{Baby C} Caledonia Minnesota Baby Photographer

Baby C was absolutely adorable when he came in for a visit!  At 6 weeks new, we expected him to give us a bit of a challenge.  But he was just as sleepy and scrunchy as his newborn counterparts!  He snuggled into the soft fur and slept through most of his session.  But clearly, he comes from a very easy going family as his two older sisters were just as wonderful to photograph!  Plus, anyone who wears a bow tie and sweater for their photos gets a thumbs up in our books!  We hope to see him and his fun family as he grows up!

{Mr. & Mrs. N} Minnesota Wedding Photographer

Wow!  What a fun wedding weekend we had in Minnesota with this lovely couple!  They were so full of excitement and the day turned out very well!  Their adventurous spirits took them on a hike up above a waterfall - which lead to the stunning image above!  Then, we spent the rest of the time we had with them before their ceremony wandering around this gorgeous country property.  

Her bouquet was simply stunning!  It was a very full country style gathering, complete with sunflowers, roses, and many other lovely blooms, berries, pods, and grasses.  She definitely got her workout from carrying it around, but it made the perfect addition to her gorgeous gown!  Plus, it provided a great setting for a quick shot of their wedding bands.  

We always love getting to know a bride and groom and really get a great feel for their personalities when their wedding party is around.  This fun crew was no exception!  The guys inspired lots of laughter that day, cracking jokes every other second.  The ladies were also full of humor and good cheer.  The day went so smoothly because everyone was so open to photos and simply enjoying their time with the couple on such a big day!

Yes, you're seeing that right!  This beautiful bride is not afraid of slimy creatures and wanted to make sure she kissed her last frog before her wedding to her prince!  Her bridesmaids actually captured the little fellow with their bare hands - kudos to those daring gals!  After a few shots (including a real smooch on the frogs nose), they released him safely into the grass near the edge of the pond.  Definitely a first for us as photographers, but we loved the opportunity to catch such a fun and silly shot!

The groomsmen whisked the groom away before the ceremony in one of their favorite trucks, complete with a "burnout".  Then, after a lovely ceremony, the day concluded with a fun and relaxed reception.  We were so excited to have the chance to see this couple (who we've known for quite some time) tie the knot!  We spent some of the wedding as their photographers and some as their guests and we were so happy to be able  to join in the celebration!

{The H Sisters} La Crescent Minnesota Family Photographer

Sisters!  What a fun pairing!  They're built in best friends and it's just too cute!  These little ladies were no exception.  They were so happy and silly, it really made for a fun shoot!  At 3 and 7 years old, they were full of personality.  We really enjoyed getting to know them and their parents!  We even snuck in a few silly shots at the end of their session, but nothing beat this hug - such a beautiful moment!

{Class of 2015 Jared} La Crosse Wisconsin Senior Photographer

This guy rocked his senior shoot a few weekends ago!  He travelled all the way from Indiana and met us while his family was visiting Minnesota for his shoot at a local state park.  Not only was he super easy to work with and very comfortable in front of our camera, he also deserves an award for how calm he kept as hoards (seriously, hoards) of gnats and mosquitos mobbed him!  We were so impressed with his ability to keep his cool as we danced around like circus clowns behind the camera!  But besides the awful amount of bugs that joined us, his shoot went smoothly.  Plus, with his ambitions to join the Army, we were able to get some awesome shots representing the "Army Strong" motto!  Plus, this is the first full session that Trent did under Endless Images Photography since bringing him fully into the business and it only serves to remind us just how much we love his style!

The H Family | Winona Minnesota Family Photographer

This family was just too cute!  With a whole bunch of little ones, we had quite the fun time in Winona, MN for their session.  With all the personalities and adorable faces - we couldn't help but snap a bunch of individual shots of this brood!  The real excitement came when we brought the family's new puppy into the group.  We actually got a shot with everyone looking our way and it made it all worth while!  Plus, could these guys have picked any better outfits - they all looked so great!

Honeymooning | Wisconsin & Minnesota Photographer

What an amazing beginning of October we've had!  Not only did September bring many new clients to the studio, we also got to see a bunch of past clients as well!  So, we went into October in a daze, our minds filled with all the fun and happiness the busy days of September provided.  Then, on October 5th, I (Savanna) got married!  To add to the whirlwind, I travelled with my new husband to Duluth, MN for the few days of our honeymoon!  We had a blast taking photos together (he's also a photographer) and spending time together as newlyweds.  We found a magnificently gorgeous waterfall at the Duluth Zoo, MN.  We also visited the shores in Two Harbors, MN to admire Split Rock Lighthouse.  Now, we're back in the studio and back in the swing of things!  October is proving to be no different than September, with most of our days booked solid with shoots.  As crazy as it's getting, we aren't complaining!  We are loving the Fall!

The S Family | La Crescent Minnesota Family Photograher

What a fun time we had in La Crescent, MN for this extended family shoot!  We photographed them at their home, with a gorgeous view of the valley and an awesome red barn, complete with hay bales set up as seats!  They did a great job preparing for their shoot, setting up their barn scene and coordinating red, white, and blue outfits.  Plus, there was a very friendly shaggy dog who joined in a few shots with his core family!  It's always a blast getting to know a big group like this and photographing the happiness that is so visible a line of generations!

B & B Engagement | Onalaska Wisconsin Wedding Photographer

To be in the company of love is such a wonderful thing!  Each and every couple we meet has their own unique love story and it's so captivating to see them illustrate it in front of our lens!  B and B are a great young couple who are planning on tying the knot in the Fall of 2014.  They are both very relaxed individuals who compliment each other beautifully and have been together for quite some time.  They really enjoy being with one another which was so clear in their images.

They also have quite interesting hobbies.  He restores old Studebaker cars (featured) on the farm site they share in Minnesota.  We couldn't resist getting a shot of his current project!  They also dirt bike together, so of course, when they offered to "jump" the bike, we had to snap a few shots!  We had so much fun during their engagement session, we just can't wait to see what their wedding holds!

M & C Wedding | Minnesota Wedding Photographer

What a beautiful Minnesota day for a lovely farm wedding!  We had the honor of photographing M & C's big day and what a day it was!  With a beautifully overcast sky, complete with warm temps and no rain, their day couldn't have started any better!  The sun even came out right before their ceremony, casting it's golden afternoon light over the yard near the pasture where they were married.  With a herd of calves keeping an eye on the proceedings, their photos truly display the real life of this couple! 

  

 

  

 Bride C got ready in their home and they met outside for their first sighting of each other.  Then, it was off to the nearby pasture for a round of photos before the ceremony.  With a bouquet of gorgeous flowers, a handsome neutral toned suit, and a stunning draped dress, they were a couple full of style and love!

 

  

 After the ceremony everyone headed to another area of the farm where the couple hosted a dinner and reception.  The best man and maid of honor gave hilarious and sentimental speeches, which brought tons of laughter and a few tears of joy to the room.  The entire crowd gathered around to watch their first dance, which was extremely sweet and moving!  We had such a wonderful time capturing the memories of this happy day and wish M & C a lifetime of love!

Sneak Peek - Baby J | Onalaska Wisconsin Baby Photographer

What a handsome little man we got to photograph the day before New Year's Eve.  It was a great way to say goodbye to the old year and ring in the new!  This shoot actually happened out in Minnesota but luckily we were tucked away in a nice warm home because it was quite chilly.  Plus, did he rock that newsboy cap or what?!

I just don't know how his parents deal with this adorable face on a daily basis - he is just too cute for words!  I must admit, I may be a bit biased as he is my cousin's 6 month old son, but still!  (wink, wink)  His session flew by in a breeze because it just took a little click of the tongue to bring about the grins.  All in all, wonderful working vacation!

Sneak Peek - Sisters E & E | La Crosse Wisconsin Family Photographer

These two sisters always rock their photo shoots (we've been photographing them since Big Sister E was born)!  Big Sister E was stylish in her cute pink cap and Little Sister E was adorable in her tiny sweater dress!  They are always so fun to watch and play with when they come to the studio for a visit.  They drive all the way to La Crosse, WI from Minnesota and it's always great to get the chance to catch up with these very long-term clients!La Crosse Wisconsin Baby Photographer, Baby Photography, La Crosse Wisconsin Photographer, Onalaska Wisconsin Photographer, Holmen Wisconsin Photographer, West Salem Wisconsin Photographer, west salem WI photographer, west salem baby photographer, WI, Endless Images, Photographer La Crosse, Photographer Wisconsin, Wisconsin Photographer, Minnesota Photographer, Winona Minnesota Photogrpaher, baby photographer la crosse, baby photographer onalaska, onalaska wi baby phtoographer, la crosse wi baby photographer, la crosse wisconsin family photographer, onalaska wisconsin family photographer, wisconsin family photographer, family photographer, la crosse wisconsin photographer child, child photographer, childrens photography

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

What fun it is to travel to the cities (in Minnesota) for the chance to watch this little guy grow!  He's definitely not one of my easiest clients, but he is quite the grown-up little man.  He gets smarter every time I see him (I think he may know more than me about some stuff)!  And his parents are so wonderful, which makes our sessions super fun!  We just couldn't resist this shot and I think it might be the winner of the bunch, although, there are quite a few other fun ones too!   La Crosse Wisconsin Baby Photographer, Baby Photography, La Crosse Wisconsin Photographer, Onalaska Wisconsin Photographer, Holmen Wisconsin Photographer, West Salem Wisconsin Photographer, west salem WI photographer, west salem baby photographer, WI, Endless Images, Photographer La Crosse, Photographer Wisconsin, Wisconsin Photographer, Minnesota Photographer, Winona Minnesota Photogrpaher, baby photographer la crosse, baby photographer onalaska, onalaska wi baby phtoographer, la crosse wi baby photographer

How beautiful is a brand new family?!  This wonderful couple recently welcomed their newest family member, Baby J.  Not only are they adoring parents, their son is a wonderful little baby!  We traveled to Brooklyn Park, Minnesota to meet this little guy and it was quite a fun session!  You may remember his parents from a blog post a while back of their engagement photos.  I can't wait to watch their family grow as the years go by!   La Crosse Wisconsin Baby Photographer, Baby Photography, La Crosse Wisconsin Photographer, Onalaska Wisconsin Photographer, Holmen Wisconsin Photographer, West Salem Wisconsin Photographer, west salem WI photographer, west salem baby photographer, WI, Endless Images, Photographer La Crosse, Photographer Wisconsin, Wisconsin Photographer, Minnesota Photographer, Winona Minnesota Photogrpaher, baby photographer la crosse, baby photographer onalaska, onalaska wi baby phtoographer, la crosse wi baby photographer

The Art & The Updates | La Crosse Wisconsin Photographer

I have always had a place in my heart for successful diptych images (two images displayed side by side, cohesive in nature - as defined by me).  So, I suppose it makes sense that so many of my fine art images end up diptychs!  This one was no exception.  This was from a very short series I did a while back in which I was challenging myself to view my surroundings in black and white and all the lovely shades of gray in between.  Every now and then, I like to force myself out of my normal comfort zone for personal projects such as that.  Anyway, I think it was definitely a worthwhile way to spend a 6 hour drive (to and from) and a weekend in the Minnesota cities!

Speaking of artwork, I'm very proud to announce that I am officially an award winning, internationally published photographer!  That is a wonderfully fulfilling accomplishment for myself and my business.  For at least a year or so now, I've been able to hold the official title of award winning, published photographer, but, recently, one of my images was published in a British territory near Spain, allowing me the amazing opportunity of adding "international" to the title!  And, as if that wasn't exciting enough, the image was of the La Crosse's own Riverside Park eagle statue that's featured here!  Needless to say, this photographer is having a wonderfully happy 2012 so far!

One last note, as I've been doing for some time now, I'm still teaching photography courses (and, hopefully expanding with a few new courses in the Fall) at Western Technical College, through their Lifelong Learning program.  If you're interested in taking some of these courses, visit their website and look for the instructor named Westbrook (that's me)!  Hope to see you there!

Sneak Peek - Baby E | Minnesota Baby Photographer

What stunning eyes this little lady has!  Baby E just turned the big O-N-E and was all dressed up for her photos in a gorgeous pink Easter dress!  But, with a her party taking place earlier that day, she was just a bit worn out by the time her session rolled around.  She gave me about half and hour, in which we got a surprising amount of photos, but after that, she made it very clear that she was done for the day!  When it comes to little ones, they're definitely the boss!     La Crosse Wisconsin Baby Photographer, Baby Photography, La Crosse Wisconsin Photographer, Onalaska Wisconsin Photographer, Holmen Wisconsin Photographer, West Salem Wisconsin Photographer, WI, Endless Images, Photographer La Crosse, Photographer Wisconsin, Wisconsin Photographer, Minnesota Photographer, Winona Minnesota Photogrpaher, baby photographer la crosse, baby photographer onalaska, onalaska wi baby phtoographer, la crosse wi baby photographer

Sneak Peek - La Crosse Wisconsin Baby Photographer

This little chunker was sick during his session but still managed to give us a bunch of big smiles, adorable glances, and cute poses!  He was definitely a trooper!  His mom brought him over to visit us from Minnesota so it was quite a treat for us!  Plus, who can resist a chubby little baby and an adorable baby bum?!  I absolutely love simplicity in my photography, allowing the true personality and true emotion to show in am image.  I enjoy utilizing reflections to capture a little something extra, that different view, in a scene, without distracting from the true "point" of the image.  Plus, it's always a bonus when your subject is this handsome!La Crosse Wisconsin Baby Photographer, Baby Photography, La Crosse Wisconsin Photographer, Onalaska Wisconsin Photographer, Holmen Wisconsin Photographer, West Salem Wisconsin Photographer, WI, Endless Images, Photographer La Crosse, Photographer Wisconsin, Wisconsin Photographer, Minnesota Photographer, Winona Minnesota Photogrpaher

Sneak Peek - Baby E | Minnesota Baby Photographer

Wow!  The flexibility Baby E has was awesome!  These little hands weren't just holding that little foot; those little toes were in that mouth just a split second later!  It was so much fun to watch her play with the most convenient toy - her own feet!  And she was perfectly happy doing so!  I wonder what I could do if I had that kind of flexibility?  I could be an acrobat photographer!  Plus, look at the gorgeous baby blues on this little lady!  I photographed her sister a while back when she was about this age (9 months) and she had the same lovely eyes - just gorgeous!  We have one more session to go before Baby E (and her parents) complete our Baby Steps Program.  We've had so much fun together, but I always get a bit sad when these little EIP VIPs turn one and don't visit me quite as much!  I get so connected to them as they grow up in front of my lens - what an amazing experience!

Sneak Peek - Little O | Minnesota Child Photographer

Look at the giant smile on this little guys face!  We actually travelled to Minnesota the other weekend for a few photo shoots; Little O and his family were on the agenda!  He's actually from Texas, they were just up visiting Minnesota, and his older siblings live in Ecuador, but they were also visiting Minnesota.  It was a great opportunity to get all the brothers and sisters together for photos!  I'm sure the excitement of having his big brother and big sisters with him inspired this awesome smile!

Sneak Peek - Baby E | Lonsdale Minnesota Baby Photographer

We had a little Pebbles (from the Flintstones) look-alike visit us the other day!  And she was full of smiles and giggles and wiggly legs!  She's six months now and we photographed her when she was a newborn and at three months too.  We also have been photographing her sister since she was a newborn - it's been so much fun watching them grow!  I absolutely love our Baby Steps plan for this very reason!

Sneak Peek - The S Family | Owatonna Minnesota Family Photographer

I love how beautiful this park is!  It's like this family stepped into a scene straight from a storybook, complete with a babbling brook, a looming old tree, and a narrow, winding walking bridge.  It's simply whimsical!  This type of image is so fun to create because it's not just a portrait, it's an art piece that can be hung in a family room for years to come.  It's not full of fads that'll be out of style shortly, but instead, full of nature and beauty and the love of a family, which never goes out of style!
