What a stunningly perfect summer evening! All week, including the day of our session, it threatened stormy weather and rain. The evening of our photos turned out perfectly windy to keep the summer bugs away, warm, with a gorgeous sunset to top it off. This session was such a sweet gift from Wali’s sister, as […]

“Babies are like little suns that, in a magical way, bring warmth, happiness and light into our lives. – By Kartini Diapari-Oengider” Oh, baby Lydia! What a treat to meet this little one. She was three weeks old during our session and determined not to miss a moment. Can you believe those gorgeous eyes? What […]

What a stunningly beautiful day! I recently had the pleasure of capturing some family portraits for my sweet friend, Niki and Chivas, before their Wisconsin wedding reception. They married this summer, near their home in Indiana. But, because they have family both there and here, they celebrated with love and family in both places! A […]

These kiddos were just amazing! This was one of those gorgeous early summer evenings, and it was so, so windy. Being Wisconsin, it started to get a bit chilly fast, despite the June date. The kids stayed up past their regular bedtime to play in the sunset and clouds. They ran with kites, played in […]

I love summer. I love late summer nights, crickets, stars, and the seemingly endless array of fun things to do with your kiddos in the Madison summertime. When I met up with Colleen and Jesse and their adorable little ones at the park after dinner on a stunningly beautiful night, we had so much fun! […]

Oh Summer! Full of flowers and time spent traveling and time with family. I had this pretty flower crown from an anniversary shoot I did for me with another photographer (made by Naly’s Floral Shop on the northside). I stuck it in the fridge overnight and let the kids go to town with it the […]

This sweet baby will be here so soon! And Ray is going to be such an incredible big brother. I had the pleasure of meeting fellow photographer, Aliza, and her adorable family, Joel and Ray in the arboretum just before the magnolia blossoms finished for the season. I love maternity sessions so much, especially with […]

This little bridge near the bike path is one of my favorite little hidden gems of the east side. There are often little ducks and boats, the architecture is pretty, you can sometimes hear people playing music, and it’s so close to the bike path and Willy St. It’s such a snapshot of this side […]

Oh, sweet baby! Welcome to the spinning world! Newborn sessions are just a delight, especially with babies, toddlers and families as lovely as this. Little Nola was only 7 days old at our session and slept like a dream. She stopped for nursing and fell right back to sleep each time. What an absolutely perfect […]

These sweet kiddos have had such a warm, family filled spring! This time with a visit from their grandparents on their mama’s side. I got to photograph Kira, JoAnn, Dave and her sweet littles in the magnolias when they were at their beautiful peak bloom. We had a tea party with Mimi and Papa and […]
