Playing catch-up

I have been lazy about updating my blog here but I have some great pictures to show off! I flew out to Utah last weekend to photograph a wedding and while I was there I squeezed in 2 additional shoots as well. Here are pictures from my first shoot down there. These kids happen to be my nieces and nephew. I haven't seen them in over 4 years so it was neat to get to know them while I took their pictures.

A turns one

A is one of our "My First Year" clients. Yesterday we had the last of her 4 sessions. She will be turning one this coming week. A has been one of my favorite babies ever. She is so sweet and smiley and does just about whatever we ask of her. Her parents are so creative too, they always show up with tons of outfits and props. We had a lot of fun in Downtown Madison capturing her vibrant personality.

One year old (and a few months)

This little one got in for his one year photo's a little late, but he is just about the cutest little guy I know. He was very well behaved for his pictures and gave me the best smiles.

AGAPE baby and family fair

Today was the annual fair. This is our third year participating in it. This year we spent a ton of time improving our booth and trying to make it something really special. We really liked the way our booth turned out and I am very proud of the impression we put forth. Jon and I talked to tons of people and feel really good about the way things went.

We launched a September special while we were at the fair, and so I wanted to announce it here too.
We are having a drawing at the end of September for a FREE 20x24” gallery wrapped canvas. (a $200 value) To enter this drawing you need to book a session with us by September 30, 2010. (Your session does not need to be completed during September, just scheduled). On September 30^th we will draw a name out of the qualifying clients and award them the canvas of their choice after their session is completed.

Here are some pictures from the fair.

Aleks take 3

Today I got to visit with adorable little Aleks. This is his 3rd of 4 photo shoots during his first year. He has grown so much since his newborn days and is now sitting up on his own, crawling, and pulling up. He is also the friendliest baby I know. He crawled right over to me to be held and was happy to sit on my lap. The only downside is he was determined to crawl to me instead of sit and get his picture taken! We got to try a new shot today that I have been wanting to try. I think it turned out great, what about you?


Here are the rest of the teasers for Mom and Dad. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Growing up

I love watching my clients grow up. It is amazing to see how much they change and mature in just one short year. This is my third year photographing this lovely family. I did their first family portrait when their second set of twins was born, then again at the boys 1st birthday and finally, on Saturday, near their second birthday.





I have also worked with Mom, Barbara, on the images for her wonderful Baby Bowl's website and package. Can you believe that this Mom not only takes care of two sets of twins, but also runs her own business!?! She is super mom for sure.

Here are some wonderful shots from their session Saturday.
