I did recently have the opportunity to photograph a lovely young high school senior and wanted to share. Southport beach is as gorgeous as it ever was for a perfect summer portrait setting and this young lady only served to enhance that.

Enjoy!

They can’t help but make you smile…

Enjoy!

Enjoy the preview!

Enjoy Mom and Dad!

A sleeping beauty perhaps?

Or how about 2?

What a pleasure it was to photograph babies Olivia and Emma this afternoon. Such precious little girls….

A couple years ago, my husband and I had spent a morning alone walking amongst the paths of a nearby apple orchard. It is hard not to be struck by the beauty of spring amongst a myriad of apple trees in full bloom and glorious fragrance. The photographer in me saw…. opportunity. Since this walk I had not been able to get the idea out of my mind for a portrait of my children in these picturesque surroundings. My chance came this spring as I gathered my children up freshly bathed, adorned in new finery just for the occasion, and headed out to the orchard.
From the moment of the first shutter release, I knew that prehaps my grand image might not come to life. See, we had recently celebrated the second birthday of our youngest daughter. For all of you mother’s out there, I imagine you can see where this may be going. Genevieve wanted nothing to do with her mother’s dream portrait opportunity, not with her five siblings. She wanted merely to run amongst the trees independently.
Can we really blame her? No, I suppose not.
Will I admit to great disappointment at the loss of my vision? Absolutely.
I will not admit failure though, and will be back at the orchard next May to again chance bringing my vision to fruitation. (Just don’t tell my kids yet!)
Even on this occasion, all was not lost, and I was able to capture individual images of my children.

The winter was long…..and cold…..as they generally are here in Wisconsin, and I was blessed to be able to spend the days with my husband and children, taking a break from photography for a time. Though I’ll tell you, there were times I was just itching to get behind the camera, I really fully enjoyed the time spent with my family, and away from the computer (a photography business seems to be 1 part getting out there and taking pictures and 9 parts desk work, who would have thought, right?).

I am glad to be back at it though and so happy to have the camera back in my hands.  Recently, I had a bit of fun with our pet box turtle, Berry. He was generally amicable and is quite the handsome little reptile.

Here he is, letting me know what he thinks of getting his picture taken….(I had a Chicken Run moment when seeing this shot…”Those chickens are up to something, their organized.” Hmmm, I think turtles might have a few tricks up their sleeves too.)

Then I took him for some outdoor fun and unfortunately I don’t think he could handle the distractions. He was more interested in getting away as quickly as his little legs would carry him and burrowing into the leaves. I did manage to get a shot of him before he dipped under….

And just for thrills I took a few self portraits too (you would think I’d have more willing subjects in a family this size, wouldn’t you?) Here’s one of my favorites….

I just love a good cliffhanger.

We had rescheduled this senior session for a more promising day only to find that the beach was not only cold, but windy too! I mean really windy! But just as springtime weather is ever unpredictable, I find that teenagers are always accommodating. She braved it out and we did what we could, hanging close to the shelter of the beach house, and did not fail to get some great shots of this beautiful young lady.

my last senior of the class of 2009…. 

And one from the studio…

I had never really considered the possibility of “pet portrait sessions” when along came an opportunity to photograph this newly adopted miniature dachshund. Honestly, my expectations were low going into it, but upon the conclusion of our mini session, I was pleasantly surprised at the images I had achieved of this lovable pup. He was darling enough to make me think twice about where a puppy might fit into our family, but then (thankfully) reality took over and for now our cats are definitely the perfect pet for our busy family.
