Dana also recently came back for her second model shoot of the season, but instead of fighting the heat, Dana got to fight the wind! Luckily with some patience and tree coverage we were able to get some fun shots. Check it out!
The dog days of summer! I had so much fun with Roscoe and Ice this week in our Delafield studio! Being a dog lover myself, I’m just a sucker for big brown eyes, big paws, soft fur and wagging tails. They were truly great (as were their parents) and I loved capturing their unique traits and personality with my camera. Woof!
This past week I had the pleasure of meeting beautiful miss cece and big brother dasch and their wonderful parents. Little explorers these two are! D was quietly serious and his serious nature amused me, while nothing seemed to phase little Miss C. I had a blast exploring the quaintness of downtown Delafield with you! Thanks for allowing me into your lives and allowing me to capture your beautiful, young family at this time in your lives!
With senior season starting, here are some clothing options that would look awesome!
This past weekend Steph came in for her second session now that the weather is getting warmer 🙂 We really wanted to take advantage of the green that is all around. She is so easy to work with and we had a great time! Check out some images from her session!
Sam is one of our Senior Models for the season and came back for another session. Sam’s so great she even braved the chilly drizzle in an adorable sundress to get some fun shots! Thanks for coming back Sam!
Adrian was one of the most fun little boys I’ve photographed in a while. He decided he wanted me to call him Rock-n-Roll during our photoshoot! Thanks for the giggles today Rock-N-Roll!

Models really do do it all! Despite freezing temps outside, a couple of weekends ago I was lucky enough to work with some great models who rocked some fun spring fashion! The girls were modeling the latest trends from Fred Boutique (524 N Water St, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 ) Check out their stuff at www.fredboutique.com and get ready for spring!
