Wisconsin Badgers vs. Michigan State - Big 10 Tournament [Chicago, IL]

My home state Badgers are playing Michigan State today in the Big 10 Tournament and I couldn’t help but reminisce on these past newborn sessions that incorporated both teams. I LOVE March basketball season and excitement is in the air, especially with the tournament being here in Chicago. Both of these babes come from a house divided and though it pained me to include Spartan things in their photos(!) I now love that little E is a Spartan fan like his mom and little H is a Badger girl like her dad! The fun competition in this family makes me smile! May the best team win but… Let’s Go Bucky! #gored

Reese Turns ONE! {Madison, WI First Birthday}

My sweet niece Reese turned one this past weekend and we celebrated her in style! You know I had to take some photos to document her big milestone and she was one of the easiest one-year olds I’ve ever photographed!! (I think it helped that her big sister was assisting me!) Usually it’s the other way around when it comes to my nieces :) Reesie is a March 1st baby so we did a spring theme for her photo shoot - tulips and tutus. She’s going to grow up to love tulips like her Auntie Coney, I just know it. I even got to be in a photo with her and her big sister. Thanks so much to my sister for grabbing a quick photo of us all.

I love you, baby girl!

Chicago Smash Cake - One Year Old -Roscoe Village

This sweet little lady turned one and had an in-home smash cake session recently. The theme from her birthday party was Dirty Dancing, so the theme continued for some of her photos as well! I think it’s safe to say she loved her cake and I LOVE how well chocolate frosting shows up for photos :) Happy first birthday, sweet, happy girl!
