OUT OF THE OFFICE

Just a quick note.. I will be unavailable until October 7th.. I will be celebrating the big 3-0! I will return all phone calls and messages when I get back.

My (Husband's) Family

Over the weekend we got together with my husband's family and did some photos. It was quite the task to not only take the photos, but also be in them! I had to make sure I didn't rub my make-up off on the camera when framing the shot... and then I had to hurry up and get into position before the timer went off... good thing that's not how I have to to do every shoot. All in all it was so fun to get together, especially since we got to go out to eat at a great restaurant afterward!

Alisa and Sam - Married!

Alisa and Sam were married September 18th! I know I'm a little slow in getting this up, thanks so much for your patience. Back to their wedding, which was awesome! I was also very surprised by how great they did for photos!! Every time I met with Alisa and Sam before the wedding they both seemed quiet and reserved, but on their big day they total let loose had fun and as a result got some stellar shots!! Congrats you two!

Dancing with the Eau Claire Stars!

On Friday evening the Eau Claire Children's Theatre held their second annual "Dancing with the Eau Claire Stars," fund raising event. It was another great show! I have so much admiration for all of the performers who are brave enough to go through the long hours of training and then perform in public. They all did great and should be very proud they helped support a wonderful organization in the Eau Claire community!

Nicole & Bob - Engaged!

Last week I photographed Nicole and Bob's engagements. They have a fall wedding planned and if this kind of weather continues they are going to have a gorgeous fall day to go with their beautiful wedding! Congratulations and I'm looking forward to the big day!

Lacy & Mike - Engaged!

I'm very excited for Lacy & Mike's wedding. It's this winter at a historic building in St. Paul. I can't wait to photograph their wedding using that wonderful architecture as a background! So I met with them yesterday for their engagements. Lacy did a great job picking a location. It was a spot I haven't photographed yet, so it's always fun to go to a new place. They are also such a nice couple, it always makes the shoot that much easier and fun!

New Baby "N"

I love newborn shoots! They are so tiny, new, and cute. This little guy was no exception. It was so funny when we were trying to get him to sleep.. he seemed to have no interest in that at first. Instead of falling asleep he just laid there with his hands folded over his chest watching us. It was beyond cute! Congratulations to their wonderful new addition!

Mr. Personality!

I can't believe this little guy is already two! It seemed like only yesterday I was taking his baby photos, and I can remember that session too! It's so fun to be able to watch and capture children as they grow and change. At his one year photos he was barely talking and walking... now first thing he said to me was "Hi Kathy!" and then took off running! So fun!

Fun in a Tutu!

This week I met a lovely little 1-year-old girl! She looked so cute in her tutu and headband, I just loved it! Although I don't think she was as crazy about it as her mom and I, but that's how it goes at that age.
