On-line Ordering

To streamline on-line orders, all orders placed through the website will now be shipped directly to you. This will allow us to get your order to you quicker! Orders over $400 will receive free shipping! As the ordering website is separate from the studio, there is no option for special requests when ordering on-line. Special requests, albums, collections, etc. are still available however, and will need to be ordered directly through the studio, by appointment.

We Welcome with Love


We are happy to announce the arrival of our son, Henry William. He joined us on November 12th, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces, and was 21.5 inches long. We have included a few photographs taken at the hospital. Henry will have his first studio session very soon and will be featured in one of our display windows. We will let you know when we update them!

Quick Update

We are just posting quick to let everyone know that our new baby has arrived and everyone is healthy and doing good. We welcomed a boy on Monday. We’ll update soon with information and photos!

Limited Hours and Planning Ahead

We are expecting our new little baby any day now! Therefore, we are very limited in our availability for appointments for the next few weeks. If you need to get in touch with us, e-mail is best. We will also return voicemails, but probably not as quickly.

Also, now is a great time for you to plan ahead for portrait sessions and save! All sessions booked between now and December 7th will be at current prices for sessions, portraits, albums and wall groupings. This includes sessions that will be taking place over the next couple of months, not just through December. Sessions booked after December 7th will be at our new 2008 rates. Let us know if you have any questions and when you would like to schedule your session!

Happy Halloween!




Madalyn took forever to decide what she wanted to be for Halloween this year. So many options, only one day! Finally, she decided she wanted to be a University of Wisconsin cheerleader. And only a Badgers uniform would do! So, while it would have been cute to dress Lydia up like a cat (as in “copycat”) or a monkey (as in “monkey see, monkey do”), Lydia is a Baby Badger cheerleader.

Final Countdown!

With only a few weeks left until the baby comes, we have finally decided we need to start thinking of baby names. There is a lot of pressure to find the “perfect” name, especially when you need to take into account sibling names, last names, and preconceived impressions about names.

A fun name website is
http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html. Type in your name and see when its popularity was at its peak. The NameVoyager tracks names of babies born in the United States, as reported by the Social Security Administration, with data compiled from 1880 to 2005.

If you know of any other fun name websites, let us know!

Holiday Reminder

If you need portraits for the holidays, now is the time to get them done! We have a few more session times available that will still ensure that you have enough time to have finished portraits for holiday gift-giving. If you have already had your session, order your Holiday cards now! We have single-sided traditional cards, postcards, and folded greeting cards. Let us help you send personalized cards this year that your friends and family will cherish!

Goodbye Mary Beth!

Tonight, we had to say goodbye to our nanny, Mary Beth. It was very hard and there were a few tears shed. This summer, Mary Beth had discovered that Madalyn loves ABBA. She quickly learned all the lyrics and requested to hear ABBA every time they got into Mary Bath’s car. She has already started listening to the CD Mary Beth gave her as a “going away” present. We wish Mary Beth the best as she goes forward, with Master’s degree in hand. Also, we would like to welcome our new nanny, Maria. We are excited to get to know her.
