Lately. | Personal | Sheboygan Wedding & Portrait Photographer

well, howdy!

I know, things have been pretty quiet on the blog lately.

life has been pretty crazy lately.

and honestly...I can't believe...IT'S NOVEMBER.

seriously...where did the year go?

I feel like I say that every year.

but every year I feel like time gets a little bit faster :(

sometimes I want to just freeze time for a hot minute and never have to move forward

the best part is that lately its been like 60* outside.

amazing.

having these temps this time of year...makes me really not want the winter to come. 

I like mid-50's & 60's :)

so, in reality this post is really just me checking in...

to let y'all know that I have some awesome posts coming up

because I have had some of the most amazing couples & families to take photos of over the past few months :D 

anndddd I am SOOO excited for 2012!

so many possibilities and opportunities!

I seriously cannot wait to see where and what this next year brings :)

check back soon for some wedding, engagement, and family goodness!

The "S" Family | Sheboygan Family & Child Portrait Photographer

happy Monday :)

what a fantastic weekend

I hope everyone had as good of weekend as I did!

this weekend was actually really relaxing

I got to spend time with Mike & take photos of some of the most adorable kids!

it was also nice to have a weekend to gear up for the craziness that is about to happen over the next 3 months…

10 weddings (2 that we are guests at and 8 that I am photographing!!)

2 road trips…one to visit Kelly & shoot a wedding (MINNESOTA…get ready!!) and the other to attend a wedding (OHIO here we come!!!)

a few engagement sessions

a few more family sessions

and rolling out my new senior rep program!

ANNNDDDDD going on our honeymoon!!!

…ps…those of you in Punta Cana need a photog?!

I’d love to book a session or two while we are down there ;)

yea, yea I know…a honeymoon is for relaxing :D

what if photography is relaxing!? Hehe

anyway…now, onto the cute-ness

saturday evening I spent a couple hours with my friend Sara’s kids

side note…I am not kidding when I say my friend’s have the most photogenic kids...EVER.

I love it :D

these 3 girls were ECSTATIC about getting their photos taken

(so ecstatic that rumor has it, they keep asking when I will be back ;) )

there is nothing in the world that makes my job easier than when people are excited about getting photos taken

they had 2 different coordinating outfits and were full of dance moves, silly faces, and laughter.

so we played in their backyard and in a couple of the fields by their house.

it was great!

I love the energy that kids have

Meet Claire, Abby & Sophia

believing | Personal | Wisconsin Wedding & Portrait Photographer

"don't stop believing,

hold onto that feelin'"

-journey

that is one of my favorite songs :)

 

I have a lengthy blog post that I had wanted to post.

but...its just not "time" for it yet.

its nothing bad...more so just me venting about a conversation that I had the other day

it sort of rattled my cage...made me mad, but also really forced me to delve in and gear up for next year (and the years to come) with this little business of mine

it's going places, believe-you-me 

:)

in friday's post i'm going to have an mega-uber-sweet deal for familes, couples & anyone else in need of some "just beacuse" photos :) 

and 2013 seniors...get ready...I have some deals for you too!

I can't wait :D

and because no post is good without a photo....

this little trinket has been with me to ALL of my shoots this year :)

meet my good luck charm

courtesy of one of my good friends :)

because everyone needs to know that they have someone with them believing in them at all times

enjoy your thursday :D

oooohhhh.....and ps... do something that makes you smile today :)

because it's my birthday and I call the shots today ;)

L | Portraits in the Park | Sheboygan Child & Family Photography

happy Monday!

or as happy as Mondays can be :)

today I have little "L" on the blog!

I met up with L and her mom Jackie a couple weeks ago for a portraits in the park session!

these sessions are SO much fun for me!

L's mom and I went to high school together, so it was great to meet up with her and catch up on the past 8 years!

L has tons of energy and was super excited to get her photos taken.

and she was dressed super cute...this girl has style for being 3

sandals, skinny jeans, black shirt, and a cute hair bow

 she is so cute :)

 "cheeseburger" haha...makes kiddos laugh every time :)

 she was spinning and showing me her hair clip

Jackie & L,

The "H" Family | Portraits in the Park | Sheboygan Family & Portrait Photographer

today I have the "H" family on the blog

I apparently have a lot of friends with "H" last names...weird.

anyway, last weekend I met up with Mary, Mark and their twin boys!

it was so much fun!

I graduated high school with Mary...and probably haven't seen her since then!

so it was great to reconnect with her, meet her hubby and her boys!

these two boys are SOOOOO full of energy. 

it was great!

at first they weren't so sure about getting their pictures taken...but it didn't take long for them to warm up to the camera 

take a look at a few of their photos below!

 you can't see me!

 he's a transformer. clearly ;)

 making sure the family is clean is a big job. so is telling stories :)

 the photo above and below are my favs :) shows how trying to make everyone look at the camera at the same time can be...tricky ;)

 Mary, Mark & boys

thank you for letting me capture some fun photos of the 4 of you! I had a great time playing the the park!

the "H" family | Portraits | Sheboygan Portrait & Wedding Photographer

with all of the hustle and bustle of the days, weeks, and months it is so easy to forget how much fun a morning running around the beach with a 5- and 3-year-old can be

these two girls have SO. MUCH. ENERGY.

and laughs.

and smiles.

and cute-photo-faces.

its nice to set aside the hustle and bustle of the day and live vicariously through the eyes of a child.

oh to be 5 again :)

no formal photos, no turn-and-smile, no work and only play

just splashing around,

jumping around,

crawling, 

and making silly faces.

enjoy :)

 a morning bike ride with grandpa before heading down to the lake

 smiles and pirate faces ;)

 dancing down the beach

 sister secrets are the best

 I bet I can splash you!

 favorite!!
