Category Archives: Family Portraits It’s become an annual ritual. The fall family portrait with my sister’s family. As the kids have grown it’s gotten more interesting and challenging, but it’s always fun. This year we visited the UW Arboretum, which was in a lovely state of autumn. Here’s a few of my favorites. We’re still booking portrait sessions for...  I had a fun little family portrait shoot recently with the Rebstock family. It was a hot day, but the shade and the breeze off the lake at Bartel’s Beach in Lake Mills made it really nice. Little Lizzie, which is short for Lizelle (what a cool name!), is just a few months old and...  Weddings are of course about two people coming together and making a commitment to each other, but weddings are also about families coming together. This is especially true with brides and grooms who already have children. Some of the most moving and special ceremonies I’ve ever seen were ones where the kids were uniting and...

The older kids, Garrison and Eliza, were very cooperative this year, but little Clara Mae was really in no mood for photos. It was all we could do to get her...  Heidi and Tommy are getting married on Valentines Day in LaCrosse. It definitely won’t be as sunny and warm that day as it was when we shot their engagement portraits, but Heidi has already said she want to do some wedding day photos outside in the snow! Since Heidi and Tommy already have kids, we...  Most people know it’s really fall when the leaves start to turn colors, or maybe they start to feel a chill in the air, or maybe they get odd cravings for pumpkin pie. With me though, the surest sign of fall is portraits of my sister and her family. It’s become an annual tradition of...  Family portraits are not something I do very often compared to weddings, but I enjoy it when I get the chance. Val and I spent a little time with the Klein family at the UW Arboretum a couple weeks ago shooting some family pictures. The clouds made the day seem a little gloomy, but it...  Clara Mae Lindley was born at home at 1:49 a.m. on Thursday, April 19th. She weighed 8 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches long.My sister is a doula so with her third child she decided to give birth at home, which is definitely a unique experience for a family.
