Outdoor Summer Photo Session on the Farm - Madison, WI

Wow, I haven’t blogged in forever! The end of summer and all of fall got away from me as I was in the midst of the busiest year I’ve ever had. Hooray for that, but sorry to the blog for neglecting you. I was working on a print order today from this session that was in honor of my niece’s third birthday, back when it was warm, sunny and just plain summer. How I miss those days already! These sweet little ladies of mine have already changed so much since June, when these were taken, but I will love these photos forever and be reminded of their sweetness, silliness, spunkiness and these crazy curls that were enhanced by the insane wind on the farm that day!

If you’re wondering where the boys are…. there are none! We are a girls-only family - which makes me think the next session should have a ‘no boys allowed’ handmade sign drawn by one of these cuties ;P I’m guessing by then my luck of getting them all to look at the camera will have run out! They sure gave me a run for my money this time but I love them so. Nothing is better than being “Auntie Coney” in my world. xoxo

Lillian is one! Chicago One Year Old Birthday Photo Session - Chicago, IL

I’ve been photographing this little lady since she was in the womb and then when she made her earthside appearance! It’s always so much fun to watch these babies grow up and see their personalities start to come through. Miss L had a “Baby Shark” themed birthday party (sorry if that song is now in your head!) so we took some photos in her adorable birthday onesie & matching tutu. Mom and Dad also had shark-themed shirts! She had an outfit change, plus a snack break because let’s be real - being photographed is hard work! Then we headed outside among the lilacs and played with Oliver, her 4-legged BFF. Happy birthday sweet girl!

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!
