It may sound cliche but there truly is no place like home.

There are many grand feelings associated with becoming parents for the first time but certainly the first trip home is something truly special.  Home is a place that is our unique creation, a safe place to build memories, sooth one another and create everlasting love. For Heather and Paul, home got a little more special this holiday season as they welcomed little Aubryn into her first year of family traditions. I’m certain she was spoiled in all the sweetest of ways.

May this collection warm you heart and inspire loving tenderness to you all.  With 2012 on the horizon, we enter into new chapters in life.  Take some time to reflect upon what special moments you may want captured. We are always interested in hearing your stories and bringing lasting memories for you to cherish. Send us a note, we’d love to hear from you!

Families

With this beautiful fall weather and nature’s calming color pallet, this has been a pretty fabulous month for family photos. This weekend I got to play and giggle with the Thiel family. These two little kids, who just happen to be my niece and nephew, always have something new and silly they pull out for our photo sessions. This year was Sawyers new favorite phrase ‘Awkwaaaard… ‘ followed by an outburst of laughter by all. Thanks for the smiles, buddy!

Enjoy.


It’s never too late for family photos. We design our own holiday cards your friends will admire year-round and gifting family memories is one of the most treasured gifts you can give. Head to our Family Page on our website to view more of our moments captured and to inquire about adding your family to our growing gallery of admired images.

Family Photos {what to wear}

Families, Personal

Dressing for a photo session comes easy to some but for many it does not.  We’re in the heart of photographing the most colorful season of the year and I’m offering a few tips for dressing yourself and children for fall family photos.

1.  Shades of Grey and Blues look best with nature’s green, yellow and orange Spring-Fall pallet.  These colors look good on most everyone as well.  Consider adding a complimenting color such as plum, burgundy or mustard to pull everyone together.  Dress the kids in something adorable from one of the MANY fabulous children’s clothing stores in Appleton.  Check out BellyBeans on College Ave for some of our favorites or online stores such as Matilda Jane, Persnickety (all 50% off right now!) and Joyfolie and Nori Shoes for some ridiculously adorable kids shoes.  Kids look great in darling patterned dresses or flannel shirts with cozy fall vests.  It may be easier to find kids outfits first and dress the adults afterwards.  Consider scarves, hair accessories, cute hats and belts for the bigger kids and adults to pull in a pop of color from their outfits.  Here are a few family session that reflect these tips:

Here’s another family with basics for mom and dad and the kids in patterns:

2.  If your home decor and clothing pallet are more earthy and neutral, consider keeping your wardrobe the same.  DO NOT WEAR WHITE!  White will wash you out and make you look larger than you really are.  I’d suggest creams and tans instead.

3.  Come in clothes you can play in!  For our family sessions we’ll have you all playing together so please wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty and not worry about.  To us the perfect image will be ones that you will smile or laugh at and and remember your children’s laughter from.
