{ Heidi + Alex = MARRIED! }

Heidi and Alex have been together for nearly five years.  They met while they were both working at Fleet Farm, proving (as Alex's best man stated at their wedding) that you can find nearly everything at Fleet Farm...lifetime happiness included.  Together they enjoy cooking and traveling.  They see everything as a new opportunity for adventure, which is something Ben and I love about them.  They are both so naturally optimistic and relaxed.  I have never seen a bride more completely at ease before her wedding - with Heidi there were no doubts and no fears; there was only excitement and assuredness, and we can see why.  As a couple, they bring out the best in each other, the playfulness and the joy, and their wedding was nothing more than a pure celebration of all that is yet to come.  Congratulations to a wonderful couple!

Gabe Turns One Year!

Three days after getting to see his baby sister for her three month photos, we met Gabe at the park for his one year photos.  Their family had spent part of the afternoon there and Gabe was enjoying himself on the playground with his favorite activity of all time: climbing.  We interrupted him from his play for a few shots on the equipment before taking a little trek throughout the rest of the park.  He wasn't thrilled about leaving the playground at first, but when he realized we had stools, chairs and crates to climb on (not to mention, his favorite climbing apparatus, daddy) he was as content as ever.

When we did Gabe's newborn photos a year ago, I was so amazed at all the fight that little baby had.  He was a week old and was trying to lift his head - all the while his arms and legs were going every which way.  It it always funny to me how many things stay the same as we grow, and that tough little baby has grown into a rough-and-tumble little tot.  We love getting to see these transitions.

Upcoming Fall Photography Skills Classes

Photography is never an endeavor of a single person.  It is the combine creativity of our community and peers that pushes us to create better and new ideas.  Creatives inspire and challenge each other and the end result is more amazing works of art.  For this reason, we are launching the education portion of our little business this fall. :)

I have been teaching private art and photography lessons to individual students and in local schools since 2008.  I currently teach a handfull of adult and youth summer classes at Peninsula School of Art in Door County.  www.peninsulaartschool.com  I am very excited to have the opportunity to meet with more new people, and teach classes on things that interest me about photography!

This fall we are offering three photography related classes.  One is an introduction class, one is an advanced class, and one is a class on image editing that is appropriate for amateurs to professionals.  I will also continue to teach private and small group classes with curriculum tailored specifically to your interests.

Dates for group classes are yet to be announced.  Please let us know if you are interested in receiving more information.  Thanks for helping us take this step forward; please spread the word. :)

Olivia Turns 3 Months!

It's always amazing to me how much a baby can change between their newborn and three month portraits.  When I saw Olivia for her first portraits, she was a beautiful, sleeping brand-new baby.  At three months she is animated, smiling and bright-eyed.  She spent her photoshoot showing off those big blue eyes that were a gift from her mommy, and smiling big happy smiles for Ben.  I love her perfect baby skin and those loose strawberry blonde curls - what a sweet girl.  A few days after Olivia's photos, we did her brother Gabe's one year portraits, which I will post soon. :)
