Last night I had the pleasure of trekking to Kewaunee with Abbie and her family for some belly portraits.  Now, Abbie and I have known each other for quite a while.  We worked at the same photography studio a few years back and after leaving, we both decided to venture off on our own and start our own business.  Now, when I got pregnant with Bobby Abbie helped us out by photographing both my belly and newborn photos.  And last fall we swapped family sessions as well.  It is so handy having someone you trust in the business!

SO, when I found out earlier this year that she was expecting baby #2, I was thrilled for them….and SO excited to return the favor and do their belly photos!  We had a perfect evening for photos last night and got some fabulous images!

Abbie and Greg, I hope you love them as much as I do!

Their son Logan is SUCH a sweetie!  I just love him!

quick shot of Logan while mom did a shirt change..

little ham:)

Logan calls the baby ‘Smiley Face’  How adorable is that?  Here he is giving some love to the babe…

love this.

and one last shot of the gorgeous Momma to be….again:)

Saturday afternoon I headed up to Melissa and Adam’s house in Spruce for some belly photos.  Melissa is due with a baby boy at the beginning of July and I am just SO excited for them.  These two have a gorgeous house and I brought all my gear and did a few shots on the backgrounds, a few in the nursery and we were even able to get outside for a couple shots!  That hasn’t happened since late last summer for maternity photos! 
Melissa, thanks so much for asking me to do your belly photos.  This is such an incredible time for you, to have that baby growing inside your belly.  Even though at times you are going to be miserable and uncomfortable, enjoy every second because believe me, you will miss it when he is in your arms.  And Adam, thanks for being a good sport!  I know the photos weren’t your cup of tea, but you did awesome.  I can’t wait to meet baby Brodie!  Enjoy the sneak peek!
How cute are they!?

LOVED the Old MacDonald theme for the nursery.  so super cute!

there are certain photos that make me miss being prego.  this is one of them:)

LOVE this one.  it was so gorgeous out on Saturday!

Monday afternoon I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Kevin, Erin and her picture perfect baby belly. (seriously.  She has the kind of belly that you see in pregnancy magazines.  It is perfect!) I was able to photograph their engagement session two years ago, their wedding last May (check out the pics) and when she contacted me for a maternity shoot, I was THRILLED!  I just love when I get to see a couple through all of lives important milestones and Kevin and Erin, well, they are just fabulous to work with.  They are the sweetest, most genuine couple you’d ever like to meet and when their baby girl arrives in a month she is going to be one very loved and cherished little angel. 
Kevin and Erin had nothing in mind for their maternity shoot, so I took that opportunity to try some new things out on them and they didn’t seem to mind being my guinea pigs at all!  And I must say, we got some of my favorite maternity shots to date!  (it helps that their living room and Amelia’s nursery are full of gorgeous natural light.)  Just a fabulous, relaxed and FUN session!
Kevin and Erin, thanks so much for choosing me to be the photographer to capture these special moments for you.  I can not wait to meet little Amelia next month!  Enjoy your sneak peek!
aren’t they adorable? 
look at that insanely perfect belly.  If I didn’t like Erin so much I would have to hate her:)

and in Amelia’s gorgeous nursery

With these two as parents there is a very good chance little Amelia could be the cutest baby in Green Bay

and after those we took the backdrops down, put all the props away and brought out Kevin and Erin’s first babies, Mystic and Pluto.  These two were outside for most of the session and when they were finally able to come in, well, they were VERY excited to see mom and dad.  We tried to get a few shots of them sitting nicely next to mom and dad, but they were having none of it.  Just WAY to much excitement!  And even though there were no shots of them sitting still, we still got some fabulous shots with Amelia’s big brother and sister.

Look, Mystic is trying to get over and give Amelia some love…
There are kisses for the baby!
Mystic thought I was there to take photos of HER after a while!
Thanks again you guys!
Saturday morning I headed over to De Pere to photograph one of my very favorite families, the Blahnik’s.  I have been photographing these guys for years and just love their adorable, laid-back family dynamic.  I joke with Chad and Amber and tell them that their ever-growing family could keep me in business even if I had no other work!  I love that Amber makes getting updated photos of her kiddos a priority. 
Right now they have four kids and Saturday I headed over to do Jocelyn’s(child #3) four year photos AND belly photos of Amber because she is expecting baby number FIVE!   Yup, five kiddos!  I am so excited for them and for me because this time around they decided to have me photograph the day of the new baby’s birth!  I have wanted to get into birth photography forever now and am so pumped that my first go-round will be with these guys who I am 100% comfortable with.  Ahh, they are just a lovely little bunch.  Okay, enough blabbing…here are a few from their session Saturday!
Enjoy the sneak peek you guys!

Mom and her kidlets!
that is a LOT of hands on one belly!
love for their new sister or brother!
