THE "K" FAMILY

Tracy and her family were hoping for a few outdoor shots, but as fate would have it, it was about -11 below zero on the day of their session. I don't even know if my camera would perform well with those kinds of temperatures - let alone my fingers!   We did get some great indoor shots though - in the nice warm studio :-).   Here are a few from their session:

JUST PLAIN CUTE!

Arianna did great for her session even though she was a little shy at first.   Her mom scheduled this session since Arianna turned 3 last week.  After we sang the ABC's and some other kids' songs, she started to warm up and give me her natural smile!  I think these turned out so cute - what a beautiful little girl!!   Oh-check out my newest prop - the turquoise chair. I got it from a Marshfield lady, Barbara Erickson.  She refinishes old/vintage pieces and does a fantastic job!  I will be getting a high chair from her this spring for my baby sessions!
  

HALEY IS ON THE WAY!

This is my niece, Rebekah and her son, Mason.  I am a bit behind in my blogging, so as I write this, Haley is already a few days old!  She came about 2 weeks early and is doing great.  I can't wait to take her newborn pictures!   I just love how the maternity turned out and can't wait to meet little Haley!

FAMILY SESSIONS-The "B" Family

I love it when families return to me year after year for their family portraits.  It is so great to see how the children grow and develop each year.  When Nicole brought her family to me 3 years ago, I was just beginning my business and I did not have a studio.  Her youngest daughter was about 1 1/2, and refused to look at the camera!  The next year, it was about the same.  This year, however, Bryleigh loved the camera!  She was so much to photograph.  Her older sister, Brezylyn, has always been very cooperative in front of the camera, and Braedon always has too.  They are such cute kids and such a great family to work with!!

SENIOR SESSIONS-Eli and Antoinette

Wow- I am so far behind in my blogging.  It's been a busy fall and then all the prep for Christmas. . .   
I am glad to catch up on my seniors.  I had these two seniors come to me late in the season. 

Eli is from Marshfield High School.  I enjoyed doing the snowboarding shots with him.  He's very photogenic though, and I think all of him images turned out great.

Antoinette goes to Columbus Catholic School.  What a sweetheart! I love her western style and all her cool boots!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of year.   As a child, I loved it because it meant a day at Grandma's with the cousins, as a young adult, it meant my family going to my mother's and mother-in-law's homes and enjoying their cooking.  Now that I live 782 miles from my mom, and my first mother-in-law has passed away, I take turns with my sister-in-law hosting Thanksgiving for my husband's family.  Traditions change over time, but one tradition should always be our thankfulness for what we have.  Make a list of your blessings - it is a great eye opener when we list all we have been blessed with.  May you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a wonderful year full of blessings!

JUST "TWO" CUTE

Hannah and Hailey - double the cuteness - double the adventure!!  Twins present a challenge like no other (except for maybe triplets). This was such a fun session and I really got my workout!!!  Their big brother, Mason, was a big help!  Most of the images below are PSE composites because trying to get one year olds to look at the camera at the same time - or even be in the camera frame at the same time is a real challenge!  But I think the results are so worth it!
