Congratulations Hannah & Chad

I know...I'M WAY BEHIND...these newlyweds tied the knot Memorial Day weekend and already enjoyed their fabulous honeymoon :).  I was invited to this wedding as a friend and took full advantage of a night out with my husband and friends, left the camera down for 90% of the night, and just really enjoyed visiting with everyone.

It was a spectacular wedding to be at for sure, the ceremony was downtown at the Villa Terrace, and you can see in the shots I do have (had to step out during the ceremony with my little baby!!) how beautiful Hannah looked!!  Zilm (aka Chad) also looked great in his tux :).  The reception was  great and I loved loved Hannah's Yellow & Black & White decor...everything was perfect as every bride hopes it will be..at least from where I was sitting...and enjoying myself.

So glad we could share your day with you guys, we wish you all the happiness!!

Love,
The Czerniak's

A favorite moment...when he first sees his bride!

One Word: BEAUTIFUL!

Christian's Slip Sliding Brewer Baseball Birthday Party!

The first weekend in June was absolutely gorgeous...I know we were met with Rain, Rain And More Rain ever since...so it was awesome to get back to these pictures and FINALLY get to post a couple from my nephews party :).  The kids had a blast with a huge blow up water slide...hats off to my sister in law because that thing was great!!  If I was in swimsuit shape I might have tried it out.  Due to the nature of this birthday and all things age 3...we don't have as many pictures from the party..because who can get a 3 year old to stop for a second??!!  My lens is FAST...but with water danger and my little sunshine in my arms for a lot of the party...I'm sad to say I didn't get as many shots as usual :(.  We just need a couple good ones right? :)

PS...that is my girl rockin' the TUTU Swimsuit...LOVE HER!!

Happy Birthday Christian!

Just a Happy Guy

As the title of the blog suggests...I ran into just a happy little guy for an afternoon shoot..he came ready to GRIN & BARE it...ha ha ha :).    Really...he was all smiles from the start, which as you know means kick it into high gear and take as many shots as you can..which I did.  I swear in every new position we received at least one smile from this guy.  Maybe his big brother prepared him...I'm not exactly sure but I was ever so thankful :)

E you were awesome!!

Great to meet you M family and  I hope you like your sneak peek!

J was so patient to let his little brother have the spotlight...I had to snap a couple of his cuteness too :)

Double the Sweetness

What can I say...no excuse..except a newborn, 2 year old, Father's Day...but I'm back in the saddle and in my editing mode, which is much easier now that our new little angel is in somewhat of a pattern....she actually sleeps most of the night!!  So...I'm taking the chance and staying up a little later just like I like it...  I may regret this at 2...3...or 4 am...

I had such a great time with this family and their 2!!  that's right 2 new babies and fun little boy on this shoot.  We were all over the place...outside, in the house, in baskets, on blankets you name it...oh and it was HOT....our sporadic Wisconsin summer decided to show up for this shoot :)  

The babies were so cute and tiny and so neat (yup I'm using the word NEAT) to see how they interacted even as newborns, joining their arms, or curling toward one another, when one was awake...the other would sleep, just amazing to capture and watch!  

Their big brother was very sweet and I'm sure will have quite the job watching over not one beautiful sister but TWO.  

A big thanks to all the helpers (my best friend included...who jangled keys over my head and kept me moving) on hand for the shoot, a big brother, and two little little babies made all of us sweat but hopefully you'll enjoy the ending result!

Some Bunny is a Month Old Already!!

I know...I'm a total cheeeeeeseball ;) but I have the cutest props right now from Baby Bukies, and (yup they are for sale too if you are interested) I had to put my newbie in them!!

Sydney is a month old already!!  I am so behind...on my family stuff..I figured I better take some pictures at least..considering.nope...not done with our thank you cards..which we are VERY thankful, trust me, for all the visits, congratulations, beautiful gifts (not only for Sydney but for her big sister too) and support from everyone..it is just incredible how quickly days fly by!  Sydney's announcement is still coming too..whew...like I said I'm behind!

I really can't believe how fast this first month has gone by...I'm loving every minute of snuggling and watching my girls together..I wish I could freeze time..or extend this maternity leave!!

She really smiled!! And I didn't have to change her right after either!

My heart melts.

She is getting WAY too big :(

Here is the look..mom..enough pictures already!!  (Her  Daddy makes the SAME face!)

A Gift to Treasure...

I mentioned a little while ago on facebook that Father's Day is coming up and what a great gift to surprise your husband with...pictures of the kids!  That note was inspired by these charmers and their very thoughtful mom, who are still holding onto their secret photo-shoot to share on Father's Day.  Pretty tough to do for a 6 & 4 year old, but last I heard they are holding strong, I wish I had that kind of patience.  The minute I buy a gift I can't wait to give it...and I normally do.  (so if I haven't presented you with your gift or told you about it...I haven't bought it yet LOL!)

Isabella & Jack - You guys did Awesome...you did too mom!  I particularly loved the Brewers theme from Dad's number 1 fans :).

The tutu featured is from Chubby Cherubs if anyone is interested as well!

Thanks for a great time.
