I LOVE it when a mom tells me during our pre-session chat that she doesn’t expect perfection, she just wants to capture her family. This totally speaks to me, both as a mom and a photographer. It is my ultimate goal that your pictures will reflect you and your season of life.

We had so much fun during this session, literally laughing and playing with the kids. It was beautiful to see them love on each other, kissing the baby and hugging each other. I’m so glad we were able to capture it all!

I especially love it when a mom tells me, “As soon as I got here, all of my stress just melted away.” Her relaxation and desire to just capture her kids as they are, shows in all of these images. I hope that they have space on their walls for their gorgeous gallery of photos!

SO many more to come!

I love getting to see a family grow… especially when God grows your family in ways that you could never imagine…

Meet Jonathan and Lyssa Stoyko. They recently celebrated their ten year anniversary. Josiah and Caleb Stoyko joined their family this year and they are in love. Josiah (9.5 months) is full of joy and loves exploring. Caleb (5 weeks) is growing quickly and his smile melts their hearts. They love to get outdoors when they can and explore new places.

Mom Lyssa says, “What made this photo shoot so special is that it was our first family photo shoot. A year ago, Jonathan and I weren’t sure our family would ever be larger than the two of us and now we have these incredible boys. We were so excited to capture the abundant blessings from the Lord that these two boys are. This photo shoot is a testimony of God’s faithfulness to us, and to these boys and their birth families.”

Lyssa’s words of wisdom for a fall shoot for a few family of 4, “There’s nothing like drool pouring down your baby’s chin during a picture, or mosquitoes landing on our faces while we try to smile! But don’t spend a lot of time worrying about the shoot, especially the poses. Trust Jessica, she’ll help make it go smoothly.” She also recommends playing a YouTube video of a vacuum for the baby so that mom can get a pre-shoot shower in 🙂

Every so often I meet a family that tugs at my heartstrings. Thank you, Stoyko family, for letting me capture your incredible story!

Redding Family | Lake Geneva Family Session

Redding Family | Lake Geneva Family Session

When Rob and Aimee met in college, I wonder if they ever would have guessed that they would be the parents of twin boys and a 2 year old with the strength of the hulk?

Lake Geneva PhotographerLake Geneva Photographer

I have had the privilege of photographing these sweet boys since Benny (the hulk) was a newborn. We have had some epic sessions (including one that started with a bloody lip and ended with mass casualties), but this one was AMAZING! Aimee agrees, “My favorite part of the session was when Benny plopped down on the blanket on his stomach for his turn to take pictures. Wow, that’s a change from last year! Last year my 1 year old ran in the opposite direction that he should have the whole time… but now that’s a memory. It was just the stage he was in.”

I love getting to see kiddos grow and change, and also getting to see their relationships deepen with each other. These three little men are quickly becoming each other’s best friends…

Their mom says, “Even if the kids don’t seem to be cooperating during the session , Jessica is amazing and will still somehow manage to get good photos.”

I can’t wait until our next adventure, Redding family!!

Beach Session | Lake Geneva Photographer

Ladies and Gents, this is the moment I’VE been waiting for…. to photograph one of my favorite families in my very favorite location. Clouds or sunshine… the Riviera Beach in Lake Geneva, WI is magical.

Lake Geneva Photographer

From boardwalks to boat docks, to sand between our toes and a spontaneous dip in the waves (who can resist?!?) we captured fun and laughter our entire shoot!

The very best part of our shoot was watching this family play together… just how a day at the beach should be!

Lake Geneva PhotographerPhoto shoots can be to commemorate new beginnings,

to capture a special age or stage,

or just to remember the idyllic freedom and joy of childhood.

Lake Geneva Photographer

More than anything, I just want you to remember your family’s deep love for each other.

What a gift…

Lake Geneva Photographer

Thank you for letting me capture your memories!!!

Trentadue Family | Walworth County Photographer

My ultimate goal for every single session is to capture you. Your personality. Your love for each other.LAKE GENEVA PHOTOGRAPHER

You don’t have to look at the camera and smile. I love that photography isn’t about perfection, but is about being REAL. Whether you are smooching, breastfeeding, or playing airplane. I want to capture who you really are.

LAKE GENEVA PHOTOGRAPHER

This week I loved meeting this sweet family of three. From their chill bohemian vibe, to their love of the outdoors, to their sense of adventure, I hope that I captured everything that they hold dear.

LAKE GENEVA PHOTOGRAPHER

Especially that sweet baby, June!

 Cloudy skies don’t matter when you have a family as gorgeous and in love with their life as this one! Until next time, Trentadue family!!

 

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
And the dreams that you dream of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That’s where you’ll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to
Why, oh why can’t I?
I see trees of green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue, and I see clouds of white
The brightness of day, I like the dark
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shakin’ hands, sayin’ ‘How do you do?’
They’re really say I, I love you
I hear babies cryin’, and I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than we’ll know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That’s where you’ll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
And the dream that you dare to
Why, oh why can’t I?
