Extended Family Session in De Pere | The Spinler Family | Green Bay Family Photographer

arrow

Family

After photographing a good amount of extended family sessions this year. I honestly think every family should have photos taken any time the whole family comes together. The Spinler siblings made it a priority to get their whole family together for fall family photos this year. This Family Session in De Pere was a gifted […]

Cutting down our Christmas Tree at Whispering Pines Tree Farm 2019

Personal

Did you hear that my dream is to one day own a tree farm? Going to the tree farm every year is easily our favorite family activity of the year. I was talking to a cousin last week and we both agreed the experience we had as children playing in the frozen creek, riding the hayride out to the fields, playing hide n’ seek between trees around the property (the secret to winning is building a team and having walkie talkies guys), excited to come across Grandma who had a bag full of fresh baked cookies (peanut butter with a hershey’s chocolate in the center or buckeye’s are my favorite, just in case you’re in the baking mood, wink) and gold fish crackers in individual bags for all 18 grandkids.

Sunken gardens, peonies, statues, a gazing pool, & much more around this tranquil estate. I snapped a few photos of our nephews and Cole playing throughout the gardens, a few of Troy’s Mother who the kids call Gigi with two of her Grandson’s, and a few of my Sister-In-Law Amy with her sweet family of four.

Yesterday we spent the Day together, Cole & I. We woke up slow and enjoyed our breakfast together. We flew planes & kites at the park. He picked dandelions for me and made sure I opened his gifts to me.

We had a lot of fun and it was just the frozen adventure we were looking for this time of year. Anyone else have cabin fever ??

Apple Picking at Oneida Apple Orchard in Green Bay

Personal

It seems like all we are doing during the fall is picking apples. Cole eats so many apples, this kid should never have to worry about liver or skin issues for a lifetime. Our hands down favorite location is the Oneida Nation Apple Orchard.
