wee babe | madison, wi newborn photographer

You might recall the ridiculously pretty little newbie in this sneak peek? The one who made my momma soul sing and plead? Well, prepare yourself for an onslaught of sweetness from the irresistible Miss Lillian. The incredible energy and deliciousness she exudes in the following images are NOT for the faint of heart. Just ask her bursting-with-pride parents, Anne & Kaveh. Those luckies get to have her every single day!

Am I ever looking forward to watching your amazing daughter grow, you guys. Thanks so much for inviting me in.

In a hat her mommy made. Love that color!

Those wrinkles! Swoon.

Lillian’s nursery and bedding is just the loveliest. I do believe I’ll move right in. ;)

The love and adoration rolls off them in waves, I tell you.

Yep, those eyes are AMAZING. I know.

Can’t decide if I prefer this shot more in color or black & white. What say you?

Speaking of gorgeous eyes…holy cats! And little Lillian is swaddled in the beloved blanket her momma used as a child. Love that whole full circle thing.

Will she like the cocoon snuggler? Maybe? Aaaaaand…it’s a wrap. She was such a trooper!

new smile | madison, wi children’s photographer

My 11-year-old daughter Avery got braces last week and I finally cornered her today to get a shot of the sweet new look. I keep telling the doubtful child how ADORABLE and grown-up she looks, but I know she thinks I’m just speaking Momma to her. It’s true, though…is she not the CUTEST? The fact that her dad and I won’t retire until we’re 74 is beside the point.

special visitor | madison, wi family photographer

Allow yourself to go back in time, won’t you? Imagine it’s the Christmas season (I know, in real life robins are chirping and tulips are popping up…just go with me here) and you are invited to join a lovely family as they celebrate the holiday together. Brie, the gorgeous momma, has mysteriously received word that Santa Claus himself will be stopping by for a visit and would love the excitement and hoopla photographically recorded to enjoy forevermore. You eagerly agree to join in the festivities, even though the wind and ice are whooping it up, Wisconsin-style. You have a beautiful, magical, hilariously grand time and are forever grateful you were included in the awesomeness. The end.

Wasn’t that a fantastic and highly-entertaining story? No? You say you’re tired of dealing with winter? Oh. Well, maybe these pritty pitchers will help.

Nori, Neav (you may have seen her here) and Fionn…

3 incredibly cute sisters in the backseat of the COOLEST old car EVER. Their dad, Sam, was driving (and is equally cool, by the way).


For you Zoe fans out there, meet Jezebel…her sister! She gets to live with this incredible family and steals the hearts of all who meet her.

Here’s where Brie and I hopped out of the car and our nose hairs immediately froze. She hides it well, don’t you think?

Yay! Back to the warmth of their inviting, spectacular home. LOVE the shirts Brie got for her girlies.

And suddenly…CHAOS and AMAZEMENT as the big guy arrives!

You’re never too young or too old to sit on Santa’s lap. Even if you are screaming because you want more milk.

One last sweet hug and even a little wave for me. So what if I shouted, “BYE SANTA! BYE! BYE!” in a high-pitched squeal? I’m only human.

Watching the sky for a sleigh and reindeer.

The whole gang. And the little ladies with their beloved grandpa.

Fionn sneaking some sprinkles and Miss Jezebel. Yep, I know…that underbite is a killer.

The four cousins. How adorable is that “0″ shirt? And the stretch is pretty dang cute, too.

And finally…all tuckered out from a very big day. Whew!

if you think THAT’s a resemblance…

I’ve gotten lots of comments from people about how much I look like my grandma in yesterday’s post. I do see the resemblance a little, but what honestly freaks me out sometimes is looking at old photos of my late, sweet mom. My children actually become quite confused when they see “their” momma in an old-timey photo with a much-younger Grandpa Bruce. Ha!

I know there are better shots than this one buried somewhere, but this will have to do for now. Try your best to see past the awesome hairdo and smokin’ hot minidress and I promise to dig up some other ones soon.
