This session was a pure delight. Mom had an amazing vision for the session, and I was more than happy to hunt around to find the perfect locations to fit the bill. The day went off without a hitch! The girls were practically made to model, the day was gorgeous, the light was yummy, and look at these outfits!!! I do LOVE Matilda Jane!! Thanks for a wonderful time, ladies! I can’t wait for the next session!

Take one look at this bleach blonde hair and piercing blue eyes – can you tell this little one is growing up in the surf and sun in Florida? He was up here visiting Grandma, and we were able to sneak in a quick session. A little guy this cute deserves some time in front of the camera. He was wonderful to photograph, and it’s easy to see where he gets it (mom and grandma are both GORGEOUS!). It was so nice meeting you three! Mom, I hope you’re settled back in at home. Get ready to view some pure yumminess in the form of your son – his gallery will be up shortly. Grandma, here’s a little sneak peak of your favorite little man – I’m sure you’re missing him dearly! Thanks for an awesome session!

Love, love, love it.

this family has had TWO back to back mosquito filled sessions. Last year’s was crazy, but this year we were prepared with mucho, mucho bug spray. I can’t say it made things perfect, but boy did it help! It’s always fun to see returning clients, espeically when one of their boys is a former student of mine! I love watching past students grow up – one big plus to teaching in a small, k-12 school! Hopefully, I’ll have his little brother in class next year!

Thanks for another fun session. I love the car images, and I hope you guys do, too!

Best Session Recipe…

Your one of your BFFs from high school

Her two adorable boys

Location: Cool Farm in Wanatah oozing with photographically supreme surroundings

Free reign and no pressure

Happy Subjects

- (MINUS!!!!)

Swarms of killer mosquitoes ready to suck every last ounce of juice from your generally happy body, while surely infecting you with West Nile

If it wasn’t for the attack of the killer mosquitoes, this may have been the best session EVER. However, try to be at your best creatively while worrying about your subject (and you) becoming one big swollen mess in a matter of 3.2 seconds. Not easy. If they didn’t live so far away, it would have been a rescheduling MUST, but that wasn’t a possibility. So, we strapped on our big girl and boy panties (which were unfortunately free of any available bug spray), and made the best of it. Thank goodness for her two overly willing subjects. These boys are not only gorgeous, but good tempered, and funny. Blake, buddy, I hope we got some images that YOU like. I can’t wait to hear a new song next time I see you! You are the definition of a good big brother and a kid that is beyond his years. I was so glad to get to spend some time with you! Thanks for the laughs and being such a trooper. Sara – I love you, and it was so good seeing you. Your new little one is beautiful and lovely in every way. I’m so happy to see you and your family so happy. WB forever. lololol
