able to sneak outdoors and grab some shots of Te'Lesha and her prom dress on the day of her prom...such a pretty girl and can she rock an orange prom dress or what?!

Sheena - 2012 Senior

2011-06-28T13:50:00.000-07:00

So I kicked off my 2012 high school senior season back in March...yes I know you are wondering why it has taken me so long to post...it been a little busy, well...crazy busy!! But I am not complaining, its just unfortunate that my blog took the back burner for the last couple of months.
So here I am, catching up. Meet Sheena, she is a senior rep from Hortonville High School. As I said before she came into the studio for her session in March, notice the snow in some of the shots (don't miss that stuff). She really was such a good sport in that she allowed to photograph her for not only one session but two! We had lots of fun not only in the studio but out on location aws well. I really had a great time working with Sheena and got some awesome shots. Here is a little more than a sneak peek from her sessions.

Jackson - Child Session

2011-06-28T13:28:00.000-07:00

What a treat it was to see Jackson as it has been several months since I last photographed this cutie! Jackson came in for his 1 Year session. Much like his 3 month session, my camera and I just ate him right up. He has amazing blues eyes and sweet smile, I could have photographed him all day!

He is a sneak peek of several images from his session...ENJOY!

Carson & Callie - Childrens Session

2011-06-28T13:19:00.000-07:00

Carson and Callie came into the studio during my "All Dressed Up" childrens special. These two are so darn sweet and such cuties. With two toddlers you can imagine that the studio was busy with dad, mom and me running around. I often tell my parents of toddlers to wear their running shoes for the session, they suddenly realize that I am not joking! But in all fun, photographing children is a delight to me and I always look forward to my "little play dates"
Here is a sneak peek from the twins' session...enjoy!

Oliver - Childrens Session

2011-06-28T13:08:00.000-07:00

Hard to believe that this little cutie is already 2! I have been so blessed to photograph Oliver since his birth and to watch him grow. Oliver is much like my little guy, busy....and all boy!! He kept mom, dad and me running throughout the session. I love photographing toddlers, I always get a good workout!

Mom was a little nervous that Oliver didn't sit long enough for a shot...but as you can tell with the images below...I got plenty!! Happy Birthday Oliver!!

This shot is a request from mom...I just love trhe idea, not to mention how much Oliver has changed in a year!

Callen - Childrens Session

2011-06-28T12:56:00.000-07:00

Callen is my adorable little nephew, who is such a charmer. He actually practices his smiles before he comes in to see me, but to be honest, I really don't think he needs to. With those big brown eyes and all those cute little expressions, I think it comes naturally! Here is a sneak peek at several of his images from his 3 Year Old session...ENJOY!

Olivia - Child Session

2011-04-13T10:41:00.000-07:00

Little Miss Olivia came to my studio celebrating her big 3 year old birthday. Now I have to admit Olivia has been coming into my studio since she was 1 so she is quite the "pro" when it come to getting her photos taken. She is such a cutie and my camera "eats" her up every time she comes into the studio. Mom took advanatge of the "All Dressed Up" portrait event and added a few extra outfits. Typically a 3 year old doesn't handle too many clothing changes, but Olivia definitely loved getting all dressed up. I had so much fun with this session. Miss Olivia even enjoyed hanging out in one of my tutus...which she modeled oh so well!!

Thanks again Olivia, I loved our play date...Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!

Rosetti Family - Newborn Family Session

2011-04-13T08:52:00.000-07:00

What a great way to celebrate your 1 year wedding anniversary then with a newborn session of your new baby girl! Thats exactly what Tony and Shawna did. I was so blessed to not only photograph their wedding day but also to capture their precious baby girl Addyson. Addyson joins her big sister Aleah, who is such a cutie...I just love the images of the two girls together! Addyson was a perfect, sleepy newborn and allowed me to do pretty much whatever I wanted. I was thrilled to use my new newborn butterfly wings and headband...so, so cute!!
Here is a look into some of the images from the session. Congrats once again Tony and Shawna, Addyson is a perfect little addtion to your beautiful family!

Mariah - 2011 Senior Session

2011-04-13T08:21:00.000-07:00

Meet Mariah...she is a 2011 high school senior from Wrightstown. I really enjoy high school senior photography, its almost like a mini modeling session for seniors. Lots of clothes, fun poses, funky backgrounds, music and laughs. Mariah was a stunning model for her session and made my job very easy. I was thrilled to showcase some of my new backgrounds in Mariah's session; here is a sneak peek at several images from Mariah's session.

Best wishes Mariah and thanks for allowing me to capture this awesome milestone in your life!

Burt Family - Newborn Family Session

2011-04-09T14:37:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the Burt family. Craig and Sarah welcomed their second child, precious Hailey. Hailey joins the family with her adorable big sister Kaitlyn, who I have to mention is a very proud big sister. I was able to capture some beautiful images of the family, especially of the two girls.

Meet Garrett, isn't he a cutie?!? Garrett and his mom braved the last snowstorn we had and came to visit me at the studio for his 1 Year photos. Garrett is a little guy full of many expressions, which I totally adore when it comes to photgraphing children.

Ella - 3 month Child's Session

2011-04-09T12:06:00.000-07:00

This is was my 2nd session with Ella, as I photographed her newborn session 3 months ago. As a mother and photographer I am constantly reminded how quickly little ones grow and change...its so bittersweet. Ella has changed so much in a short time, she has learned how to hold her head up and show off that cute smile. I think she will definitely have her daddy wrapped around her tiny finger at a young age with that smile and those beautiful eyes! Mom brought in some adorable outifts and Ella was a good sport at modeling them off. Here is a sneak peek at some of Ella's images from her 3 month session...ENJOY!!

Gwendolyn&Giselle - 1 Year Child's Session

2011-04-09T11:55:00.000-07:00

Fellow blog followers may recognize these two adorable little girls as they have appeared on my blog a few times. I have had the pleasure to capture both Gwendolyn and Giselle since they were newborns, actually before they were born! It has been a joy to watch these two little girls grow and to capture all their milestones along the way. This session I am partically fond of...cute dresses, tutus and yummy cup- cakes...what more could a photographer ask for!! Here is a sneak peek of some of the images from the session.

2011-04-09T11:42:00.000-07:00

So I as began looking through my blog image folder I suddenly realized that I never blogged the Kinate family. So here they are, a little late but finally on the blog. The session was a birthday gift for mom-grandma, so sweet! I truly enjoyed meeting and laughing with the Kinates...such a great family! Here are a few images from the session...ENJOY!

Mengert Family Session

2011-03-22T19:15:00.000-07:00

It was a joy to photograph the Mengert family as they welcomed their newest addition to the family...little Brooklyn. I have had the honor of photographing the Mengerts for the last 3 years. You may recognize big brother Bryce, as I just recently blogged his 3 year old session. Bryce is definitely taking on the big brother role quite well. Some of my favorite images from the session are of Bryce and Brooklyn. This is a special time for the family and I look very forward to creating more memories of them and of course now little Brookyln. She is quite precious indeed...I can't wait to watch her grow and capture every milestone along the way.

Here is a sneak peek at several of the images from the session. I also included the announcement I created for the family.

The hospital and staff hold a very special place in my heart and I would love nothing more than to give back so that others may feel the love and care of this hospital.

2011-03-02T19:40:00.000-08:00

Every time I get the opportuunity to photograph Bryce I literally jump at the thought of having this little guy in my studio! I have been so honored to be photographing Bryce since he was born and have captured some awesome memories along the way. He is a photographer's dream child when it comes to having his photos taken!

Andy - 6 Month Child's Session

2011-03-02T12:31:00.000-08:00

I have been looking forward to photographing Andy's 6 month session since photographing his newborn session back in Agust 2010. It still amazes me as not only as a photographer but as a mother, how much babies grow and change in a short 6 months! Andy was full of smiles for the entire session and I think he has already learned how to get a ladies' attention...big smiles and those beautiful eyes! He was such a sport with all the outfit changes and I couldn't resist his adorable winter cap (so cute). Here is a look into several images from Andy's session...Enjoy!

Elna - 6 Month Baby Session

2011-02-15T20:17:00.000-08:00

I was so excited to see little Miss Elna and see how much she grew and changed. I have been lucky to be photographing Elna since long before she was born. Hard to believe that she is already 6 months old! What a precious and beautiful little girl. I am totally in love with her big brown eyes and her adorable smile. She was quite the trooper with all her outfit changes. Mom and dad were great in helping with the session, I even caught a shot of the three of them...well mom and dad's feet anyway!

Here is a sneak peek of some of the images from Elna's session. I have to say, both Elna and I are ready for spring...bring on the Brewers and the flowers!!!

2011-02-08T11:45:00.000-08:00

The last time I photographed the Brendemihls it was for the newborn session of Brayden and now here I am blogging his 1 year session. I may sound like a broken record, but boy does time fly! It was so great to catch up with the family and of course to take some new family photos. We also included Brayden's 1 year session, cake and all! Brayden was all smiles for the camera...such a cutie with those big brown eyes. Here is a sneak peek at several of the images from the session, ENJOY!!

Lucy & Stella - Children's Session

2011-02-08T11:17:00.000-08:00

I had some much fun photographing these two adorable little girls! The session was mostly to celebrate Stella's 6 month milestone but mom wanted a few shots of the girls in their Christmas dresses. Are they not beautiful..the girls and the dresses?!? The session was like a little play-date...lots of giggles, smiles and fun all around. Stella was so darling in all her dresses, quite the little poser indeed!

Here is a look into the session...there were so many cute ones that I had a rough time narrowing them down for the blog...hope you enjoy!!

Adesso - Children's Session

2011-02-03T11:44:00.000-08:00

The Adessos found me through a holiday show I did back in December. Anna was expecting at the time so when she phoned me to set up an appointment I was thrilled to hear about the newest addition to the family. Meet Nica and Soleil...what beautiful names and little girls. Both of them so precious and adorable, that photographing them was hardly work at all! Nica loves being a big sister and was so excited to have her picture taken with her baby sister. The images of the two of them are just a few of my favorites from the session. Here is a look at some of the images from their session.

2010 Wrap Up

2011-02-02T20:03:00.000-08:00

Here I am already in the 2nd month of 2011 and I am just wrapping up 2010. I guess you could say that I just loved 2010 and wanted to linger in the moments that made it so great! In saying good bye to 2010 I wanted to just say a huge, heart-felt THANK YOU to all my wonderful clients. Without them, me or my business would have not been the same. I have said it before, I feel truly blessed and honored to have captured so many beautiful memories this past year.
In appreciation, I am wrapping up 2010 with just a little keepsake collage of my clients. When making this I realized that some of my clients were repeat clients and came to see me for a number of sessions this year, which is so awesome!

What a great way to look back at 2010...

In closing I wanted to share a few images of my family. Believe it or not, I do try and get out from behind the camera! On a serious note though, I am so very blessed to have an amazing family. I have a wonderful husband and little boy, who are my favorite fans! To them a very special thank you...for allowing me to live my dream, enjoy my passion of photography and to put up with me when I only have a few hours of sleep!

2011-01-28T12:32:00.000-08:00

In wrapping my blog posts for 2010 I wanted to end with a few images from Tom & Stacie's New Years wedding. Even though it was a rainy day outdoors Tom & Stacie's wedding was absolutely beautiful! They had a romantic evening wedding with warm candle light, which was so breath-taking. I loved Stacie's vintage 50's feel of her veil and the fun feathers that she included with her bouquet.

Here is a sneak peek at only a few images from the wedding...there will be plenty more to share so stay tuned.

Jepson - Winter Outdoor Photography Session

2011-01-24T19:43:00.000-08:00

Despite freezing cold temps and a nasty wind chill...I suited up and headed outdoors on-location for Courtney's session. Courtney really wanted some wintery-snow images for her holiday card and with unpredictable Wisconsin weather we ended photographing her session right before the holidays. I have to be honest...I do really love photographing out in the snow...winter backgrounds can be so beautiful. Both Courtney and I braved the snow and cold temps, however her dogs were not as thrilled and were pretty much ready to head back to the car within 10 minutes of shooting. Unfortunatly we ended up cutting the session short but got some cute images anyway! Here are a few images from the session along with Courtney's adorable New Years card.

Amara - Newborn Photography Session

2011-01-20T19:00:00.000-08:00

I had the joy and absolute pleasure of photographing sweet Amara. Amara and her parents traveled from Wyoming to Wisconsin for the holidays and planned a day to make a short visit to see me, well me, my husband and son. We have been awaiting this bundle of joy and could not be happier for Jon and Kandi. Thank you both for taking some time to visit and even more to allow me to capture your beautiful little girl...she makes a very special addition to your already wonderful family.

Zuberbier Family

2011-01-19T13:45:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of photographing the Zuberbier family right right before the holidays. Abby is my cousin and I love when I get the opportunity to photograph family...they are always up for my ideas.This was my second time photographing little Ethan, I photographed his newborn session back in August. Wow, has he grown and changed...still the same adorable, cute little boy though! A special thanks to my mom for assisting during the session, she kept all of us laughing and entertained.

Jennifer and Braeden came into the studio right before the holidays for a mother-son session. Jennifer and Braeden were so great to work with and made my job so very easy. They were both up for anything and had no problem smiling for my camera. Some of my favorite images from the session are of the two of them just interacting, those images are so priceless. Here is a look into their session, I also included the cute holiday card they ordered.

Block Family

2011-01-17T21:47:00.000-08:00

Its hard for me to believe that I use babysit for the Blocks when I was in high school and now here I am photographing them and their grown children. It seems the older I get the more I realize just how time truely flies.

Its always fun for me when families bring in their pets. In my eyes, pets are just another member of the family. The Block session was full of smiles, laughs and great images...here are a several from the session. I also included the holiday card the family sent out.

Giefer Family

2011-01-17T21:30:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the Giefer family. The Giefer family was a photographer's dream family....so happy and so photogenic. I have to admit I had so much fun photographing the family and little Aidan that I forgot that it was work. By the way, little Aidan is quite the "ham" for the camera! The expressions collage that I have included in this post shows exactly what I mean.

Here is a look into some of the images from the family's session...I also included the holiday card the family sent....ENJOY!!!

Mitch, Jennifer & Family

2011-01-17T21:13:00.000-08:00

What a joy it was to photograph Mitch, Jennifer and their two beautiful little girls. I was so excited to see Jennifer and her family as it has been forever since I have seen her. Jennifer and I went to grade school so you can imagine how awesome it was to catch up and to photograph the family.

Here is a sneak peek at some of the images from the session...I also included their adorable holiday card that they ordered.

Jaeger Family

2011-01-17T20:59:00.000-08:00

I have known the Jaeger family for quite some time. Actually Dawn is my hairstylist so I was thrilled to be able to return all the many favors she has done for me over the years. What a great session and family!! Steve (dad) had all of us laughing and kept the session quite entertaining..there was never a dull moment!

Here is a sneak peek at several of the images from the family's session. I also included the holiday card the family sent out..ENJOY!!

Chris & Kari - Engagement Session

2011-01-13T19:37:00.000-08:00

I have known Chris and Kari for many years, as the three of us grew up in the same small town. It was so great to see Chris and Kari and to take a couple hours to catch up and of course take their engagement photos. Chris and Kari have a farm in Algoma so I knew that I wanted to incorporate that element into their session. We started with a few shots in the studio and then headed out on-location. I have to say the on-location images are some of my favorites from the session. I love the look of the rustic-country scenery and the soft warm light. Thanks Chris and Kari for allowing me to capture some great images of the two of you...I look forward to your wedding in September 2011!!

Casey & Ashley - 2010 Wedding

2011-01-12T12:05:00.000-08:00

So I have been having a blast creating a coffee table album for Casey and Ashley and I just had to share some of the pages. Coffee table albums are just one of the many ways brides and grooms can showcase their wedding day images. When I create an album for the couple it is unique to them, so they are receiving an album that is tailored made and not just a generic album.

Casey and Ashley were such an awesome couple to photograph and they had such a beautiful wedding day. One of the many things I love about photographing weddings is capturing all the details that go into the wedding day...from the dress to the wedding party. Casey and Ashley made no exception when it came to the details of their big day and I have some pretty amazing images to prove it! Thanks once again Casey and Ashely for entrusting me to capture all beautiful details and memories of your special day!

I know, I know...

2010-12-14T12:24:00.000-08:00

Okay fellow blog followers I know its been forever since I have last posted...PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! Its not that I haven't had things to post...that would be a total under statement, as I have been crazy busy. I sometimes find myself saying "busy, busy, busy", like the magician from Frosty the Snowman!
What a blessing it has been to photograph so many wonderful memories and to meet so many new people these past couple of months. I can't wait to share them with all of you. I am hoping to have new posts before the New Year, so come back and visit and please feel free to leave a comment.
Thanks once again for following along and for making my blog and passion of photography a success! Wishing you all a happy, safe and blessed holiday season!!

2010-11-17T21:04:00.000-08:00

Okay...I have to admit I have fallen off the blog wagon...its seems like forever since I have posted! So I have some catching up to do...

I have been long over due for posting Bryan and Krystal's images from their wedding.They are already enjoying their album with all of their images from their beautiful wedding day, so they have forgiven me a bit! With that being said, I wanted to post some those beautiful memories to share with you, my fellow blog followers. Bryan and Krystal, along with their family and friends were such a joy to work with. I will tell you this, Byran and Krystal sure know how to throw a party and have fun.... the dance floor was packed every song!

Thanks once again Bryan and Krystal for allowing me to be a part of your amazing day...I wish you all the love and joys that marriage brings!

Wallace - Trash the Dress Session

2010-11-03T21:11:00.000-07:00

Please, please forgive me as this blog entry is way over due. As promised here is the Trash the Dress session I photographed back at the end of September. Some of you are wondering what is a Trash the Dress session? I will put it this way...we really don't trash the dress, well at least not too bad. Trash the Dress sessions are a great way a bride can wear her dress again and do all the fun and funky poses she would not normally do on her wedding day.
Kristin knew she wanted to do this session long before her actual wedding day, so I knew just how excited she was when she showed up ready to photograph. Now let me tell you, this girl is up for anything and I mean anything, oh and she has a wonderful husband who was very willing to go along for the ride. With it being September is was a bit chilly on the day of the shoot, but not too cold to head into a city fountain or better yet, Lake Winnebago! Some of the lake images are among my favorites from the session, although I will have to admit I had a terrible time narrowing down images for this post. So here are some of my favorites from the session...ENJOY!

Tiffany Family - Fall Session

2010-10-27T22:15:00.000-07:00

What a pleasure it was to meet and photograph the Tiffany family. I was blessed again with a beautiful, warm fall day for family's session. Jerry and Katie have an adorable little guy named Will and I have to say my camera just ate him right up. Me being a pet lover, I was thrilled that Jerry and Katie wanted to include their puppy in some of the family shots. Here is a sneak peek at some of the family's images from the session...ENJOY!

Thanks Tiffany family for allowing me to capture some beautfiul fall memories of your family...I look forward to creating more!

I have been fortunate to be photographing these to two little guys since they were both born. The Bankes boys have a special place in my heart and in my photography world. Now, I do have to admit, its always an adventure to photograph these boys, they make me work! Although, sometimes I don't know who is having more fun me or them!
So after lots of laughs and a little sweat, here is a sneak peek at some the images from the session. ENJOY!

What a pleasure it was to meet and photograph the Lane Family. The Lanes are actually from my hometown which made it a little extra special as they traveled to Greenville for their family session. It was so enjoyable photographing the family, I have to admit I never stopped laughing the entire session. The family was up for anything...even stepping out into a farm field, which ended up being some of my favorite images from the session. Thanks Lane family for making your session so enjoyable and unforgettable.

Fellow blog followers may recognize adorable little Nate.I have been blessed to be capturing Nate and all his milestones since he was a newborn. Nate and my son Max are a month a part so I knew just what to be prepared for during the session. I have to admit, this little guy is just full of expressions and I love every one of them. With his new found walking skills he had mom, dad and me all busy. Thanks again Goodriches, for allowing me to photograph yet another precious memory in your lives!

The Hartfiels have been not only long-time clients of mine but friends as well. I look forward to every year when Mitch, Amanda, Hunter and Hayden come to visit and have their portraits taken. The boys just keep getting bigger and bigger and even more cutier with every year. I always have so much fun, I have to admit though, Hayden was a ball of energy and provided much of the entertainment. Here is a sneak peek at a few images from the fall family session.

It feels like only a short time ago I photographed Mark and Tara's wedding day, now here I am photographing their family. I seem to be asking myself more and more these days..."where does time go"? It was great to not only photograph the Krause family but to catch up as well. They are quite a busy family...what can you expect with three boys who love their sports..oh, four boys...sorry Mark!
