I recently flew to Michigan for the day to photograph a fabulous family before they take off on their next adventure : Japan.

I met Beth & Andrew a few years ago when I started photographing their then newborn : Ruby.  They lived in Madison @ the time & we had the opportunity to photograph at their home as well as at the state capital for a super fun Christmas session.

A lot has happened for this cute family between then & now.  Janna & Gwyn arrived last August while they were temporarily living in Denmark & you may remember a BLOG post earlier this year from when I traveled to MI to photograph the Robinson clan while they were home visiting for the holidays.

Click here to see that session.

It has been my pleasure to work with you guys & watch the girls grow up & get more beautiful every time I see them!

Safe travels to Japan & looking forward to next time!

Teja turns 16!!

Recently I had the opportunity to photography Teja’s 16th birthday in Madison, Wisconsin.  It was at the Eagle Heights Community Center

It was a wonderful party, full of great friends, family & outstanding food.   I just absolutely love photographing families that are so friendly, outgoing & fun!

I was able to take Teja aside & do some shots of just her & also her family.  Thanks for having me, it was great getting to meet you all!

I absolutely LOVE photographing first birthdays.  It is such a milestone for that little person & mommy & daddy.
I especially love photographing first birthdays when I’ve had the opportunity to photograph their newborn sessions, it is always a blast to see the changes from day 1 to day 365+.  Mommy & Daddy {a.k.a Sarah & Matt} have been clients for sometime now, I photographed their wedding & enjoy seeing them every time they are back in town.     We had a great session & combined both outdoor & indoor locations.  Sterling was a bit under the weather but he managed to be a trooper.

Meet Sterling & his friend “Sherman”

We used this same cowboy hat during his newborn session last July only his whole body fit in there

Sterling was not thee biggest fan of the cake, {Sarah you did a great job, the cake looked wonderful} but he entertained us nonetheless.

Enjoy your sneak peak

Reese with her adorable smile & crazy silly pig-tails made for an excellent model for her 1-year session.

I’ve been working with her older brother & mommy & daddy for quite a few years now & am always amazed @ how much she changes every time I see her.  She is so cute & bubbly, just like her brother was when I photographed him @ age 1.

We managed to sneak in a few family shots too.

Who would have thought, that Janesville’s Dog park would make a good location for a outdoor session.  We even made it out of there unscathed – if you know what I mean

Enjoy the Sneak Peak

…and just for fun.  One of Olin @ his 1-year session

When Liam came into the studio with all of his wonderful “accessories” that mama had recently purchased from etsy I was so excited.  I have had the privilege  of photographing his older sister Anika for the past year & a half & event though mr. Liam & I have met before this was his first session all to himself!

I think he did quite well & I look forward to seeing him grow over the next several months!  His cheeks are just TOO much!

Enjoy the sneak peak

Could he BE ANY cuter?  {In my best Chandler Bing voice…}

Yikes, this kid is A-dorable.  I had so so much fun photographing him & a big THANK-you to momma for some super fabulous props that she purchased from several different Etsy stores.  Etsy will get you in trouble, for sure.  Some pretty darn cute things…

I photographed Grayson when he was just a few days old back in January & it was a pleasure to see him again, only this time with big huge chubby cheeks, beautiful bright eyes & a smile that is just too much.

I. Love. My. Job. & am so thankful for such amazing clients!

Enjoy the Sneak Peak!

I met Chris & Kirsten @ Miller Park for the first part of our engagement session & we had beautiful Wisconsin Spring weather to photograph in!

We had a very special guest with us : Kaden.  Chris & Kirsten’s son.  He was ADORABLE.  With all capital letters.  My gosh he was so good as we toured the city of Milwaukee & stopped every 5 minutes for a shot.  Not to mention his beautiful smile.  Thanks Kaden for hanging with us & not complaining!  Hope Mom & Dad took you to a great place for dinner!

We started off inside the stadium for a few…

Then headed to the 3rd Ward

C & K you are so adorable!  I can’t wait to photograph your wedding this October!!

Kaden you are SO cute I just want to squeeze your little cheeks off

Enjoy the sneak peaks!

So here is the rest of the sneak peak for my ‘earthy momma’ from yesterday.  We started out @ the library & worked our way to a local farm.  I had a great day photographing this fun family.  Enjoy the sneak peaks & happy weekend.

Sweet little Kaia, in her own world.

OMG.  Story behind these next few shots.  Both Dana & Sean have a love for the arts, photography & Apple computers  I thought this would be perfectly fitting for them to bring a long their MacBooks for the session…. absolutely love love love.

Thanks again Murphy family for a fabulous afternoon.  xoxo
