Dear Lacy {You are Gorgeous}

Lacy is simply stunning and needed no direction!  She is a natural model and sweetheart!  Thank you Lacy for bumming around with me again!!  You Rock!!  Xo

I'm back....

After a brief vacation for organization and de-clutter I am feeling very rejuvenated!!  Spring has sprung and were ready to enjoy every moment of good weather coming our way.  Wedding season is around the corner and I have a few creative projects underway.  I have been working hard and burning every end of many candles...leaving most day's feeling like this:

May mini's start on the 16th Downtown Madison, June is booked solid on weekends and almost full for sunset session's.  July has a few opening's and fall will be here before we know it.  I am only taking 6 wedding's this year and looking forward to our first of the season only a month away.

Stay tuned for lots of good stuff !! 

Jossalyn {One year}

Jossalyn is One and so close to walking!  She showed off her standing skills along with smiles and giggles.  Thanks for another fantastic session Nelson's!

Cody + Michelle {Engagement}

For as cold as it has been lately this 30 something degree day was the perfect setting for snowy engagement pics.  Cody & Michelle were so fun to shoot as the love was radiant.  I can't wait for this June 2015 wedding!

Little 'C' #2 {Family Photographer}

The Clark's(my cousin's) just moved in to their new house a couple days before I was there for this session.  Josh and Connor also just got home from the Packer 'family night' after we got to the house.  There were a lot of new things happening and Connor wasn't sure at first what he thought of photos at the new house.  But he got to visit with his cousin's have a few M&M's and you could never tell he wasn't 100% happy and chill all the time.  He is a very sweet brother and I think these 2 will be the bestest of friends!!

He looks so different now!  This was early August.  Cooper is so adorable, I could kiss those cheeks 500x's a day!  Much love to my favorite cousin...(named Jen) and your beautiful family!

Shari Sarazin {Celtic harpist}

For anyone unfamiliar with this beautiful face behind the harp, she is Shari Sarazin Celtic harpist(www.sharisarazin.com).  Her and this gorgeous harp travel around to perform at all kinds of events, just one example my mom & Dale's reception at South shore on Castle Rock lake.  When Shari asked if I would be interested in a trade, I immediatley said YES!  She has many musical talents!  My sister was a voice student of hers (as well as other members of the community).  I remember as a young kid going to the Alaskan (Mauston, WI) on Friday nights to see her and Ed Sabey perform.  

Shari wrote the official Wisconsin state ballad from a poem written by her grand mother https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=wisconsin+state+song&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35.  She also wrote a song for my mother, sister and I from my father who passed away 11yrs ago.  She is such a kind woman with a heart of gold!!  

Our session was between 4 different locations all of which Shari found and had a vision.  I suggested sunset and the lighting was perfect!  We started out at Plymouth cemetery and my jaw dropped as we pulled up.  I am from Mauston, how did I not know this amazing structure was here!?!  To me it looks like the steeple of a church just set in a field on the hillside.  We then headed to St. Pat's cemetery for the Celtic cross and then out to the lake where the mosquito's were like baby vampires!

I had a great time at our session, helping Shari get some new images for promoting her business.  I am also very greateful for the performance at the reception.  she is extrememly talented and very personable!  I highly recommend her for wedding's and events!

We also owe a huge thank you to Melissa Hollis from the band 'Full Circle' and stylist in Baraboo, WI for helping Shari look amazing and helping me with reflectors and posing!  You ROCK and I cannot wait to work with you again!

Spring Mini's #1

The perfect way to start my first day of Mini's at Burke park!  Alayna is so sweet, Ben a funny little stinker (and I have  a sweet spot for little pistols as I have 2 at home).  Baby Joshua hardly made a peep, which was great.... then we only needed to keep Ben's attention.  The mosquito's were out in our woodsy hiding spot so we moved fast, and I even found some poison ivy while frolicking in the wildflowers...
