It makes me feel old…

This senior post is a special one.  I can hardly believe that this gorgeous girl has grown up so fast! I remember when her mom brought her home from the hospital! I was about 13 years old, and I thought she was the prettiest baby I had ever seen. As you can see below, 7 years later, she was a flower girl in my wedding! (By the way, she is totally going to hate me for posting this, I am sure.)

Aww….look how cute…:)

Now she has grown up into a beautiful young woman, and I wish her all the best in her senior year!

And of course, we had to get one with her older sis!

At the farm

When I was in college I had a friend who was going to school for something very specific: his dream was to work full-time with autistic children. And after meeting and photographing TJ, I can totally understand why!  TJ, a 2010 senior, is a kid with an amazing spirit who loves to laugh (and has a whole stash of knock-knock jokes  just waiting to be told!) For our shoot, we had the opportunity to spend part of our time at Carrol’s Friendship Farms in Chippewa Falls. TJ works with the horses there, and it was obvious how much he enjoyed the farm.

Hope you enjoy the photos!

Auntie Jenny

I am an only child. There, I said it. And although there are some benefits to being the only kid in the house, I always worried that I would never have any nieces or nephews. After all, what if I married another “only child?” How awful (it seemed to me at that age) for my future kids to be without cousins! So I scoped out all the dudes I could find that had lots of siblings.

No, just kidding, I didn’t. BUT, I did marry a man with 4 brothers… and now I am a proud aunt to 7 incredible kids!

Here is my little neice, Ava almost 2 years ago:

And here she is NOW!!

And of course we had to take a couple with Mom and Dad!

And my favorite of the entire day:

Family

I think the temperature was about 95 the day these photos were taken…but the heat did not get in the way of a great shoot. We decided to change our location plans last minute, but I think it turned out to be the perfect location for us!

I love this family dearly, and I hope they enjoy the photos!
