Blessings

“All that we behold is full of blessings.” – Wordsworth

I *Heart* Him

Some people have kids to torment with their cameras… I have this boy.

It never ceases to amaze me – he totally gets an “I’m bored, Mom” look when I’ve got my camera out, but if I click my tongue or make squeaky noises, sometimes I can make it a little more interesting for him. He follows me around, and he can never get enough cuddles.

He’s totally my baby.

Little Miss Brynn was welcomed into the world about a month ago, and boy is she precious!! And loved :)

July 13, 2011 - 11:30 AM Tricia - Love the pictures! Thank you!

Allyson, Now… | Eau Claire, WI Senior Photography

This beautiful young lady doesn’t take a bad picture, which makes the task of choosing a reasonable number of photos from her senior photo session, well… nearly impossible. Wouldn’t be such a big deal, except I love taking pictures of her so much that I took a whopping 410 photos in just a few short hours… Yes, that’s right, I said 410.

Here’s just one, for now :)

And here’s a link to some of the shots I took of her two years ago, when we were just out having fun.

Just. The. Cutest. | Eau Claire, WI Newborn Photography

Brynn is thinking: Whoa… you think I’m one of the cutest babies ever?!?!

More of her cuteness to come very soon. :)

July 6, 2011 - 9:14 PM berta - PRECIOUS!!! Post more soon please, I'm sure they are just as beautiful as this one is... Nice job sissy! :)

July 6, 2011 - 11:06 PM Mom - OMG - what a doll!!! Can't wait to see the rest!!!

July 7, 2011 - 2:14 AM Tricia - Love it! Can't wait to see more of our sweet baby :)

Baby B | Chippewa Falls, WI Newborn Portrait Photography

Here are a few more shots of Baby B, a precious little peanut I got to meet when he was just 7 days new :)

Click here to see the shot I posted of him last week. Isn’t he sweet?

Spunky & Sweet

Since Miss Addison & the Twins were both on the blog recently, I thought I’d share an updated photo of both Jayden and Natalie, my two sweet nieces that have incredibly spunky personalities and make me laugh all the time… Seriously, they’re absolutely hilarious!! Love you girls! :)

July 1, 2011 - 8:02 AM Katie - Super cute pictures Kristen! Jayden has been asking when you are coming over again to take pictures! :)

Enjoy the Roses

‘One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.’ – Dale Carnegie

(Oh, and I know these aren’t roses, so if that bothers you, go ahead and insert the word ‘lily/lilies’ above where applicable, lol :) )

July 1, 2011 - 8:03 AM Katie - Nice flowers.......good thing there wasn't a snake in the picture! haha!

Allyson, Then… | Eau Claire Senior Portrait Photography

Well… {insert embarrased throat clearing noise}… Quite some time ago, I met up with my lovely cousin Allyson in Eau Claire and she very kindly smiled and walked around for me as I tried out a new lens. I’m more than a little shocked at how much time has gone by since these were taken (think less than 2 years, but way, way more than 1 year), and in all that time they have just been sitting, patiently waiting in my “To Edit” folder. When life happens, the fun stuff sometimes gets put aside out of necessity, and this evening with Allyson was definitely fun……. & put aside.

BUT, better late than never, right?!? So, here are some of the shots of Allyson, ‘then’… (Watch for some shots of her ‘now’ to come very soon, as she is about to start her senior year! Stay tuned!)

Lovely and fun. She’s so awesome :)
