A Fun Maternity Session

This maternity session was very exciting for me. Not only were they an awesome mom, baby, and toddler, but they are also very dear friends to my daughter and me.

As Mom M and I often talked about together, you never know if this will be your last pregnancy, so she let me document this beautiful new life inside. Of course, big brother E was great with the camera too, it never hurts to bribe them with stickers. :)

My family is so excited to meet this new little one.

This first picture is probably my favorite.

....Or wait, maybe I saved my favorite for last!

More of little B

Thank you family O for making the 1 1/2 hour trip down to see me. Baby B did amazing and we even got her to sleep! I know she'll grow up to be as beautiful as her big sister.

Family Pics Part 1

I had the opportunity to take pictures for a family of 15! Every single one of them was a joy to photograph. Here are a few sneak previews. I'll let you know as soon as the pictures are ready to check out, thanks for being so patient.

Merry Christmas....late

We had a whirlwind of a Christmas this year. We were all sick at our house and Eliana turned Two on Christmas Day. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for giving me the opportunity to take pictures of your family. I look forward to having the opportunity next year.

Also, I wanted to let everyone know that we are expecting our second baby in less than 8 weeks (Feb. 21st). Therefore, I have begun to slow down a bit with the number of sessions I'm scheduling. I will be back to a more regular schedule once the baby is born. I'm currently looking at getting back into the swing of things by the beginning of May, but of course I'll update the blog with more information. If you are wanting pictures taken, please don't hesitate to call or email and I will let you know the soonest date I will be available.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

A New Baby

There's a new baby at the O home and isn't little baby B beautiful? There's nothing better than seeing the bright eyes of a 6 day old.

Of course she's beautiful when she's sleepy too!

These girls are going to be best friends. Little Miss S is a wonderful big sister.

Little Boy G

Meet Little Boy G. He braved the cold snowy Sunday for the sake of having his pictures taken. He did a great job, of course having three of his favorite people around to entertain him always helps. Check out his gorgeous blue eyes, look out girls!

What a trooper, despite the cold he still smiled for us. Of course having mom jump around behind me always helps :)

Miss S is One!

What a big girl Miss S has become. I have had the opportunity to watch her grow from inside her mom's belly until now. She is turning one and is so much fun. I really enjoyed this session, you get to learn the personality of the kid's. Thanks for bringing her in and letting me be part of her first year of life. I have loved having the opportunity to take her pictures.

At one year, the cake is probably my favorite series of photos.

Of course she's an angel :)

Those beautiful blue eyes just pop out with her blue shirt.

Sensational Senior

While just about all of my work is babies, children, and families, I do sneak some seniors in there. Meet Mr. C. He, his mom, brother and sister made the trek to Appleton from Jackson. I had a great afternoon with all four of them. It's so nice to have this change of pace, to actually have some cooperation! Thanks so much for letting me take your pictures :)

Little Boy B

What a beautiful little boy and of course equally beautiful parents to go along with! It was such a joy to meet the M family on Saturday. This session went so well and I'm really having a hard figuring out what images to keep. You'll be having quite a few extra to look through, sorry I just can't help myself! I'll let you know when they're ready.
