Heller Family

I met the Heller family at their home on the south side of Madison. It was a great fall day, and as you can see, the leaves were just gorgeous! It also helped to plop this adorable little kid in the middle of them!


Now, this little guy's mom told me that he loves paper... so the next best thing outside was a leaf! I love this look in his eyes like "Mom should I eat this? Because it tastes really bad!"

Mauer Family

My husband and I have known the Mauers in one way or another for many years, so I was delighted to have the chance to take pictures of their new little family!  This little guy is a cutie, and I’m having a hard time picking out which photos to share!  I mean, come on, check out this little tie and vest outfit - its adorable! Below are a few of my favorites!

Steve - Class of 2009

I met Steven at his home one crisp beautiful November morning.  A future 2009 graduate, I had a great time getting to know him and his family!  Steve is a great young man with a bright future in the US Marines.  We started his shoot out in the backyard with his acoustic guitar and cowboy wear.  Here are some of my favorites.  The bright morning sun gave us some beautiful drama in some of these shots.

The Lange Family

I met the Lange Family on a beautiful October Afternoon.  It was unusually hot, in the 80’s to be exact, and Tenney Park made the perfect fall backdrop.  I had a great time getting to know everyone, and they were a fun family to work with, open to whatever ideas I had (aka a photographers dream!). You might recognize Barry and Ashley,  I shot their engagement photos a few weeks back, and will be doing their wedding in May 2009.  I’m glad I’ll get to see this family again!  Below are a few of my favorites from the shoot! 

Kate & Nate are Engaged!

I have known Kate and Nate for a few years now, and when I heard they were engaged, I was ecstatic!  When Kate asked me to be their photographer, I was honored!  It is such a pleasure to work with these two, and they are one of those couples that just being around them is a treat!  It is obvious from their pictures that they are in love with each other, such a deep, spiritual love, that some of these snap shots just take my breath away!  Thanks Kate & Nate for letting me be a part of your lives and your special day!  I can’t wait for June! I hope you enjoy your pictures! Below are a few of my favorites from the afternoon.

Logan

I met this handsome young man at McKee Farms Park for an morning of fun!  The playground was incredible, with all of these fun levels, slides, and equipment... and he can move!  Below are a few of my favorites from the shoot, although I have to admit it was hard to choose.  Thanks to Rachelle for letting me take pictures - I had a blast!

This photo was toward the end of the shoot.... I like to call it "How you know it's time the photographer go home!"

Logan had the best going down the slide face!

Kasia

These photos are for my co-worker and friend, Kasia.  She is looking to do  some modeling on the side and needed some photos for her portfolio.  This past Saturday afternoon, we set out to take as many photos in as many places as possible, and I think it was a success!  Thanks Kasia for a great afternoon, and good luck with your future modeling career!
