.mr. Jobie & one awesome mama.

This is one of my very best friends, Ksenija.  We have know each other for 15 years.  We were placed randomly as roommates on our study abroad program and have been friends ever since.  

Our lives since that time have had many parallels.  For a long time photography and the business occupied many of our talks as Ksen is a fantastic and wildly talented photographer as well (www.KsenijaSavic.com).  Boys that turned into husbands added to our many talks among 1000's of other subjects.  Soon after I my baby Ksen called to tell me that we once again were on the same path as she was pregnant!  I was overjoyed that we could have yet another topic that we could bond over!  

I was able to spend a weekend with her and her family recently and it was amazing.  I don't have the words to properly describe how great it was to spend time again in person.  The phone is a must but to have in person chats is the best.  I'm honored to be called her friend and am so thankful she is in my life.  Her heart, wisdom, perspective and love mean the world to me.  

I'm so pumped that she let me take photos of her and Jobie while we were visiting.  Like a lot of photographers, Ksen would prefer to be behind the camera.  She however recognized the value of capturing these moments.  When you watch on a daily bases an infant grow into a baby, and a baby grow into a toddler it is mind blowing how fast they change.  Thank you for trusting me with your baby, dogs and yourself. 

Keep up the good work mama.  You are doing a fantastic job!  All my love, M

 

 

 

 

 

 

.families summer 2014.

I wanted to give a massive shout out to all the families that have used me this summer to capture their growing families.  I feel so fortunate to work with such loving and fun groups of people on a weekly bases.
Admittedly I have fallen behind on my blogging as the busy season has gotten the best of me.  I did however want to share a few of my favorites from the last month.
Cheers to a great summer and lots of memories.

Meet our sweet dear niece Madeline!  Today is her first birthday and we couldn't be more in love with her.  We were super fortunate to be able to spend the weekend with her and her parents celebrating in Lake Geneva.  She has such a great personality and is full of smiles and giggles.  

There were so many fun images of her that I made a slideshow below.  Just look at her ... ADORABLE!!!  Thanks for coming to Wisconsin Maddie.  We loved celebrating with you.  

All our love, Em & Will
