Elliana had a fun surprise for me on this photo shoot – she changed into a 'big sister' shirt!! I met the Evans family on a warm evening (but we beat the rain!) at the Rod & Gun Park in Eau Claire. We did a few photos and then Eli changed into her awesome new shirt for some photos that Mom & Dad could use to announce their new little one!

I've known little Brady's Mama for a few years now. She was so sweet when I was pregnant with Deansen – and who I know totally knew I was pregnant before we were telling anyone! So I was so excited to find out she was pregnant and enjoyed sharing stories with her. I was thrilled to photograph little Mr. Brady at their home.

Casey is a friend of my husband's and has been his insurance guy for awhile. When I first met him a year or so ago we were sitting around our kitchen table talking and he kept mentioning his wife, Deb. After a little while it finally clicked – Deb. Deborah. Deborah Becker from State Farm Insurance. I said 'wait is your wife Deborah Becker?!'. If you live in Eau Claire there it is almost impossible to not know or have heard of Deborah Becker. I was a little giddy – she's kind of a local celebrity! A few months ago they asked me to do their family photos and I was thrilled! Deb likes choosing different themes for her family photo shoots and this time she wanted them to be very bright and colorful. With their adorably colorful outfits we hit their office for a few photos and then headed out around the corner to a little area that overlooks the Chippewa River.
Little Briar Rose joined the Johannes Family recently and I got to meet her last weekend! I've met her big brother Castor before but it has been awhile! We hung out at their house in Hudson, WI for some newborn and family photos before the holidays.

I've known Noah's Dad for just about 15 years! Mark was one of the first people I met as a freshman at UWEC and became one of my very good friends. We've kept in touch over the years but this past weekend was the first time I've seen him and his beautiful wife, Andrea, in quite a few years. And the first time I got to meet their ADORABLE little boy Noah.
It was a very chilly Sunday morning so we had our session at Davies Center on the UWEC campus – which was fitting given our history!
I recently got a Nikon f100 with 85mm/1.8D AF lens. I've ran through a couple rolls of personal work but this was the first time I tried it out at a session. So in love with these film scans of little Noah! Review of the Nikon f100 to come..

We met over at Banbury Place in Eau Claire where we had a beautiful day, although a tad windy! I've been to Banbury numerous times but hadn't quite explored it all yet. The last photo was an alley we found that had some very cool brick backgrounds! Although that is where the wind really picked up! They were such a sweet family to work with!
