The Cutest Bump.

Angie is my best friend. I mean, the bestbestbestbest person and greatest friend I have ever had.  We met in kindergarten and were in the same Girl Scout Troop.  My family moved away in 4th grade but that didn't stop Angie and me from constant pen pal letters and sneaking in visits when we could.  We still have all of our letters that we wrote one another.  We lived together through college, have been maid/matron of honor in each other's weddings, and are now sharing in becoming mommas together.  Angie is by far the cutest pregnant lady I have ever seen, and Luke is just about the happiest dad-to-be.  

I cannot wait to love up on this sweet baby when he or she comes into this world! 

Baby Sadowsky, you are so loved already!

The Garczynski Family

Julia and Kevin are kind, generous, and loyal; a fun loving couple that we are honored to know.  And their kids, they couldn’t be more adorable!  Reid is active, with an energetic imagination that makes you smile. And Aria is a girl after my own heart, contemplative and curious. Our time together was full of laughs, smiles, and beautiful faces and spirits.

The love here. So sweet. xo

Jocelyn, sweet pea!

Can I just say that I love Madison? Everything about it. Included in my top-reasons-I-love-Madison list is this place, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art.  In a prime location on State Street, the museum hosts a variety of exhibitions and events year-around, like my husband and my summer of 2013 wedding!

  Another reason to love this place: I get to take pictures of adorable families here!  Jocelyn's parents bid on a photo session to support the Second Harvest Food Bank in Madison, and we decided that MMoCA would be the perfect place to take some pictures of her.  Jocelyn toddled around the museum looking adorable as ever in the cute outfits her mom picked out.  Jocelyn's grandmother even made the lacy bloomer she wore. It was clear how much Ryan and Carissa adore their one year old little peanut.   
It was a lovely afternoon with a wonderful family!

Jocelyn, you are a doll!

The Hoyt Family at the Tree Farm

Leave it to Wisconsin, it was sunny and warmish the whole week before this family's shoot.  The morning of, it was chilly and overcast, but the extended Hoyt family gathered with smiles and cozy winter clothes to play at a tree farm. Grandma and Grandpa held onto the babes, and we even had Whitney and Rob's pup join us for a few photos.  

This is a group of good, loving people, and I am grateful they have been so warm to me!

A big thank you to Jean and Ken at Paoli Tree Farm for letting us use their beautiful space!

Cheers to the new year, Hoyt family!
