Waiting for baby-Green Bay maternity photographer

I was so excited when these sweet family came for a maternity session. It was so fun to capture a part of their lives that is so full of anticipation, excitement and love. They are the sweetest family and I had so much fun with them.







Keep posted for pictures of their newest addition I photographed a few days ago!

i ♥ faces--texture

This week at I ♥ Faces, the theme is "texture." I've been having fun adding textures to my photos. Here is a cute one of my nephew from this shoot.


Head on over to I ♥ faces for more great photos.

First newborn shoot!

I was so excited when this adorable baby's mom called me to do newborn pictures for her. I have been wanting to try some newborn photos for a while, but since there are only so many babies around, and they are only newborn for such a short time, I haven't had the chance...until now.

I was all prepared with lots of props and ideas to take some sweet, sleeping newborn photos. Only thing is, she was so excited by what was going on, that she refused to sleep. So, instead, we got some beautiful pictures, of the most content, wide-eyed newborn I have ever met. She was amazingly calm, and I had so much fun spending a few hours with her and her family. Isn't she precious?

one year!

This is my nephew Cooper who just turned one. Isn't he handsome? I can't get enough of him...

I ♥ Faces {blue}

I finally decided to enter I ♥ Faces weekly photo contest. This week the theme is "blue" and since Kade has these amazing blue eyes (that keep me from staying mad at him for long), I knew this was the perfect shot to enter.

Go on over to I ♥ Faces to check out more blue entries!

impromptu

So, I'm taking another photography class, so I've been carrying my camera and reflector around everywhere trying to complete my assignments. The light was finally perfect last week while walking around the zoo, so I made my friend Kim be my impromptu subject. (It's a good thing she always looks this amazing, even while walking around the zoo). Then, we got a few photos of her baby boy. He was happy and slobbery, which made for some great shots!

Baby Brynn

While visiting my family in Utah, I was lucky enough to have a quick photo session with this little angel. She was 6 weeks old and past the tiny, squishy newborn phase, but we were still able to get some nice shots, especially after she fell asleep. Her big brother Mason wanted his picture taken in all the same poses as his new baby sister. He is so fun and a great big brother. Their mom, (who happens to be my cousin's wife) said she wasn't photo-ready, but some of my favorite pics are the ones with her and Brynn together. Let me know what you think!
















This was my first newborn photo shoot, and I certainly learned a lot. Hopefully I'll get the chance soon to photograph another newborn so I can try to apply those things and keep getting better!
