New Baby Jonathan!

On February 27th Steph and Ryan welcomed new baby Jonathan into the world, and on March 13th we welcomed him into our studio for his first pictures. Jonathan is the kind of baby mothers dream about having - only fussing when he needed something something: food, burping, or a diaper change. Other than that, he spent the shoot snoozing lazily, stretching out as much as he could, and dreaming whatever it is that sweet little babies dream about. We got the opportunity to use a very special blanket made by Steph's godmother as one of our backdrops. The blanket was with Stephanie all throughout labor and was there waiting to wrap Jonathan up the moment he arrived, a soft reminder of the loving family anticipating his homecoming.

Hudson Turns 6 Months

One of the most exciting things for us is to see our newborns back for their six month sessions. In that time they develop so much personality; we never know what to expect! Hudson went from being this tiny, sleeping baby to a six-month-old with wiggles and giggles to spare. He was showing us his new tricks of rolling over and playing with his toes, and was completely enthralled with our camera flash. His mom dressed him up in cute little sweaters and polos and we had an irresistible little man ready for his close-up. There are many great things about our job, but one of my favorites is the surprise how the little ones change each time we see them. We will be glad to have Hudson back anytime!

Kasey and Ben's New Home!


Yesterday, after many changed closing dates and struggles to get everyone on the same page, Ben and I closed on our first home. Our new address will be 1207 Shawano Avenue in Green Bay, although we won't be moving until the first of March. The house was built in 1924, and by the design plan we are nearly positive that it is a catalog home through Built Well Catalog Company that was delivered by train and assembled on site. It is American Four Square style, which is a branch of the Craftsman movement.

The house has a lot of work to be done... firstly, it is in need of a furnace. It doesn't have a furnace in poor working condition, it is actually completely missing. Only Ben and I would be silly enough to fall in love with a furnace-less home in the dead of winter! We are hoping to get one installed by the end of the week so renovations can begin and we can turn it into a place that truly feels like home.

We can't wait to have you there!

Thank you to Rita Hock for help with the photography!
