I think I might need a little girl someday.

That's exactly what I was thinking as I edited these pictures! My cousin Angie's daughter Charly is such a cute little girl and is always on the run (reminds me of a certain little boy I know!) We had been trying to get her session in for a couple of weeks now, but were rained out twice! So I was so happy to see sunny skies yesterday.

We started out with some pictures in Charly's big girl room before heading to the park to play. Charly turns two in just a couple of weeks and will be a big sister not too much longer after that!

















Thanks, Angie and Charly, for a fun afternoon! Hope you like the pictures!

The Fischer family

For Alyssa, it was one of these kind of days...


But for Samantha, it was more like...


Regardless, we still got lots of beautiful pictures of both of them (and mom and dad too!)













Please pray for this beautiful little girl as she will be undergoing surgery on Wednesday!!


Thanks, Angie and Mark, for bringing your girls out for photos! God's blessings to you this week!

Ideas for Christmas Presents

If you are looking for a unique Christmas present for someone, I have an idea for you! Below you can see some artwork that I have made using pictures of items that resemble letters. The pictures used below all were taken at my grandparents' farm. You could order the ones you see below or I could make a custom one for you with your choice of words and text. Colors and sizes can be customized as well!






Another idea for a personalized present would be to spell out someone's name. I recently made one for a wedding present...

I want to post a picture of the actual finished product so you can get an idea of what they look like, but waiting for the sun to come out! (I'm primarily a natural light photographer!) Maybe tomorrow...

You can order these as an unmounted print, a print mounted on 2mm styrene or a 3/4 inch standout (not requiring framing), or even as a download that you can print on your own. Please contact me for prices or with questions!

Brrrrrrr....

I'm back with the rest of Aaron, Katie, and Rylee's sneak peek! We met last weekend early in the morning at Main Street in St. Charles...and it was COLD! Like 38 degrees cold. But I think they did a great job of not complaining and not looking cold in the photos! And speaking of not complaining, Katie told Aaron and Rylee that they were not allowed to ask if we were done yet and promised them breakfast out and a trip to the pumpking patch if they cooperated...so I just kept shooting :) Apparently bribery works, because I love these pictures of them!

And I love how they make one another laugh! I have so many cute pictures of them laughing together!







This pose was all them...I came around the corner and they had themselves all set up!
