Christmas Mini Sessions |Lake Geneva, WI

I absolutely love being a part of your Christmas cards and holiday traditions… and it’s so hard for me to keep these amazing photos a secret. Now that the holidays are past, here’s a few peeks of our wonderful holiday family shoots!



Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on your troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest place
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

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!

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.

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?

Sweet Sitter Session | Lake Geneva Photographer

When the Ranz family asked me to capture this new milestone, I customized a special session to focus on Lydia’s new skills. Her mom said, “We wanted to capture Lydia’s sitting up milestone. The baby years go by so quickly and they truly change each and every day. We like to represent these fleeting phases in the best way possible, with professional photography! For our first born we did a newborn, sitting up, and 1 year/standing photo shoot and intend to do the exact same for our second!”

Lake Geneva Photographer

“We were extremely lucky with our first born daughter. She was what is considered a “good” baby and she has always been such a joy. We were told over and over again that she had a “second child” type personality and that we probably wouldn’t get so lucky again with our second! If possible, our second is even “easier”! Lydia is such a delight! She is always laughing and smiling! She has such a spunky personality and we love it!! She is talkative and adventurous!”

All of it! This was our favorite session by far! From start to finish it was fun and we loved watching Lydia just be herself!
