Baby D - lifestyle newborn session - Neenah, WI

This is the second part of this beautiful baby boy's session. Some posed photos, but also some totally candid. We tried waking the little one for some 'open eye' family photos, but someone was super content. And that's perfectly fine :)

MaryClare has a super adorable little baby girl. And this little girl has the most adorable facial expressions. Beautiful smiles, thoughtful book reading concentration… and giggles… tons of them.

A Lifestyle session is a great way to capture the everyday moments… Like reading a book, playing with toys, playing with mom and dad, etc… it's part of a person's life yet it all makes for great imaginary…. Nothing better than capturing it on film.

My favorite images from the session...

A day in life - haircut - personal photography - Appleton, WI

Ladies and gentlemen… we have eight inches. Eight inches of glorious hair!

Here's the back story… In the last year, my daughter's hair grew like crazy. Granted, it's been almost a year since we gave her a haircut, her beautiful thick hair managed to get over eight inches long. And yes, we had waited on purpose for those eight inches.

I had explained to my daughter about how some kids cannot grow hair due to a sickness… she said that she would like to donate her hair. So we waited...

The game face… Big thanks goes to lovely hairstylists at Heads of Time in Appleton.

The hair will be shipped to Children with Hair Loss. We are super excited that we can help someone in need.

The L family - Minneapolis - lifestyle family session part 2

Too many great photos (if that's even possible!!!)… that's the verdict of Barbara and Dave's lifestyle family session. Here's part two (you can see part one here) .

When I walked in, Barbara asked if it's too cheesy to hang a picture during the session… "She always helps her daddy," she said of her lovely daughter.

Well, this little cutie knew exactly what to do!

We squeezed in a milk break :)

And then, it it was enough to say 'wanna bake some cookies?' and it was on!

And they waited for the cookies to bake… just like they are all waiting for the baby sister or baby brother :)

Big thanks to Barbara and Dave to let me in their home to capture their love and their family.

Thank you. Dziekuje.

I had met Barbara many years ago. She is my husband's best friend's sister… Yes, I know that's a mouthful! She's also one of my former brides and this particular session is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Her family is expanding and I'm honored to take a part in an another milestone.

Freshly woken up from her nap and seeing a stranger, the session started a little bit slowly...

But it didn't take too long… It only took a couple of mom's hugs to make this cutie comfortable  :)

Since they will be getting another addition to their family, they are trying to instill some big sister habits in their little one.

Both of these babies sleep on their tummies.

Fun with dad. Moments like that are exactly why I love lifestyle sessions.
