Little Guy-T!

 My good friend A called me up recently and asked if I would be willing to take little T's 18 month pictures, and of course I said YES! He is adorable and loves to be outside, the perfect participant for photos :) We had a great time exploring and even found a few horses ;)  Thanks R family for calling me!

K Family

 A little bit of chill didn't scare this family away! We got some nice shots in a new location for me here in the Fox Valley. Thanks K family! I hope you enjoy your photos :)

B Family

 What a fun family! We had a great time getting some last bits of fall color in for their family photos :) The kids were great and we shared a lot of laughs and smiles! It was a pleasure working with you all.

 

D Family-Sneak Peek!

  The D family was ready to go on a Sunday afternoon after a Packers win! Lots of giggles from these two boys and lots of running for these busy parents :) Thanks D family for the experience!

S Family

 The S family and I met at a new location here in Appleton and had a blast catching some great sunshine as the sun was going down! Little J was adorable and full of smiles! It was nice meeting you S family! Enjoy!

 

 

L--Remembering those toothless grins :)

 

I am partial to L because he is my son. He has been in front of a camera since he was born and knows the drill well. The more you cooperate the quicker it goes!

Anyway, I took him down to a local college campus for a few pictures to remember him in this stage of life, no teeth and all!

M Session Two-A day at the farm

 I met with M this past weekend to get some more shots of her on her grandparents farm! Visiting a unique location is a special way to incorporate family memories into a session, I highly reccomend it!

 M's cousin B was able to hop in for a few shots as well. Both girls will be graduating this year and grew up together :)

Congrats girls! It was a pleasure working with you!

 

If you don't have a studio..........

 I am an "on-site" photographer, which means I don't have an actual studio. This setup works great in the warmer months as we are in Wisconsin and have some of the most beautiful outdoor backdrops around. Natural lighting makes for the best pictures so this is an ideal way to shoot photographs anyway. 

 

However, in the Winter things can get a little tricky. I am still able to shoot photographs, just not as many children or families due to the harsh winter. However, outdoor photos with snow make for some of the most beautiful engagement shots or senior photos!

 

I have also developed a small portable setup I take with me when I shoot newborn photos, or pictures of infants. Because this setup is portable and the clients are small I am able to take these photos in the winter. A room with lots of natural light works perfectly fine for these little babies and makes for some beautiful shots, without having to go outdoors. Here are some examples of that kind of portrait.

 

 

 

This little sweetie is more than happy to be indoors with heat and her cozy blanket :)

I strongly encourage any parents out there to consider newborn pictures. There is no better way to capture those fleeting baby moments!
