Long Over Due...Introducing Baby {C}

Holy cow..it's May...and hitting the 70's.  April was the fastest month ever!!  I had the best job lined up in April and that was to capture some pictures of newborn baby {C}.

A session to remember would have been the best title for this blog...if I could have gotten it up in time...but I have a very clear recollection of this little guys photoshoot.  His mom tried to warn me..he likes to be a stinker, but as a mom...nothing really fazes me much anymore...and shooting newborns you have to expect to get peed on a little.  BUT  {C} got me GOOD.  After having an explosion in his pants (which we swiftly worked together and contained and cleaned up) I carried him to the set up to start some diaperless shots, apparently he wasn't finished!  That's right!  He pooped on me :).  It was a funny start to a shoot and hearing my friend Jenny (his mom) crack up made it even better.  She is a great mom and I miss her in the office.....funny how maternity leave is WAY too long when you aren't the one at home!

Well we were able to get some sweet moments and I am grateful this friend hasn't unfriended me for taking my sweet time posting.  (excuses excuses but really a March birthday and then my baby turning 1 has been quite the busy spring!)

So...here he is!

I think this little boy has a Mustang in his future...

Welcome to the World Baby Chloe!

This angel is a fashionista at 3 weeks old....just like her momma, who couldn't be more excited about having this baby GIRL!  She is gorgeous and did so great at her photoshoot, although I don't know that she is going to be loving hats as much as her momma....but she hung in there for us anyway.  I'm so excited to share these shots, they make you want to just reach out and snuggle her.

Looking forward to the Next Chapter -Lainy

This fabulous Senior is on her way to a big bright future!  Coming to Milwaukee to visit her Dad brought her to me and we had a blast checking out the 3rd Ward, stopping in for wardrobe changes at random spots and almost falling in the river....those train tracks are quite the feat in heels.  I had on my trusty converse and was pretty nervous for me, but Lainy was a trooper and rocked it.  Note to self...new train track location...while I enjoy a little adventure...losing clients, a camera, or even a flip flop (almost happened...if you follow my blog you might recall that little mishap) could be more than I bargain for out there.

The best part of this shoot was hearing Lainy talk about her future and how exciting it was to get new clothes for the shoot and all the fun things that a high school senior has to look forward to, it takes you back to that time, which doesn't seem like it was so long ago.

Thanks Lainy for your fun adventurous spirit, and best of luck to you this year!

Baby Bella

Bella means beautiful right, well this little doll is certainly that!  She did so great at her first photoshoot!  Holding her head up and not even crying on tummy time :).  Its tough work to be a model, but she has a wonderful team of experts that were at hand to assist her and I couldn't have had it easier.

I was lucky enough to work with this little sunshine's grandma at my day job and clicked with her right away, I landed a new role on her team and you know how you start a new role and team and have a couple concerns about fitting in, she made me right at home.  We shared our fun stories and she was even one of the first people at work that new I was pregnant with Sydney!  She is truly the sweetest lady, and meeting her son and daughter in law and grand baby, it was no surprise they were the same.

I loved capturing this time with you guys and hope you like your pictures!  I can't wait for her next picture session....summer will be perfect for buggy shots!!  Woo woo.

Take care and talk to you soon -Shelley

Baby {B}

This little girl has quite the smile...she's surrounded by ladies who show her how to put on the shine :).  Everytime her momma entered the room she lit up...then her sister...and her other sister...one at a time came in and we saved her big brother for another time...but they all kept her in smiles for me.  I can't wait to see her soon and watch her grow...isn't she cute!

PS...to her momma...I officially joined Class A!  Your recommendation was awesome, I love it...as much as you can love having your butt handed to you by trainers...but its great and just what I needed.  I'm on the right track and might be wearing a tank top this summer yet :)

Guess Whoooo's 2! Mr. {L}

This handsome little devil spiraled into the studio and spun circles around his mommy and I!  What can you expect?  He's been running from me since before he could walk, lol.  Now he's just quicker...but I'm happy to say that my lens is faster.  The best part about this little man is when he does get going and gives you his kilowatt smile....he lights up the room!  I can't wait to capture him again with his little adorable sister soon :)

Little Baby {J}

Oh friends how I have missed you...or hopefully you have missed me!  It has been a little while..but life has been busy.  2 little girls, working full time, and shooting on the regular, if you throw a birthday party in there, phew how life gets nuts!  I do have some very very cute photos to share and apologize to all my faithful clients and readers alike for my slacking updates.....

So...starting with Baby J.  This cute little guy is quite the traveler already...he drove down with his parents from Michigan to visit family and visited me too :).  I was just a quick stop on his busy schedule!!  He wasn't too happy with being put in a suitcase...for the photo shoot...I think I need a bigger suitcase!  He did steal the show with his adorable big blue eyes and was perfect in the basket, I think the cozier blanket might have had something to do with it.  I loved spending time with this lil guy's parents, congratulations you two, you are great parents and I can't wait to catch up with you in the summer!

Best luck on your move to all the sunshine :)
