What a beautiful winter morning!!

This morning I woke up to find all the trees in our neighborhood covered in ice - my kids and I were commenting that it looked like a fairy tale, or a winter wonderland! So after we dropped my daughter off at school, my son and I headed to the local forest preserve to check out all of the beauty nature has to offer on a COLD winter morning!

This next one I was trying to catch the sun coming in through the trees, but I'm not sure I got exactly the look I was trying for. Forgot my lens hood, too! I still do like it, even if the sun is a bit bright and distracting... another one of those shots I was practically laying on my stomach in the snow to try to get the right angle!!

This one I converted to BW using an infrared filter... thought it gave it a really cool effect.

And one more showing the gorgeous bright blue sky:

OK, now we've had our share of snow... I'm ready for spring :)

A "Mini" Engagement Session...

Here's a couple quick photos I did for my cousin and her fiance... somehow we all coordinated our schedules (I'm in IL, they're in Milwaukee, but we met up in Appleton, WI!!) to meet for a brief e-session at the end of January.

They were such good sports - I had them go outside in the snow (it was about 6 inches deep - her poor feet were soaked!) for a few shots that turned out great!!

My assignment to them is that they practice "gazing lovingly" at each other before the wedding, because every time we tried that type of pose, they started laughing and we got this instead :) But I'm OK with that - I love this shot!!

My New Website is Live!!!

I'm so excited... I've gone live with my new website! Sadly, I've neglected my blogging in order to get the website up and running... but hopefully now I can be better about posting on here again :)

Past clients - go check it out... you may just see a face or two that you recognize! Be sure to send all your family and friends to check it out too!!
