Little Miss Lauren

For starters, this is the happiest little baby you will ever lay eyes on. She has the biggest little grin, and smiles from ear to ear. I LOVE that. :) I first met Lauren’s mum crystal mat a wedding this fall. She was one of the bridesmaids. She later asked me to capture her daughter Lauren. And boy was it a treat. Enjoy!

The Heying Family

Mom and Dad, definitely have their hands full. They are blessed with a two year old delight named Rowan, and three adorable little boys, whom happen to be triplets! Mom is definitely out-numbered here, a lot of testosterone in this household :) The babies were so good, they are truly blessed to have such great babies. They hardly fussed during out whole shoot.  Happy Holidays, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Fit For A Princess

I first met Lucy’s daddy Shawn while in college at Drake. After college, Shawn and Ericca asked me to do their engagement pictures and wedding, and now I’m photographing their first child, little miss Lucy. And let me tell you, she is a dandy. Adorable as ever, and I personally think a mix of both mom and dad, not favoring one or the other. The perfect little baby. I just wanted to wrap her up and snuggle her forever. They traveled all the way from Milwaukee just so I could photograph their little angel, and what a pleasure it was! Enjoy

Amie’s boudoir session

Amie put a lot of thought into her session, with little touches to include that would mean something special to her man. She is a really sweet girl, and we had a blast taking these sexy pics for her hubby. :)
