Father's Day

I just want to wish all those wonderful Daddies out there a Happy Father's Day!
I hope you all enjoyed some special time with those important men in your life.

My wonderful husband (and a great daddy to our monkies!) took this shot of me with my Daddy today. Love you both!

Birthday Special

So, I have been MIA for a while. Sorry. Life gets crazy in spring around here.
My little dude just turned 3 Memorial Day weekend. And today my baby girl turned 7! I can't believe how fast these years are flying by.
To celebrate, I want to offer a birthday special. Book a session for this summer and get a free 8x10 frame from The Organic Bloom. Your choice in shape and color! (A $65 value!)
They are beautiful, hand crafted, custom made frames. Ask me more about them - they are a perfect complement to your beautiful photos!



Hurry, though! You must contact me to book the session before June 18th.

Happy Birthday to my babies!

Baby E Preview

I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy a few days ago. He is so tiny and sweet. Mommy and daddy just adore him - and honestly, I did too. Here is a sneak-peek of him.

My sister left me. Her husband is in the military and they are now stationed overseas, so she left me. I have a big problem with that for a lot of reasons. One of them being she is my hair stylist. She started cutting my hair when she was just 9 years old...and nobody else has cut my hair since. And nobody besides her has ever cut the hair of my children, either. But my sister won't be back for 3 years...and while *I* might be able to just grow my hair out, I don't think my little dude can do that for 3 years. So I had to have somebody else cut his hair. I found a cute litte 'old fashioned' barber shop in town, so I took B there. The owner was so sweet and did so well with him. I guess we will survive without my sister for a litte bit.

52.7, 52.8, 52.9, 52.10

I am really bad about updating my blog. I appologize for that.
So I guess I have missed the last 3 weeks, plus now this weeks post...that makes 4 weeks of my 52 project I need to update you on. Eeek!

52.7: My daughter at swim lessons. What is even better than her swimming so well is that I know her swim coach because I used to teach her when she was little!


52.8: Girl Scout cookie time! We spent a bunch of time sorting out those 137 boxes of cookies.


52.9: Snuggles with Daddy. These are some of my favorite memories.


52.10: Today was the last game of the season for my daughter's basketball team. She has improved SOOO much over the season, but had yet to make a basket. The ref was so sweet, and decided to help her out. She can now say she is the only one to make a slam dunk!


I promise to try to be better at posting. Hopefully as spring is approaching I will feel more motivated to share all the beautiful photos.

I realized I forgot to post a 52 week project last week, so I am posting a double picture this week.

Both of the kids in school. Little dude is in a mommy & me preschool class once a week. They were painting tire tracks with trucks, which he LOVED. We may need to try it at home, too!
I help in my princess's class every week, too. They were getting ready to practice their spelling words. She always seems so serious in class.

Week 4
She has been picking her own outfits from her closet. She must be ready for warmer weather, since she keeps picking summer dresses, but needs to wear long sleeves & pants since we do live in Wisconsin. I caught her spinning in circles around the kitchen, dancing. I love innocent moments like this.

52.3

I know this is not the most 'artistic' shot, but it makes my heart swell. I love knowing how much my babies love to be together. I tucked them into bed in their own beds and when I went to check on them before I went to sleep - they were snuggled together. This is a common occurance around here. But I know it won't last forever, so I wanted to capture the memory while I still can.

52 Project: Week 2

We were finally getting some snow this week. Ben's preschool class made some pinecone bird feeders to hang on the tree out front then got to play with shovels in the snow.
