Now, I am off to California for a week of family photo sessions. Being a children’s photographer means that in October, November and December, you pretty much go wild taking photo. Fall is our busiest season and it is just so fun! I love what I do, so of course, I love getting to do it for so many families. Fun fun fun!

Much of this winter in Milwaukee was brown and dead. No beautiful snow to soften the blow of winter’s chill. It was lame. Then, to my delight, we got “dumped on”, as they say, and then dumped on again.  All is right in my wintry world again.

So, let’s go sledding! This old Radio Flyer is our favorite sled. If you don’t have one, you should. This one was Tyler’s, but I saw a few at an antique store for a lot less than I paid for it.  Super fast, and better yet, super smooth; which is perfect for “old” people like Brian and I. Sledding is better with friends.The snow was kinda’ sticky.Whee! Terror + Giggles = JOY Mmm, yum. I was so excited to capture this. Every time I slide down the hill, this is what I see. I always think to myself This is the true image of mama-sledding, this is the picture I want to remember forever. Check it out; I am in a photo !!

The sweet deal:

I’d really like to round out my snowy photos gallery with some cute little bundles so I need one model family to be the subjects of my first winter session. If you want to be chosen there are a few guidelines you’ll need to follow:

-Your kiddos need to be between 18 months and 6 years old (if you have a couple in that range plus one more above or below, that works, too) and you need to have at least two (or a small group of cousins, must be related)

-You need to have cute, bright, happy winter gear. Include a photo in your inquiry.

-New clients only, because we love new clients. (previous clients are eligible for the 50% discount sessions, because we love you, too)
