Yesterday morning I met John, Tori and their adorable baby girl Reagan over at the Botanical Gardens for the little one’s one year session.  It was ridiculous hot already when we started at 9am(my car read 85 when I was leaving!) so we worked fast and got some absolutely adorable shots of the birthday girl.  I did Reagan’s newborn and 6 month photos too and she has been an angel for every session.  Tons of smiles and just a joy to photograph!

John and Tori, I hope you guys were able to spend the rest of your 4th of July in the glorious air conditioning.   And I hope you love these photos!

such a lovely little family!best. smile. ever.

Monday afternoon I met my friend Christa over at Pamperin Park for some one year portraits of her baby boy.  While I had seen plenty of photos of little Hank on Facebook, I had never met him and must admit that after our session yesterday, I kind of wanted to take him home with me.   Man, what a little love bucket.  I would have photographed him all afternoon had it not been 95 degrees outside.   Sheesh it was hot, but Hank did awesome and we got some super fabulous photos.

Christa, it was so nice to chat with you and to finally meet that gorgeous little man of yours!  Hope you love the sneak peek!

isn’t he a handsome devil?I have a small obsession with baby toes.  love em.

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of taking little Eleanor’s one year portraits over at Pamperin Park.  We had originally planned on doing them in the late afternoon, but with the crazy heat in Wisconsin right now, we pushed the session up to 9am and I am so glad we did.  It was gorgeous at that time and we got some adorable images of little Ellie.  Even a few with mom and big sister Charlotte.

Stacy, your girls are just precious!  Hope you love the sneak peek!

how flippin cute are they???!!!those eyes!! eeee!!!!big sister Charlotte helping model my new headbandlove from Momma

Monday morning I met Liam and his mom and grandma over at Pamperin for his one year portraits.  I photographed his 9 month photos earlier this year and he wasn’t a huge fan of my camera during that session, and I am sad to say that he STILL isn’t a fan of me or my camera.  He was not a happy camper for his session and the only time we even got a hint of a smile was when Mom was holding him.    We still got some adorable shots though and Joanne and Katrina, I hope you love them!

This photo cracks. me. up.  It was like we were torturing the poor little man!

there is a little smile!

Monday afternoon I met my frequent clients, the Blahnik family, over at the Wildlife Sanctuary for some photos of two of their five kids.  Bryson turned 3 and Joleigh turns 7, so we did some updated yearly photos of each of them and then a couple groups shots in their Brewer gear as well.   It was a gorgeous day and all 5 kids did so well!  It’s funny, I take their photos so often I have started talking to and treating these kids like they are my neices and nephews.  They are such good kids and all get along so well.  It was a great little session.

Amber, it was great to chat with you and the kiddos again!  Hope you love the sneak peek!

the whole gang!

a quick shot with Mom too!isn’t he a sweetie?!

Tuesday afternoon I headed over to Pamperin Park to photograph Charlotte’s two year old session.  I have been photographing this little darling since she was 3 months old and every time I see her, I love her a little more.  She is just this hysterical, spunky, adorable little girl and I could have seriously chatted with her. all. day. long.  She is just a few weeks younger than my Bobby and they are at the BEST age right now.  They are just starting to really speak well and you can actually have conversations with them.  Which is awesome except for the fact that most kiddos this age have a one track mind.  And on Tuesday, Charlotte’s was focused on one thing and ONLY one thing.  The playground.  She must have told me 400 times that she wanted to go to the park.  However, in between mentions of the the park, we got some SUPER adorable photos.  She did awesome, as she always does, and we were even able to sneak in a few family shots and some with her baby sister, Macy.

Jill and Jake, so lovely to see you guys again.  Hope you love the latest installment of photos of your little peanut!

love for sistera few with the whole gangprobably my favorite shot of the session.  Can you tell they are related?  ha! 😉More love for sister!

Tuesday morning I headed down to Greenleaf to photograph Parker’s one year photo session.  It had been almost exactly a year since I photographed his newborn session and I was so excited to see his sweet face again.  Back when we did his newborn session, he was the perfect little model.  Calm, content and let me put him in all sorts of props without much fuss at all.  And not much has changed in the past year.  He did fabulous for his one year photos and we even snuck mom and dad in for a couple shots as well.

Angie and Todd, thanks so much for asking me to come out and shoot Parker’s one year session!  He is such a sweet little boy and I am so glad I got a chance to photograph him again!  Hope you guys love the sneak peek!

“Did you hear?!!  I am ONE!!!!!”The moment this popped up on my computer screen, one thought entered my head: Dr Evil.  ha.  how gorgeous is this family!!!??? 

Monday afternoon I headed over to my friend Shelly’s house to photograph her two adorable daughters.  I have been taking three year old Anna’s photos since she was just a wee little thing and I just adore her smile and spunky personality.  She always does fantastic for her sessions and I could photograph her for hours.  And her brand new baby sister Kate is just as gorgeous as her big sister, but unfortunately, she wasn’t as big of a fan of my camera as her sister is.  We got some adorable shots of her, but she definitely let us know when she was d.o.n.e. with her photos!

Chad and Shelly, your girls are beautiful!  I hope you love the sneak peek!

doesn’t she have the best smile?!love thisBaby Kateisn’t she gorgeous?  those lips!!! eee!  and a couple with Momma to end the session

Tuesday afternoon I headed over to the Wildlife Sanctuary to photograph (almost) 18 month old Addyson and her momma, Raychel.  I have done Addy’s photos five time now and she is alwasys very inquisitive and curious, but never that big of a fan of my camera.    However, while catching a smile from her on camera is rare, we always get tons of other expressions and adorable shots!  And this time Raychel snuck into a few shots with her baby girl as well.  Was just a lovely little shoot!

Raychel, I hope you love the images we captured despite the lack of smiles from your princess!

LOOK!  A smile!how great is this shot of Momma with her baby?!loving life with Momma..But then we hit a rough patch in the session…oh, she has a rough, rough lifeI love this one.  so dramatic. But then she settled down and gave me (almost) another smile!watching the geese with MomMomma’s girl

Tuesday afternoon I met one of my oldest and dearest friends at the golf course in Oconto Falls to photograph her baby’s one year portraits.  Little Henry turns one year old today and is just the sweetest little love bug on the planet.  He is the happiest baby I have ever met.  Smiles constantly, doesn’t care who holds him or who is talking to him, he is just always happy!  And always a pleasure to photograph.  We got some absolutely adorable shots of him on the 7th hole at the golf course  (his Grandma Kathy’s favorite spot on the course) and I seriously could have photographed him all afternoon.

Kim and Ben, hope you love the shots of your littlest man!

a quick shot with big brother Jeffreyhe was all about giggling and running away from me see, constantly running away.  He started walking at 9 months, so he has that running thing down pat now!Kim wanted a shot on the bridge and we got an adorable one!Go Brewers!My favorite photo of the session.  Henry’s dad is a big time golfer so I thought this was appropriate.  man, I love little baby butts.
