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!

I love meeting a new family. Being welcomed into their home. Getting to be one of the first people to meet their new miracle.

Lake Geneva Photographer

During our session I LOVE getting to know all of the bits and pieces of their new baby…

He has daddy’s chin
He has mommy’s dimples
He is named after his grandpa, who is a stone Mason.
His 4-legged big brother and sister adore him.

Lake Geneva Photographer

I love visiting the nursery that has been so carefully prepared for him.
I love getting to capture the diaper changes, the snuggles, and the yawns and sighs of this little life.
I love getting a glimpse of the pure joy radiating from his brand new mom and dad, who are still coming to grips that this little man is truly their’s.

Lake Geneva Photographer

And every once in awhile I get to catch a rare, sweet smile. Just a peek into this sweet boy’s happy future!

Lake Geneva Photographer

Welcome Mr. Mason. We’re so glad you’re here!

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!!
