Sunday morning I met Ben, Heather and their two boys over at Pamperin for my first family photo session with them. Heather and I graduated high school together and Ben was a couple of years older than us in school. I don’t think I had ever met her boys (although I have seen lots of Facebook photos over the years!) and I must say, I can only hope that one day my boys are as sweet and well mannered as their boys. What great kids! And they both did awesome for their photos. Collin is in 6th grade and the spitting image of his dad and Trevor is in 4th grade and just a little ham in front of the camera. I had so much fun with the four of them!

Ben and Heather, I am so glad you guys asked me to do your family photos this year! I hope you love the images we captured!

Sunday morning I headed back up to Oconto Falls to photograph the Stecker family. It had been a few years since I had seen Nick, Jenny and their son Jack and I was thrilled when she called me a few months back for some updated photos. They not only needed some family photos, but about 6 weeks ago they added another baby boy to their clan, little Miles, and they also needed some newborn photos of him. We had such a lovely little session. Baby Miles did great. He showed me his big gorgeous eyes for a few shots and then fell asleep so we could get a couple sleeping baby photos as well. And his big brother was a total ham for my camera. One of the best behaved 3 year olds I have ever had my camera on!

Nick and Jenny, I hope you the love the latest and greatest of your newly expanded family!

That elephant hat just kills me.  adorable!such a handsome boy!

Such a good big brother!

Wednesday afternoon morning I met Luke, Paula and their crew of kiddos over at Pamperin Park for some updated family photos.  Paula and I went to high school together, but since then we haven’t seen each other much and it was great to get to catch up!  Her kids are all super sweet and we had a great day weather wise to get some photos of them both as a family and the kids individually. 

Paula and Luke, thanks so much for asking me to take your latest family portraits!  I hope you love your birthday present Paula!

Wednesday afternoon I met Robert, Virginia and Leah down at Devil’s River for some updated family photos. It had been a couple of years since our last family session and we had a gorgeous day for a shoot! Perfect weather, adorable family and plenty for us to chat about as we walked around the grounds!

Robert and Virginia, hope you love the latest images of the fam! Enjoy the sneak peek!

Isn’t Leah a doll?!!!

Monday night I met Josh and Janelle over at the Botanical Gardens for their 2012 family session. They have two adorable daughters who I have photographed many times before so I was sure the session would go off without a hitch and it most definitely did! We got some adorable shots of all four of them together plus some of each of the girls!

Josh and Janelle, I hope you love the images we captured Monday night. Your girls are just beautiful!

Saturday morning I headed over to the St. Norbert campus to photograph Shawn, Diane and their two adorable kidlets. It had been 2 years since we did a family photo shoot and we had an absolute gorgeous morning for it(and since Diane went to St. Norbert, the location of the shoot was perfect!)! Their kids Ayden and Madison are almost the same age as my boys and did SO fabulous for photos! I had a lovely time walking around, chatting with Diane and giggling with the kids. Just a picture perfect session!

Shawn and Diane, I hope you love the sneak peek!

Just love these shots of Madison….

Friday afternoon I met Jerry, Tracy and their two daughters, Heather and Courtney over at Pamperin for some updated family photos.  We were supposed to take photos Thursday afternoon, but because of all the rain we had that day, we pushed the shoot back to Friday and thank goodness we did!  What an absolute gorgeous day Friday was and these guys did great for their session.

Jerry and Tracy-thanks so much for benig flexible with our shoot!  I hope you love the images we captured!

Saturday morning I headed over to the Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay for a family session that came all the way from Eau Claire for their photos!  Angie emailed me a few weeks ago and said that her and her family were coming over to Green Bay for Packers Family Night and wondered if I could sneak in a session for them.  It turns out I had a free hour Saturday morning so it worked out perfectly!  It was a gorgeous overcast morning and we got some lovely photos of Scott, Angie and their three kiddos. 

Scott and Angie, thanks so much for asking me to photograph your clan!  You guys were awesome to work with and I hope to see you again in the future!  (And I hope all three kids crashed on the way back to Eau Claire!)   Enjoy the sneak peek!

Tuesday morning I met Tim, Alison and their two sweet kiddos over at Pamperin for some family photos.  Alison is the cousin of one of my other clients (thanks for the referral Alissa!) and I knew she had two kiddos, but never having met them before, I had no idea how absolutely adorable said kiddos would be.    Laine is three and Addy is almost 9 months and both of them are just cute as buttons.  Laine is such a typical boy…silly and rambunctious and has just about the sweetest smile I have ever seen.  And little Addy was such a lovebug.   They both did awesome and I got so many cute shots I had a hard time weeding them down for the blog post!

Tim and Alison, I hope you love the sneak peek!

doesn’t he have the BEST smile?!!!I just adore this.  Addy showing off her moves!

Sunday afternoon I met Rooney, Shaina and their 3 kiddos over at Pamperin park for some updated family photos.  I photographed the youngest two kidlets, Kace and Grant, about 7 months ago and they did great.  However, I always get a little anxious when we do a family session with a toddler and a baby…you just never quite know how it’s going to go.  Well, thankfully, with the adorable Freimund family, I worried for no reason.  The kids did AH-mazing.  Seriously, possibly the best behaved 3 kiddos for a family session ever.  Everyone was happy and smiling and just loving life…even baby Grant hammed it up for the camera.  Just a lovely little session!

Rooney and Shaina, I hope you guys love the sneak peek!
