FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY WAUSAU WI | THE LOY'S!

Rows and rows of charming trees with red polka dots, crisp fall air, and a family tradition: apple picking! We've always wanted to photograph a complete session at an apple orchard in the fall! :) Luckily Emily & Michael loved the idea as well, and we had so much fun with them and their two beautiful girls, Olivia & Charlotte, as we made our way around Helene's Hilltop Orchard! This family is truly too cute for words and they're an inspiration to us for the kind of family we hope to one day have.

Emily & Michael, thank you SO much for choosing us for your family photography!! :)

Love, Kelsy & Butch

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY WAUSAU WI | LESLEY, JASON & AUDEN!

How adorable are these three!! After photographing Lesley & Jason's engagement and amazing backyard wedding, we were crossing our fingers that we might have the honor of meeting their sweet little man on one of their trips back to Wausau. As it turned out, they were home just a couple weeks ago and we adored capturing them as the loving parents that they are to their already-trendy little one, Auden. As we've jokingly mentioned to Lesley & Jason before, they are truly one of the most creative, stylish and fun couples we know, so it didn't surprise us one bit when Auden was dressed in the cutest outfit on the planet!! He loved flying high in the sky in his Mom & Dad's arms, and seeing his reflection in the mirror brought out so many cute little expressions! :)

Lesley & Jason, thank you guys so much for spending the afternoon with us! We're so happy for you – you sure have a sweetheart on your hands and we cannot wait to see Auden grow!

Love, Kelsy & Butch

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHERS WAUSAU WI | JOACHIM IS ONE!!

Somehow, this darling little one is already ONE year old!!! We first met Joachim and his parents, Dominee & Hector, at the end of 2012, and since then we've had the absolute pleasure of seeing them every few months throughout Joachim Bradley's first year! We had so much fun watching him grow and capturing his personality (& too-cute outfits!) on film – what a giant honor!! After photos in their light-filled sunroom, we snuck outside for a few images and also to capture Joachim's first time in the SNOW! This was so adorable and we think it's safe to say that he might prefer summertime... not that we blame him one bit, haha! ;)

Peek back at Joachim's newborn session, four month session & 8 month session to see the sweet little boy he's become! We feel so lucky to have been able to document this first year that goes by oh-too-fast :)

Love, Kelsy & Butch

WISCONSIN FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | THE WOLTERS

On a bright & crisp afternoon we spent time with Danielle, Keith and Paige for their mini family session. We first met Danielle during Paige's newborn photos in 2012 and were so excited to plan another session with the entire family!! From the moment we arrived Paige was already doing work on our hearts. She is an absolute DOLL! Paige gave us countless cute looks and we couldn't get enough of her little smile & giggle! She loved kisses from her Mom & Dad, and had the cutest wiggle-run before getting scooped up in their arms. SO grateful to have captured this adorable little family! :)

Last week we had the pleasure of photographing the Severson family on a perfect fall evening! Are they an adorable bunch, or what?!! It was as if our cameras had magnets that made us point them at Lillian's contagious, cheerful smile and Everett's fast-moving steps!

Kristin & Chris, thank you guys so much for spending time with us! We had so much fun and are grateful to have photographed your cute little family!!
