Photo Friday!

Yay! We made it to Friday. I don't know about you all out there, but I could get used to a four day work week! It has just zoomed by!

I *finally* got back on track with my 365 Project. My goal is simple, to take one picture a day for a year. Here are my photos from last week:

5.29.10
Brat Fest
A photo of my contribution to the record breaking Brat Fest on Saturday.

5.30.10
Scenic Overlook - Spring Green
Brian and I took a drive to Spring Green , and stopped a scenic overlook. Although it wasn't very scenic, and we couldn't really see anything, the bridge to get there was cool!

5.31.10
Olbrich Botanical Gardens
On Monday, Brian and I took a walk around the Olbrich Botanical Gardens.

6.1.10
Amy & Anthony + baby
A little sneak peek of my session with friends Amy and Anthony who are expecting any day now!

Golf Outing
I spent my day at a golf outing for our agents.

There you have it! Hope you all have a great weekend!

I still have 2 Wedding Planner and Guide tickets available for next Wednesday - if you know of anyone who'd like them, give me a shout!

Connor is One!

Meeting Connor and his family has been so much fun! They have purchased the "Watch Me Grow" package which includes 4 sessions - this is our third. I have photographed this little guy from newborn, to 6 month old, to big one year old! It has been so neat to watch him grow over the past few months, and I can't wait to see what he's up to at our next session, where he'll probably be cruising around and walking!

I met Connor and his family at Vilas Park near the zoo for our session. There was lots of fun places to go and see.

Without further ado - the pictures! But hold on to your hats, this little one is a cutie! :)

Mom and Dad also brought along his wagon which he just got for his first birthday!

The Murphy Family!

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!

New Product! Mini Accordion Albums!

It's looking to be a week of product sharing on my blog! I just recently received two accordion album samples in the mail, and couldn't wait to share them with you! I just love these little guys - they are absolutely perfect for purses and bags, or they can be opened up and set on a shelf. When ordering them, I have 4 different designs to choose from, two of which are shown below. They also come in packs of 3, one to keep, and two to give to grandparents. Pretty cool huh? Check em' out below!
