This has been the year for family sessions. We all have spent more time home together this year than most years and I’m so grateful families have reached out to document this time together. Back in September I was able to visit the Heidemann family at their new home to document their lovely family again - I photographed this crew back in 2018 when their second son, Adler was just born, it was so lovely meet him as a toddler and see my buddy Ezra again.

It has been a season of family session for me and this year has been such a reunion of past wedding couples! Natalie and Nathan got married back in 2018 and i got to document that wonderful day and this year they welcomed their sweet baby girl, Natalie to their family. I went to visit them earlier this summer and did a distant session of them at their home and it was so wonderful documenting them in this new role as parents.

I photographed Katie and Trent when they first got engaged then I documented their wedding day and when their first was born I did a session with them in their condo and now they have 2 wild and lovely boys and they asked me again to come photograph life in their new home. I love this, and by this I mean couples coming back and asking me to photograph their life. So here is a Friday morning at the Osterholz Home.

I have a hard time putting my sessions into words - it’s not that I have nothing to say its more that I have too much to say and I don’t know how to put it into a blog or instagram post. I’ve known the Langs for several years now, I first heard about them after seeing some photographs they took for a mutual friend and I felt we would be kindred spirits solely based on their photography and when I finally had the chance to meet them I knew that I was correct. I’m so grateful to know Sarah and Eric and when Elsie came into the world I loved spending time with her as well. I’ve been photographing this family of 3 since Elsie was a baby and it’s honestly one of my favorite things to photograph - a family throughout the years, watching their routine change as their family changes - from sleepy mornings making coffee to evenings picking herbs for dinner and walking to get ice cream by the lake. Here is my latest session with them, about a month ago I came over to their house in the evening and tried to stay out of the way and witness their family in action.

As we all paitently await their new family member, I thought I would share our latest session with you all. A Sunday morning with the lovely Rajala family while it is still just the 3 of them. We cannot wait to meet your little one in (hopefully) just a few days!

I photographed Chloe & Mike's wedding in October of 2013 and since then, these two have relocated to Milwaukee, started new jobs and had a beautiful baby boy named Ace. Last week I had the opportunity to spend the morning in their lovely Bayview flat, documenting the life of this new addition.

A Saturday morning with the Copeland crew in their lovely home on the East Side of Madison.
