Mr. Sterling turns TWO

Happy Birthday, little guy!

This is family number two for the month of June that added a new baby to their family within days of our session.

We had Sterling’s two year session on a Friday evening & Scarlett was born that following Monday!

So glad we were able to get one last session in before Miss Scarlett joined the family.

It has been such a pleasure to watch Sterling grow into such a handsome young toddler & now a Big Brother!

I love working with families every year & have really enjoyed working with Sarah & Matt over the last three years!

Enjoy the Sneak Peeks & coming soon will be Scarlett’s Newborn BLOG post.

BOY or GIRL

Which will it be?

This momma & dad-to-be decided to find out & keep it a BIG ‘OLE FAT secret from everyone.

I give them a lot of credit for keeping that secret from their loved ones.

{ Lets just say : I love the perks of my job }

I may or I may not know….

The night before our session, C & E were in the emergency room.  Everything was totally fine with little baby “peanut”.  It was Christy who needed to be seen.

She was absolutely determined to get her wedding ring back on for the Maternity Session, well she got it on alright, but it ended up turning her fingers/hand blue & off they went to the E.R. in the middle of the night.  Luckily they were able to cut the ring off & actually C was able to slip it on during our session still.

Also a big HUGE thanks to daddy-o for going out to get the bag of peanuts, mid-session.

I had a blast getting to know you both & I look forward to welcoming that little

GIRL or BOY peanut into your lives, really soon.

Enjoy the sneak peeks

Melissa & Brandon brought their sweet little baby girl into the studio for her newborn session.

I met M & B several years ago when I photographed their engagement session & was so excited to hear they were expecting.

Newborns involve a lot of work & patience but so rewarding, I love taking the time to cuddle them down to sleep & prepare them for the next shot.

The love between this little family of three, is so amazing. Documenting that was my pleasure!

Thanks for your time M & B and it was great visiting with you both again.

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Brayton is so fabulous in front of the camera.  He always has a surprise waiting for me around the corner of the lens.  His eyes are crazy awesome.

His parents & I met a few years back at the Rock County Bridal Fair.  They own an amazing stationary store on Madison’s West side, called

The Paper Deli Store

If you haven’t had an opportunity to swing into their store, you have to.  They have fabulous unqiue gifts, cards & also drop dead gorgeous invitations.  So if you are getting married?  You’ve got to check them out.  {wow I’m like a commercial}  No seriously.  They have some great stuff, make sure & swing by the next time your in Madison.

Then even carry these :

HARVEYS Seatbelt Bags

Moving on, oh yes Brayton.

We had a wonderful morning shooting Brayton’s 3 1/2 year session.  They picked me up early a.m. so we could scope out locations together & what sweet clients, there was a Starbucks Latte waiting for me.  {thanks}

Enjoy the Sneak Peek

I had the pleasure of meeting Karen & her family this past week.  She was the winner of my Hospice Care Donation {@ Sips & Sounds}.  I enjoyed meeting both her & her husband, the beautiful St. Bernard doggies & Chris & Julia, & Nick.  Thanks for the tour of your amazing home & can’t wait to see the final finished product!

Karen & Steve.  Again beautiful home, awesome job Steve!

Chris & Julia are getting married in Oregon next year {2011} so we took a few impromptu engagement shots while I was there.

Nice meeting all of you,

Thanks

One of my {many} favorite parts of my job is watching the families grow through out the years.  I started photographing this family a year & a half ago & have loved every minute.  Big sister has so much spunk & personality it is contagious.  I *heart* her smile & love for her dollies (red & purple).  Now since little sister arrived AKA her mini-me I get to see the family in action as a family of 4.

Thanks for coming in, as usual had a great time capturing your family do what you do best!

Meet baby sister Naomi:

Hope this was the image you were thinking of… love love

Big sister Micah

Thanks,
