For My Aunt

Here is a picture of Mr. Butch my aunt and uncle's dog. My aunt asked if I could take a few pictures of him because she is not sure how much longer he is going to be around and I of course would do anything for her. So here is Butchie as Kenadie like to call him!

This is the first time I have tried to photograph a pet alone and I think pets may be harder than children-ha.

Here is the scoop

as to why I don't have any new pictures for you all to see. The weather--ha big surprise! Last night my client called and said when she stood in her back yard the water was up to her ankles and tomorrow I am suppose to travel to Cottage Grove, however, the interstate and back roads are all closed due to flooding. So sorry no new pictures to see until next week if the rain ever stops. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Today I was "THAT" Mom

So the girls and I headed to Fowler Park today to meet up with some friends and have lunch. Well my three year old decided to have a complete nutty for no apparent reason. I mean it was the screaming, kicking, yelling. and throwing herself on the ground nutty. I then counted to three she would not quit so I went to take her to a time out and she ran. Yes I ran after my screaming three year old around the park. I finally caught her and held her like a football kicking and screaming to the car. She then had her timeout in the car screaming and banging on the windows. Of course everyone was watching and I felt like the worse mom in the world that no control over my child. So anyone at the park today that witnessed this--Yes that was me!
Tonight as I am writing this she is screaming in her bed and I mean screaming. I tell you everyone says the terrible twos are hard, but I beg to differ. I find the defiant threes to be more difficult.
I hope you are all staying dry and do not have any water in your basement. While I was out today I overheard many many moms talking about how their basements had water and I just felt so bad.
Have a great rest of the week.

6 Days Old

Today I traveled to Milwaukee to photograph this sweet little baby boy. I truely feel honored when I am invited into a families life at such an important a percious time. I also had the opportunity to meet some extended family that so graciously gave up some time with sweet little James so I could photograph him. Thank you for a fun morning.

I hope everyone survived the horrible storms early today. My yard was full of hail and the girls were really freaked out. Thankfully it has stopped now and everyone is in bed!

I am in love

I am just in love with all of the images from this session. I am so glad I found this location--I love the light and variety of backgrounds. These two just cracked me up because they were so serious, but that is there personalities. I am posting quite a few simply because I cannot choose. Also I am not sure my sessions this weekend will happen if the weather keeps up like this so it may be a while before new images. Still working on the new blog--hopefully you will see it soon. Have a great day indoors!

Boys Boys Boys

In the last four days I have had four sessions and they have all been boys! No girls well other than mom, but all boys. Thanks for all the great sessions. Here is a sneak peek from Sunday's session. Mom was afraid I did not get any good ones I know, but I did. I hope to have your gallery done in the next few days. Enjoy!
