Little Josie's 6 month photos!! She was such a ham during their Spring family session, she looked at me and smiled the entire time. I love seeing the Martinson family and so happy we were able to photograph their family session while the apple blossoms were still blooming. 

Want to see life with 5 children under 5 ? Look at the Hendricks family. Marni and Brian were one of my first clients 6 years ago for their maternity session with McKenna. In the last 6 years I've tried to plan a couples date night so we can go out for sushi and martini's but every time I try to plan something... Marni was pregnant..again! I've even suggested sneaking wine in the hospital after she delivered one of the babies, because I knew within 6 weeks she'd probably be pregnant again. 

On April 3rd Tyler, Stacey and Olivia welcomed sweet baby Grace to their family. Olivia was so excited to show me her new baby! Grace didn't want to sleep, she's very curious like her sister. I love this family and can't wait to watch these little girls grow. 

ALEX is TWO!!! I have photographed this little man since his newborn session. I have loved watching him grow over the last two years.

Last week I met the newest fire department baby!! Baby Emmett spent a week in the NICU. Shortly after his birth he was transported to a different hospital in a different city. About 5 hours after delivering Emmett Mallerie @michmari was released from the hospital to join her baby. I cannot imagine trying to leave the hospital and IV meds 😉 that soon after delivering a baby. She's a super mom! Thankfully everyone is happy and healthy. Congrats Travis and Mallerie!

Baby Cecilia is here!! I'm so happy that my sweet friends Jessica and Stefano have a little boy and a baby girl! Nico was so excited to show off his baby sister when I arrived at the hospital. Here's a few of my favorite photos from their hospital newborn session. 

So I'm possibly the worse sister in the world! It has taken me almost 6 months to edit and deliver my sister's maternity, birth and newborn photos. Last July my sister had her first baby!! YAY!! I'm finally an Auntie...right!?! I was so excited! I spent a month in Denver in the heart of wedding season to be there for my sister. She didn't share much about her pregnancy and delivery but has allowed me to share that now

I have the cutest little friend! I look forward to seeing Henry and his parents every year that Fire Fighter Honor Guard training weekend. This year they decided to spend a night at our house, which my family loved.

I usually photograph Candice, Keith and the kids once year but this year we squeezed in two sessions. The first one in August and the second one in November for the Hill extended family on the family farm just outside of Kansas City MO. 

Lucy was so excited for photos, but Ruby not so much. Ruby had no plans of looking at my camera and smiling pretty. I'm about 98% sure she suffers from "Photographer Child Syndrome". This is a very real condition ( not really) afflicting children of photographers everywhere. Caused from an overexposure to a giant "fancy" camera shoved in their general direction since birth, the symptoms include: inability to look directly at a camera..ever, unless wearing a completely unusable expression, temporary deafness, extreme wiggles and sudden fits of crying. I know all the signs, I have three children and rarely get a perfect photo of them together.  That leaves sweet baby June, she's such a perfect baby. June slept the entire time! She's loves to be held, she loves her sisters annnnd she's learning to love her daddy. Erin and Adam told me that June loves her mommy but cries whenever daddy holds her. 

I love seeing the Whitton family every year, last year Jen and Matt added baby to the family session. This year they brought Grandpa, Grandma plus and Matt's sister Kristin and her family. Let me tell you ... photographing 6 children under 7 is not an easy task especially when it's cold but I'm so happy with the way this family extended session turned out. PLUS we made time for Ollie's signature head tilt pose. 

I love the Notz family!!! This is my 3rd year photographing this adorable family, last year it was Cari and Bennett's wedding. It was very cold at their session year this BUT the kids did great. I love seeing how the kids grow each year and already looking forward to seeing the Notz family in 2017. 

'Tis the season for winter and holiday family photos! I have a few sessions available for Dec 4th in the morning near Green Bay Wisconsin. Here's a sample of the sessions I photographed in November! Couples, families, pets and newborns! Mini sessions are 15 minutes, with 15 digital photos emailed for you to print photos or cards anywhere online. OHHHHH...and there's milk and chocolate chip cookies! 

Last year I photographed Courtney and Derrick's maternity session, over Winter Avaya's newborn photos and now a Fall Family Session!!! Love this family! 

This family is so loving and adorable! The boys are full of energy and love being outside. They brought Grandma and Grandpa who have been married  37 years !!! Such a fun Manitowoc family session and I'm in LOVE with all the black and white photos. 

This family is so adorable! Landon and Lauren are the cutest, sweetest and most loving siblings. They really love each other and definitely best friends. Soon Liv will be able to crawl then walk and chase her big brother and sister. This wasn't just a family session but also session to celebrate Christine and Justin's 10th Anniversary. Ten years and 3 babies later you can feel the love and happiness in every photo. 

Happy 10th Anniversary to Christine and Justin!

I love watching this family grow every year! This year Myla lost her top two front teeth right before family pictures. Liam showed up so excited to see me that he fell before photos even started and got his pants dirty. This Liam is like my Liam so this didn't surprise me. The meaning of the name Liam is " Strong Willed" and that he is BUT also funny, sweet and full of energy. I swear Jocelyn and Scott never age, and still madly in love! 

I love these two beautiful ladies! Jamie is so loving and caring and Bryn is a toddle going on teen! A sweet, wild child, that loves M&M's and all things pink!! I can't wait to travel back to Madison in Spring to photograph these ladies again! 

I've photographed Stacey, Tyler and Olivia the last 3 years and this year they scheduled an extended family session! Little Annabelle was so cute and not sure about the grass. Olivia was so excited, happy, three going on sixteen AND funny! She definitely loved being in front of the camera.
