2 months

Yesterday was Ian’s two month check up. A couple of pounds here, a couple of inches there… boy of boy, he sure is growing fast!

The shots, on the other hand, were not so easy to live with. It was hard for us to watch him cried and screamed and couldn’t do anything about it. Despite our feelings, we can only hope that this gets easier as he grows older.

To remind us of the happier times, this was taken on this year’s Halloween. No candy for him though, not yet, but the costume was essential. : )

From her amazing engagement session to her fabulous wedding, I have gotten to know Mary better and I truly enjoyed working with her. So for her bridal session, we decided to shoot at her parent’s beautiful farm in Wisconsin, and it sure was worth the trip!!

Mary’s mom, Laurie took these behind-the-scene photos. I’ve always wanted some of these — thank you, Laurie!!

You couldn’t tell by looking at the photos, but it was seriously cold the day of the shoot. We were all bundled up except for Mary — she rocked the shoot.

The picture below is Laurie’s interpretation of the shot above. I think I like her version better. (Photo taken by Laurie, post processed by me)

The sun was out briefly. It was gold.

Mary and Laurie, thank you for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to shoot at such a wonderful location. I had a great time there, and the hot cocoa was goooooood. : )
And Mary, enjoy your honeymoon and I look forward to working with you again!
