De Pere, Wisconsin A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to have a family session at Fonferek Glen Falls with the Kunkel’s. The family photos were inspired by Josh & Brittney’s 10th Wedding Anniversary and if you havn’t seen those photos yet, make sure you do! beautiful family session at Fonferek Glen Falls The […]
On Christmas Eve while laying our heads down to sleep we heard a slight rustling around outside our home. When our security camera alerted me that something was outside our door. I ignored it because we had just let the dog in and sometimes there’s a delayed reaction. I really didn’t think Santa Claus had […]
This Halloween Spiderman is making his neighborhood rounds in Allouez. This year I got lucky and Cole wanted a Spiderman costume he found on Amazon. Thank goodness too because my schedule was swamped and although I like to plan ahead and make time especially for sewing his costume. This year I just didn’t and felt […]
The last few years we’ve created a new holiday tradition by visiting the historic town of Cedarburg, Wisconsin south of us about 1.5 hours. We adore this tradition for many reasons but our two most loved reasons are visiting Santa in his workshop and selecting a few new handmade ornaments from Germany for our tree at home. This has become a special weekend for us every December.
Kypton x Natalia are very special in our home. They were our first friends in Green Bay. Our first session with Natalia was when we celebrated this little cutie below being in her belly and she had just moved here from Arizona. What started as a Maternity Session turned into a friendship for both Cole & I. We’ve had many lunch & play dates with the boys and they have became best little buddies.
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.
Each summer we find ourselves in the field picking more berries than we could ever eat. It’s a tradition we started when Cole was an infant. This August we found ourselves on a weekend trip where we went Blueberry picking in Bayfield, Wisconsin. The homeschool Mom in me won’t let an outing like this go […]

How many places in the US can you find beaches, emerald waters, fantastical shallow bluffs, pine trees forests, sand dunes, meadows, cherry orchards, and historic fishing towns? As […]
