If you haven’t peeked yet, check out our new Appleby Photography site! We have had a lot of compliments on how much easier it is to use. The extra information and separation of weddings and portraits has made the site very “user-friendly.” Also, check out the links in our recommended vendor section!

So Many Cute Kids!
I really am going to make an effort to post more studio images! I’ve photographed so many cute kids lately, that I HAVE to share! Here are two adorable boys that paid me a visit recently.
Kristin & John
How Charming!
Weddings are about family. Honoring loved ones that are no longer with us is a special way to acknowledge their importance in our lives. Bouquet charms is one way to do that. Brides will attach photo charms of special family members, such as grandparents, to honor their memory. Later, these charms can be added to a charm bracelet, or even hung from ribbon to be be used as a special holiday ornament. We offer charms, starting at $42.
So Many Details…
Mandy & Sean
New Location, New Direction
I was absolutely sure that 2009 was going to be a defining year for me. And it was, just not in the way I had expected. The last year and a half has brought a lot of changes to our business and family.
One change I was not expecting was to have such a staggering amount of our portrait sessions take place at locations other than the studio. And I have learned that I love it, which was such a huge surprise to me.
Also, we welcomed our fourth child in December of 2009. At a time when we already had a 2, 3, and 9 year old, Leo’s arrival took more planning and organizing then we thought, and was actually easier than we imagined. Having four children is more work than three children, but we are learning to adapt to the constant level of chaos and wouldn’t change it for the world.
As 2010 moves forward, we have come to realize we need to allow our business to evolve to move forward with the changes within our lives. While we completely adore the beautiful old building that currently houses Appleby Photography, we have decided that it is time to relocate the studio back into our home (and perhaps a bigger one), as it was 6 years ago. This will allow us to more easily work with our clients on location and in their homes, while allowing us to spend our production time with our family.
And knowing that the only constant is change, we are looking to the future with new ideas and directions for Appleby Photography, as we feel we have more changes ahead. We hope you will stay tuned!

New “Mom” Tattoos
What mother wouldn’t love to have “Mom” tattooed on her son’s arm?
We always knew he loved mom best!
Farm Animals at the Zoo
Madison is very different than the dairy farm I lived on as a small girl. So, I have often wished for farm animals at the Henry Villas Zoo, thinking my children would love to see “regular” animals. I am so excited that will be a reality next summer! The Children’s Zoo section will have a new barn, and once complete, will be home to goats, sheep, pigs, alpaca, and other animals. The barn will also have a replica silo, windmill, and tractor for kids to climb on. My kids will love it!
