Handschke Family

From the moment I saw this family dressed in these fabulously bright and fun colors, I knew it was going to be a great session! The Handschke Family was referred to me by my dear friend and client Sarah Kooiman (check out her blog!). We held our session at the Memorial Union Terrace downtown Madison in the beautiful setting sun. Check out a few of my favorites!

Seriously, that little pink hat is too cute!

Love these two, they just say "summer" don't they?

It took a little running around and a magical Dora microphone but we got little sister to smile!

Mom brought along lots of cute outfits, including these little shirts!

How can you not giggle when you look at this one?

To the Handschke Family, thank you so much for a great session, and a special thanks to Grandma and her special gum for keeping everyone entertained! :)

Kaebisch Family

I met the Kaebisch Family on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Oschner Park in Baraboo. This is the second time I've had the opportunity to photograph this family, and it is always a pleasure to see clients again. I couldn't believe how much their little boy had grown since the last time I saw him!

We started our session down by the River Walk, and this beautiful old bridge.

Aren't these two just adorable!

Ok, get ready for it, these two are going to melt your heart!

Wait for it....

See, I told you!

More adorable ahead...

How sweet!

We then spent a little time playing at the park. This is my favorite time of a family session - capturing everyone having fun with one another. I think these photos will be even more precious in a few years...

Help me rhonda. He is just too cute!

:)

Thanks guys for a great afternoon and your flexibility! I look forward to seeing you again!

The Murphy Family!

I met the Murphy family on a cloudy and windy, but nice spring day. We managed to escape the winds in the trees of the UW Arboretum for a few photos with mom and dad and their three beautiful girls. They were so much fun and easy going that they made my job easy!

Mom had actually won this session at a silent auction almost a year and a half ago now, and we finally matched our schedules up - and I'm so glad I finally got to meet everyone! Check out some of my favorites below!

These girls just love their baby sister!

And it's no wonder! She is such a cutie!

These girls are just beautiful! :)

Thank you everyone for a great afternoon! You guys were so much fun! :)

Albers Family

Last Sunday I had the fantastic opportunity to hang out with the Albers Family! Peyton has just celebrated his second birthday complete with a school bus cake - how cute! He did such a great job at our session, and as you will see, with big smiles and giggles all around. Peyton even helped me out and took a few pictures of his mommy and daddy for me. If he keeps up the good work I might just have a new assistant :)

I have known the Albers family in one way or another for about 5 years now, so it is always a treat when I get to see them and hang out for a morning!

Friends and family, to sign the guest book and view the rest of the images, click here.

Now onto the photos!

Please note the super awesome Lighting McQueen shoes - and these don't come in adult sizes why?!? I know Brian would buy a pair in a heartbeat!

I couldn't decide which one I liked better between these two, so you get to see both!

Now everyone is in on the tickling!

New favorite! Don't you just love his little jacket?

Here is a shot that Peyton helped me take - good composition, now we'll just work on getting everyone's head in the pictures! But not bad :)

Thanks guys for a great morning! I had a blast with you and Peyton!
