Custom photography may cost a little bit more than going to a chain photography studio where you sit in front of a back drop and someone tries to get your child to smile…but that’s because it’s custom, it’s real. I will come into your home or we can go to a park, wherever you are most comfortable and I will spend some time getting to know your children and just take their photograph as the mood strikes me. I really want to capture who your child is and not just a phony, canned smile. Please consider this investment and allow me to capture memories for you. I would also love to capture the love of an engaged couple, a marriage in action and even a family of many generations. Please take the time to check out this site as to why custom photography costs more than a chain photography studio. It really puts into perspective what I do as a photographer and helps everything make a little more sense. Please email me if you are interested in booking a portrait session with me or if you are getting married! I’d love to help you CAPTURE some MEMORIES!

Man, life sure does go by at an alarming pace. You know that saying, “the minutes take forever but the months fly by” (or something like that) it is so true! I cannot believe that I am two months away from being married for SIX years! SIX years, that’s crazy! Totally awesome but crazy. I am also two months away from having a TWO YEAR OLD! That’s so weird. I love her to death and cannot imagine my life without her, but I have a two year old! AH! Which also means that I am two months away from having a six month old baby. Man, time really does fly. So, all this to say, that I am taking more photographs and getting more photographs printed. I’m trying to decide which ones to get on canvas as well. Life really does slip by if we’re not careful. I want to remember these moments and with my bad memory it’s best for me to rekindle those memories with photographs and stories. So I am going to try and have more mini photo shoots with my kids more often. Some of them together and some of them alone. I want to remember the little dimples, the crazy hair, the funny toes…all of it. So, without further adu here are some photographs of my little Naomi who will be two in two months! Enjoy!

I can’t believe that my little man is already four months old…okay, so he will be on Saturday. Where has the time gone. Although he’s been around for only four months it also feels like he’s been around a lot longer than that. Naomi is doing so much better with him. She loves to give him hugs and kisses and blow raspberries on his tummy. Micah is an amazing little man. He sleeps so well, nap time and bed time just come naturally and we can just lay him in his bed and a couple minutes later he’ll be asleep. He loves to hang out and smile at anyone and everyone that’s around. He is such a laid back little dude and we love it! He’s a ham for the camera and it’s amazing to me how he looks right at the lens. We had such a fun photoshoot today and he only got unhappy one time…when he was on his tummy too long. He has the little “model pout” down pat (you can see it in the last photo in this series). I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites to a managable size but here you go. My little four month old dude, Micah!

I got the honor of photographing Jake and Sophia again on Sunday and this time we threw their cousin, Grant in the mix too. The challenge this time was to get three kids to cooperate for some nice pictures for grandma. And I think I captured the kids pretty well and even got a few when they were all looking at the camera. I said, looking, not smiling! I had a great time photographing them and we had a great location too. I even got to go swimming with these three and my little Naomi after the photo shoot, it doesn’t get much better than that! Hope you like them Amy!

Clif and Julie met at Lambeau Field outside a Packer game. The day after they met I received a phone call. You see, Julie is my best friend…and she had to tell me about this guy she met. They started talking on the phone pretty regularly and soon enough they were dating. Julie helps coach softball at Concordia Wisconsin and she and the team went down to Florida for some games in March. Clif and Julie’s mom traveled on their own to Florida at the same time to spend some time there with Julie and watch some softball games. Clif also went to Florida with other intentions. On their free day they spent some time at Disneyworld and really enjoyed creating new memories. The best memory though was that evening as it was getting dark and they were starting to head home Clif took Julie by the hand and led her back to the Cinderella castle where he got down on one knee and asked Julie to spend the rest of her life with him. She said yes and as they say, the rest is history. She called me that evening to tell me the good news and then later asked me to take their engagement photos. I was so totally honored.
It’s nice to know that the people that mean the most to you appreciate and like what you do. So while, I was home on vacation Julie, Clif, Greg and I spent an evening in Sheboygan. We went to Julie’s family cottage on Lake Michigan to get some photos and then downtown Sheboygan. I had such an awesome time photographing them and could really see how much they love each other. They really know how to have a good time…and Clif’s good at taking what Julie dishes out! I am SO EXCITED to be part of their wedding in October and to see their relationship grow and blossom as a married couple. To come full circle from when they met they are having their wedding reception at Lambeau field! We can’t wait!
Thanks again Julie and Clif for the awesome evening full of laughter, good memories, awesome photographs and best friends! We can’t wait till your wedding and pray that your day will be blessed by God!
I have so many favorites from our photo shoot that I had a hard time picking which ones to post…so there are lots to look at. Which one is your favorite?
