A Boy and His Boxer

Happy Friday!! Who is spending time with their family this weekend? This fun fall session started out as a shoot with a boy and his dog, meant to be a gift for mom, then turned into a full family session! I love the fun and excitement that come from enjoying a session with an amazing family like this one... so much love and silliness. I loved how they brought in their Wisconsin spirit with a packer jersey!! We had fun strolling through the nature preserve, chasing Ike the dog, and trying to get stolen shoes back from him again! It is very special to be invited into these moments as a photographer... I find myself thinking about how lucky these experiences make me, and how enriching it is to spend time with families, learning about them, sharing in the fun, and photographing their memories. - SJR

Bubba's Family Portrait Session

Happy Friday, all!! I love it when I have the opportunity to work with relaxed families... going for a stroll, taking photos, enjoying nature, and learning more about the people I photograph. I've always felt that photographing is a great way to get to know people, and I definitely enjoyed my time out and about with this awesome family and their sweet dog, Bubba. Cal came along for this one to be an extra set of hands for Bubba, since he's got a sweet spot for puppies and dogs. We loved the chatter between these sisters and just had an all around great time with this close knit family. - SJR

Dream Park Family Session

I had so much fun with this Super Hero Family at Dream Park in Monona, WI. Such a cool place... I highly suggest that you check it out. A fun visit for kids, and kids at heart! We did this family session as a prelude to mom and dad's wedding, which had a costume themed reception. Such a sweet, wonderful family... I feel much safer knowing the city is being protected by these Super Heroes under cover! - SJR
