And finally it snows!

Just a quick post to celebrate the long awaited snow! We've gotten dustings and a few decent storms, but its been a while. Now that its January, we're finally blessed with a chill in the air and snow on the ground. I say blessed because this is what January in Wisconsin should be - yes, 40's and 50's are VERY nice (you won't find me complaining!), and it was lovely to get out to the park with the boys yesterday - but remember folks, we've got SPRING for spring weather!

Anyway, enjoy today and drive safe!

Think Spring!

Yep, I know its still the very first part of January, and while I happen to LOVE winter photography (there are many great reasons...its a beautiful time of year), this beautiful warm weather we're enjoying in Central Wisconsin today might have us mistakenly thinking Spring is just around the corner.

Thats not necessarily the case, but time sure flies and Spring will be here before we know it. Now is the time to think about when and where to schedule your Spring session. Whether you are thinking about Easter photos for the whole family, Mother's Day pictures of the kids (perhaps generations of the ladies in your life!) or Senior portraits for the grad-to-be next fall (Class of 2013!), start brainstorming now - or call for a pre-session consultation for ideas or to build your custom session.

Enjoy the day!

Happy New Year!

Ahhh 2012 - cliche, but can you believe it? I hope with all the busy holiday preparations, decorating and family gatherings you were able to take a few moments to ponder the reason we celebrate and reflect on your blessings. For me, I've been blessed to enjoy more time at home with my family and that we're all healthy and happy. Kids grow up so fast, its a beautiful thing to enjoy them at every stage. I watch my oldest son, who is 3, and wonder when he became so smart, so big and so independent - yet he's still my cuddly little boy. I watch my younger son, who is 1, and wonder the same thing...well, that and just how much CAN he eat? Will he ever be full? My husband and I of course have our own resolutions, I should call them committments and perhaps they'd stick better, but baby steps, right?

Professionally, I'm looking foward to capturing beautiful moments for many lovely families this year. I also have some great specials up my sleeve - so check back often!

So anyway, I hope that 2012 finds all of us with a positive attitude for whats to come as we count our blessings for all that we have been given in 2011.
