Reese Turns ONE! {Madison, WI First Birthday}

My sweet niece Reese turned one this past weekend and we celebrated her in style! You know I had to take some photos to document her big milestone and she was one of the easiest one-year olds I’ve ever photographed!! (I think it helped that her big sister was assisting me!) Usually it’s the other way around when it comes to my nieces :) Reesie is a March 1st baby so we did a spring theme for her photo shoot - tulips and tutus. She’s going to grow up to love tulips like her Auntie Coney, I just know it. I even got to be in a photo with her and her big sister. Thanks so much to my sister for grabbing a quick photo of us all.

I love you, baby girl!

Bubble Run!

My sister and all of her little ladies participated in the Bubble Run back when I was in Madison this summer. I went to watch them (even though it meant crawling out of bed way before I usually rise!) and you just know I had to bring my camera. I had no idea what to expect, but was enamored by the whole thing! I thought I'd just grab a few photos of my family finishing the race but I had a blast taking photos of different parts of it. It was fascinating to me, but my younger nieces hated it and I couldn't help but think it was a little funny. To be fair, though, the bubbles were higher than them! At the finish there was a DJ and a "cannon" of bubbles that people could dance around in. Those ended up being my favorite photos, watching the girls be wild and free. Summer at its finest. 

My nieces. Avianna didn't love it!

That's my sister and she's pushing a stroller under alllllll of those bubbles!

Peek-a-boo! Look who was under that blanket of bubbles and was clearly thrilled!

Aurelia hated every part of this morning! 

Wray bubblers unite.

Favorite photo! She looks SO happy!

I normally prefer portrait sessions over event photography, but after photographing a 5k earlier this year and taking these photos at the Bubble Run, I have to say that races are extremely fun to document. There's so much energy, emotion and positivity and I get caught up in all of it.
