Aidyn|7 weeks

since the cutie patootie Aidyn didn't want to have his pictures taken at 4 weeks, and i was heading over to Oshkosh to photograph Piper AND Aidyn literally lives right behind Piper, I shot another mini session for him.  this time around, he was a little more interested in having his picture taken.  perhaps it was the super sweet props his momma put together, the fact we were in his own home this time, or the stuffed fish his gramma gifted his big sis + him.  either way, he made me fall in love with him all over again and despite our session being mini, he managed to produce some majorly cute shots.  Kenna would've LOVED for the session to turn into her very own again, however; he was definitely the star this day.

The Wissbroecker's|Family Session

 Meet Tim, Candice, + Noah Wissbroecker!  They are a super fun on-the-go family that is resilient, loving, and committed to one-another.  Noah was a little shy at first, but we managed to sneak a few nice shots out of the morning session.  Here are a few of my favorites from their mini-session!

Rhyner|Family Session

I was pleased to get to hang out with Chase + his big cousin Parker again during my Bunny + Chick Easter sessions.  Not only are these little men to die for, but their momma's are absolutely a blast.  They decided to do pictures of the boys together, individually, and then some with momma's and son's....Grandma even came over for the session!!  Super cool!  Also, we did a few of Chase with his parents, and a quick shot or two of his adorable mom, Breanna, and dad, Jeremy, to round out the session.  I am pleased to say that I am shooting Chase's 1 year session in a few days and cannot wait to see how much he's grown!

Amber+Brandon|Maternity Session

May 1st brought me to Oshkosh, WI to photograph Amber + Brandon's maternity session.  

I haven't been to Oshkosh since their 2009 wedding {their anniversary is the day after mine and they got married the year after my husband and I did}.......I had the pleasure of seeing their new house for the first time, meeting Princess + Polo {their fur babies|cat}, and enjoying a delcious home cooked lunch....I must say, it was WELL worth the trip!!  Amber + Brandon have already committed to a :twinkle toes: package for their little one, as well as choosing me to be in the delivery room for the birth of their first child.  I could not be more honored to be there when they find out BOY or GIRL!!  Watch for LOTS of updated pictures of their family throughout the next year!



{Parker+Mommy|Family+Toddler Session}

4 year old Parker & his momma Brooke had a photography adventure with me last Saturday.  we were lucky enough to have a somewhat tolerable day to do some pics of the both of them in their snowmobile jackets.  if only it weren't windy, our day might've been perfect outside.  after we had enough shots of the wind, we headed downtown to search out some indoor locations to use.  and i would say we had a significant amount of luck and a little bit of fun finishing up our morning.  Parker is coming along to his cousin Chase's {from the earlier post} bunny+chick Easter session in a few weeks.  these two little cuties are sure to have a blast with the ducklings, chicks, and bunnies.  i cannot wait to photograph them together =)  i sincerely hope that Parker steals your heart like he stole mine, and by the way....his mom is pretty alright too!

{Shari+Holly-Continued}

here's to hoping technology is on  my side tonight.  and that you aren't sick of me after i get everything all caught up.  here are a few more of my favorites from Shari + Holly's session with me.

{Shari+Holly|Family Session}

Due to technical difficulties {ie blogger/internet not cooperating} here is a mini-post of Shari + Holly's Valentine's Day mother/daugher session.  I <3 these girls, they are witty, hilarious, and lets just say we get each other.  Watch for a full post when technology decides to like me again.

{Ashley+Luke=Devin|Family Session}

as i said earlier, ashley + luke are one of my 2011 weddings and their engagement session {which was a TON of fun} was a combination of a family session and a toddler session as well.  prior to heading into the city to shoot the majority of their engagement photos, we met up at Ashley's mom's house to do a few e-photos, and all of their family pictures and some of Devin too.  We had great weather {although it could've been a little warmer} and a great lighting for their session.  Here are a few favorites from my time with them.
