Kim & Kevin are expecting a little boy in a few short weeks & recently came into the studio for a maternity session.

I met Kim over 3  years ago.  She was the attending nurse for a birth I photographed at St. Mary’s.  I photographed her & Kevin’s daughters Jasmine & Tia, & was so excited to hear they were expecting baby #3 & it was a sweet little boy!

So excited to meet him @ his newborn session & enjoy your sneak peak!

I know this shot has been done a million & one times, but I still get many couples who request it.  For some reason it really worked for me this time.  I love how this shot fell together for them!

So notice the band on Kevin’s hand.  On the flip side it says “It’s a boy” & he wears it every day, how CUTE is that?

Here is one of the big sisters :: Jasmine

Big Sister.

Pink. Tiny. Newborns = Awesomeness.

Brian & Emily chose NOT to find out what they were having {which I give those folks a lot of credit} & I was so excited to get her text when little baby girl Ashlynn came into this world on July 9th.  They were into the studio 7 days later & Ashlynn was just perfect.  I love photographing newborns, smelling their sweet new baby smell, their soft little squishy skin & seeing the amazing love on their parents’ face when they hold them.

Especially first time parents like B & E.  I’ve known them both for almost 10 years & photographed their wedding 3 years ago this September {how time flies}.

Just for fun here is an image from their engagement session 4 years ago & wedding 3 years ago

Congrats on your perfect little girl, I look forward to watching her grow up!

Enjoy your Sneak Peaks!

Nothing, & I mean nothing is much sweeter than watching two big brothers & their sweet little sister.  That was the case for this threesome.  Weston & Will were so amazing with their little sister Charlotte & I can’t wait to see how cute & protective they are as she grows up & gets older.  When I last photographed the Leeder family, they were a family of 4, and Charlotte makes 5 & I’m so happy for you guys & your new {pink} addition!

This is what you get when you ask the daddy to “help out” during a session & hold fabric….

Enjoy the sneak peak, Molly & Mike

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

Oh Maddy, you are so stinkin adorable with those little “Annie” curls of yours!  Maddy & her sister Lauren have been clients of mine for several years & I always tell Mom & Dad what perfect little ‘models’ they have.  They have always been so easy to photograph, the camera absolutely loves them (both).

This time though, Maddy wanted to give me a little challenge.  She was attached to her momma the day of our session.  In a way it was pretty darn cute.  Just another reason why I love what I do for my clients, I am able to stop time for a moment & document the way they are right then.  Maddy was super “clingy” but to me, I loved the interaction, love & sweetness between her & her mommy.

We did schedule a “take 2″ session, & this time we went outside, so Maddy could run.  Glad we did both.  It allowed for some really sweet images.

Enjoy the sneak peak!

This pretty much sums it up ::

Absolutely LOVE her curls

Session {take 2}

Big Sister : Lauren

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

I photographed Mr. ONE-year old Fin this past week in the studio.  We were originally wanting an outdoor session, but mother nature decided to rain for like 115 days in a row.  So we decided to bring a little outdoor fun, inside.  Mama & Daddy brought along one of Fin’s FAVORITE things to do :: Bubbles.

It has been so much fun photographing this little guy over the past year!  He has grown up to be such a cutie!

Enjoy the sneak peak

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!
