Family ~ Legan

It was such a great opportunity to work with this extended family!  I've never worked with a group this size before, and I was a little bit nervous, especially knowing there would be six children all under five years old! But the kids did a wonderful job staying in a good mood!  Smiles from the little ones were a bit hard to come by at times, but I think the overall family photos turned out pretty nice.   Beckman Mill in Beloit, Wisconsin, was a beautiful setting, on a gorgeous sunny morning.  Doesn't everyone look great in their shades and patterns of blue and white?





After the extended family shots, we had requests for individual families to be photographed.  Once again, the mill offered a wonderful variety of places to pose.  The waterfall was so sparkly, that bridge has great lines, and the historic buildings have so much character. 



 











 I hope I have the opportunity to do some photos at this location again sometime.  I also very much appreciate Alie giving me a call to set this up, and organizing the large group to get together that day.  I learned so much from the experience, and I thank you for that very much!

Find me at my Facebook page to message me about family or senior portraits at this location or elsewhere.  I'd love to work with you!

Big Brother Meets Baby

A few weeks ago, I was honored to be asked to capture this special moment for my friend's sweet family.  I told my friend Jana that I was worried I'd be gone for Spring Break and miss the occasion, but I'd be there if I could.  Luckily, little Jordy decided to make his appearance sooner than expected. It was heartwarming to watch the interactions between big brother Jake and his baby brother, and document the story as it happened.  Being able to capture first family photos was a complete privilege!  Congratulations, Jana and Josh!

I waited out front for Jake and Dad to arrive, and I followed them in to find Mommy's room.



Time for snuggles with Mommy before meeting Baby Jordy
Jake went with Mom and Dad to the nursery to get the baby.
He was very interested! 


I just love his "Big Bro" shirt his mommy ordered for him!




Jake was pretty interested in his new trains, too. 

See?  He kept those trains close :)




Your little family is the sweetest.  Best wishes to you all!
