Fields of Fun

We've been photographing this sweet family though the years and it was fun to have them back for outdoor images!   This was a special session to celebrate dad Kevin's Birthday and playful black lab Kenzie was included too.  The portrait of Kenzie was a special gift for Kevin's Birthday. We think these beautiful images perfectly capture the fun and love in this cute family!

Sweet kisses!!

Who wouldn't want to smother this little guy with kisses?!?!  We loved having Greyson to the studio for his 6 month portraits-and little did we know that not only was he sitting up on his own, but he was also crawling, pulling himself up on furniture and generally motoring around quite well!!  (let's just say, he has got great genes!!) We created the BEST VALENTINES CARD EVER for this sweet family to send out this year!
We can't wait to see what Greyson is doing when he comes back for his year old portraits this summer! (at this rate, he may be running marathons!!)

Brandon - Class of 2014

Brandon came to us early this fall for senior portraits- we love his energy and enthusiasm for life!!  We had fun playing his music during the session, hearing some guitar solos and getting Brandon to show us his goofy side (see one of the images above!!)  We are sure Brandon is rockin' his senior year!! And we can't wait to hear where he ends up next year! Good luck, Brandon!!

Taylor-Class of 2014

We still have many more awesome high school senior sessions to share with you from this past summer and fall!  Meet Taylor- a althletic, quiet high school senior we had the pleasure of meeting this past summer.  Getting to know Taylor, we learned of his love of tennis and hockey.  We couldn't resist incorporating some tennis into his session.  Taylor was a great sport and allowed us to use our creativity in his session.  In fact, we might even say that Taylor really enjoyed himself during the session!  (although we are sure he thinks we are complete goofballs!!)  Have a great senior year, Taylor!

Smiles that light up any room!!

Ross and Alyse are 5 year old twins who light up any room they enter!!  The studio was abuzz the morning they visited us for these special portraits!! It's not every day that your twin kiddos turn 5 and start kindergarten in the fall!!  We loved Ross' energy and spunk-and his love for his sister!!  It warmed our hearts!! And Alyse had all the attitude and spark of a 5 year old going on 15!!  We loved it!!  But mostly we loved creating these beautiful portraits for their lovely mom, Betsy, who inspires us with her grace and positivity despite all that life has thrown her way.  We know these images are lighting up her home and as much as her heart!

Blue eyed babe!!

This little cutie deserves a blog post all of his own!!  Gabe is the youngest of three sweet boys who have been coming to us since Sam (who is now almost 6!) was a newborn. But for this session, it was all about Gabe who had just turned 6 months old!! He has the same gorgeous smiles as his big brothers but has his own darling personality!! And look at those eyes!!  We love watching these boys grow big and can't wait to see what our next session holds in store!!

Family Fun!

Time for a new family portrait was what prompted this family of 5 to come in to see us just before the holidays! Of course, it was a bonus for us that these three kiddos were exuding enthusiasm and fun!  And since we know that Melissa has a "thing" for hats-when they all brought out their fun, winter hats, it was the icing on the cake for this session!

Sweet Baby Henrik

Before we take a "blog-cation" for the holidays, we thought we would end 2012 with sweet portraits of Baby Henrik who was born earlier this fall!  What a handsome little baby boy!!  We felt like we already knew Henrik's parents as we have photographed so many of their extended family over the years!! It was fabulous to meet the newest member of the family. Henrik's mom brought with a beautiful blanket from his room and we jumped at the chance to have it be part of the portraits we created. He was so content and snuggly with his blanket. Henrik is super sweet! There is so much happiness in celebrating new life. We are so excited to be a part of his as he grows, sits, babbles and walks and talks, capturing each amazing milestone. Enjoy your families this holiday as we enjoy ours! We will return to the blog in the new year and until then we wish everyone a happy and health holiday!

Connor - Class of 2013

Connor is another one of our great high school seniors who we photographed late this past summer!  We have been photographing Connor's family for the past couple of years so it was great to already have that relationship with him when it came time for his senior session! Connor is an easy going and fun senior who put up with Melissa and I and all of our dorkiness-not to mention he was happy to go to the various locations we planned out for him.  He didn't even seem to mind the snake we encountered at one location spot!!   Good luck with your senior year, Connor!!  And we can't wait to photograph little sister Olivia in a few short years for her senior session!!
