a night on the farm

we decided that the only thing that could have made this session any better would have been a chocolate cake (duh) and some bug spray - like a gallon or 3. 

an extremely amazing family, super fun and so good to one-another... refreshing!  I rode out their family farm in WI with them, and it's fun to think of my boys getting to be these boys ages... super great kids. 

the buildings and fields in the images have emotional significance and memories for this family, so it was great to be able to use this location for their family photos.

but holy-moly, the mosquitoes were UNBELIEVABLE!  I have NEVER seen the likes of them... I am still itching just thinking about it!  I have millions of outtakes from the session of one of them swatting themselves, or a big blurred image from me swatting myself as I shot.   Made me laugh... and itch.

 thanks guys - next time I'll bring cake AND twizzlers!

lucky red boots

they were totally lucky red boots to be worn by this sweet girl.  beautiful (HOT HOT HOT) evening with these guys, and I just love that every year that I see her, it's like were long lost friends... greeted with a hug and friendly chatter the whole session.  love her.

told you those boots were lucky, that is a REAL 4 leaf clover... I had never seen one before!

thanks sweet cowgirl!  can't wait to see you again.

gluckliche kinder

These sweet littles were here visiting from Europe and I had the pleasure of meeting them out in Marine on St. Croix one evening.

They were so happy to run.. and dance... and be adorable!  It was really fun capturing them in action.  The cute outfits their mom picked turned up really nice with the evening sun filtering through them.  Loved every minute of it!  This is one of those sessions when it took all my effort to put my camera away at the end of the session.  I could have photo'd them all night I think.

Thanks so much you guys!!!
