The Hansen's

This was our last family for the weekend. Melanie & Sandy own the Flower Shoppe I & II in Gillett and Oconto Falls and do amazing work! Again it was a little chilly but we were able to get some really nice images of the family before the kids got too cold. I was even able to get the youngest one smiling which is something he wouldn't do for me in the past! Maybe the kids are starting to warm up to me more or they figure if they smile maybe he'll leave me alone! :-)

The Jackson's

Here is the Jackson Family. This session seemed to fly by. They were just so easy to photograph. We even managed to get a couple with their dog. However she got a little too excited so we finished the session without her. Mrs. Jackson is my son's 4K teacher and I'm pretty sure he has a little bit of a crush on her because I hear a lot about her around the house. Here are some of their images.

The Winkler's

It seems like this took forever to schedule the Winkler's session. Calendar conflicts and mother nature seemed destined to deny us. However, we did finally manage to get it done and got some great images with this family. I had a lot of fun and even managed to dodge some man eating killer lady bugs! And, I only had to yell at mom once for calling the boys cute in their football uniforms.

Kyle & Loryn

Here is Kyle & Loryn. I have photographed these kids before and Loryn is finally starting to warm up to me and smile more. Unfortunately this day it was anything but warm outside! 34 degrees with snow falling after the session! I felt so sorry for Loryn; she was absolutely frozen. But we still were able to get some really nice images and they went home to have some hot cocoa.

The Bursa's

Here is the Bursa family. I have photographed little Brady before and this session started out great! Brady was smiling and excited and having a great time. Then....he decided it would be more fun to run around instead of sitting and holding still. I have to admit, to me it was kind of funny. Although I'm not sure his parents agreed. We got some really nice shots anyway!

The Raatz's

We recently did our Fall Family Special and had beautiful color and great families to photograph. The weather on the other hand was not so spectacular. But we trudged through anyway. Here is my sister and her family. Every year we photograph them and every year it is a struggle with my nephew. For some reason he refuses to look at the camera. So this year I threatened him that I wouldn't buy him a Christmas present if he didn't cooperate. It worked!
