Sneak Peek - The M Family | La Crosse Wisconsin Family Photographer

What a silly bunch we had stop by today!  If you can't already see from this portrait, they were quite the fun loving family!  I think I ended up with a little side stitch after this session!  Their silly faces were spot on - don't you think?!  It's always so nice to work with a good family (which I've met so many this year) and it really is a joy to create portraits that are gorgeous AND fun, all at the same time!  If an image shows some personality, it's a good image, so that's partly our goal with each and every session.  Personality in this one?  Check!

Sneak Peek - B & J Engagement | La Crosse Wisconsin Engagement Photographer

I just love engagement shoots!  They're so fun, free, and full of love!  It's always so great to work with a couple who truly enjoy being with one another and it always shows so clearly in the images!  Plus, we get to get really creative and a bit silly at times in finding ways to show off their feelings! 

Sneak Peek - B & J Engagement | La Crosse Wisconsin Engagement Photographer

What a wonderful day we had today with this couple!  We photographed an expo for 95.7 The Rock, then took off to meet with B & J, a couple who just booked a wedding with us.  They were so fun to work with - relaxed with a sense of humor, it was great!  The sky was slightly overcast, the temps were higher than they'd been all week, and the outfits they choose matched beautifully with the woodsy feel of late Fall.  It was kind of like a photographer's dream come true!  Other than all the awesome photos we got, I had a bit of a crazy afternoon!  I realized when I got to my studio that I had forgotten all my camera cards at home with my laptop.  Then, I got done shooting the expo and realized that I didn't bring along my socks for the boots I had to change into.  I think my memory is slipping!  But, nonetheless, things ended up working out and it was a quite a fun day/evening!

Sneak Peek - Baby G | La Crosse Wisconsin Baby Photographer

Look at the stunning eyes on this little guy!  And that tiny Gerber-like smile!  He was so fun to have in front of the camera.  He's just the pudgiest little guy who, I quickly discovered, loves to be talked to!  This is his second shoot so far, in the series of 5 shoots (he's following our Baby Steps Plan) and we're having a blast with him!  Lately, we've been so blessed to have all these wonderful clients in our studio, filling it with laughter, silly faces, and tons of joy.  And we're not even done with the year yet!

Sneak Peek - Baby S | West Salem Wisconsin Baby Photographer

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (at least in our studio photos)!  Christmas is my favorite time of year (other than the icy coldness) and I love creating holiday photos too!  This little one is quite thrilled to be in one of our scenes this year, though, we did have to bribe her with an ornament for her to hold (luckily, she's keeping it hidden)!  It's getting close to the cut-off time to get those holiday photos done and have those cards ordered, stamped, and ready to mail - so hurry, hurry, hurry and book if you haven't done so yet before time runs out!  It might seem a bit early but Christmas is on it's way and we can't wait! 

Sneak Peek - E & S Wedding | La Crosse Wisconsin Wedding Photographer

This is a little diptych from one of our last weddings of 2011 (besides one or two in November & December).  They were such a lovely couple and their outdoor shots were gorgeous, especially with the gorgeous Fall colors they choose.  But the intimate moment between E & S during their first dance was so sweet!  They're such a great couple and seem to have such a wonderful bond - their love is quite obvious!  As busy as weddings keep us, being able to work with amazing couples at gorgeous wedding full of love makes it all worth it!

The Calendar Shoots - Ms. A | La Crosse Wisconsin Commercial Photographer

A while back we did a bunch of shoots for 95.7 The Rock's annual charity calendar to benefit The Rock Foundation.  It was such a blast!  We worked with an awesome group of lovely models and got to shoot at a bunch of fun places!  It was really a neat experience and a great way to utilize the skills we don't get to use as much with the kiddos and such - our senior photography skills came in much more handy for this type of assignment!  This one has kind of a funny story with it - I locked my keys in the car right before the shoot and had only grabbed my camera plus one flash before closing the door so we were getting creative!  I think I should lock away more of my equipment every day!  Kidding, luckily I grabbed what I really wanted to use anyway, but it was a bit of an adventure!  =)  Anyway, we'll slowly be putting up some of the best images, including a bunch of the ones featured in the calendar.  This was from the first of 12 shoots (when it was still warm enough to stand in the water) and we can't wait to share more as time goes on!

Sneak Peek - The B Sisters | Onalaska Wisconsin Child Photographer

It was a warm Fall day in the park when these little ladies went to play!  Running here, running there, running everywhere - that was the official park activity!  But there was lovely warm sunshine hitting the golden leaves, creating the happiest fall look.  Plus, the giggles can almost be heard through the photo!  Throwing leaves way up over your head is always fun and we definitely took advantage of the opportunity this day!
