This past summer (if September is still considered summer?) my children and I were able to do something I have been wanting to do FOREVER. Go to Mt. Rushmore! Since my husband is from South Dakota, I always relied on his opinion that it “wasn’t that much to see”. Well I am here to state that he was dead WRONG. We had the best time! It was so worth the extra driving we had to do to get to it. Even the little ones were fascinated. . .

Rya…my budding little photographer

and the part that freaks me out about her being a “budding little photographer”…the attempts at photographing mommy…fortunately the photo from the other end is nowhere to be found! Huh…wonder how that happened?

peace and much love, ♥ anya

baby elissa is growing up!

I had the pleasure of photographing this wee one just a few days after she was born.

These photographs were taken back in August when she was 6 months old and I realized that I had not blogged them! Shame on me!!!! And why am I so shameful? Because in a couple of weeks I will be taking her ONE year old photos…and here I still haven’t blogged the ones from her 6 month old session. Ooops! Sorry baby girl I promise to do better next time…

she LOVES having a towel on her head…LOL!

peace and much love ♥ anya

On my last photo session visit to Madison, my family and I were able to spend some time with our best buddies….the Anderson family. We all got jacked up on caffeine, had some great food, great conversation, and watched our kids play with each other. That ended up being Zebby irritating his sister and making her cry (thus needing her mommy), Annika adopting another family in the store and playing a rousing game of Memory with them, and Rowan doing what Rowan’s do best….Eat! I will have to admit that I totally MISS Ancora coffee in Fitchburg. They have this yogurt and granola breakfast that is to DIE for! I will also have to admit that their coffee is pretty darn great as well

On a side note…to get rid of the 7 million spam comments I had in my account, I inadvertently had to delete all comments. Okay, I will admit it, it wasn’t me…it was my computer geek.

It was a ton of comments and I am so sad to see them gone from my blog, but so thankful to all that took the time to comment. From now on, however, comments work.

peace, much love, and great coffee ♥ anya

dylan turns one!

Yet another little wee man I photographed one year ago…when he was teeny…and tiny… Now he is all grown up and eating cake (and apparently candles too!).

Dylan also loves to read….this was by far one of my FAVE photos from this session.

And this one…this one just cracked me up!

peace and much love ♥ anya

this cute little bub gave me a great big hug the minute I walked in the door! I think he knew we were going to eat cake and splash in the bathtub… because THAT is the kind of fun Anya likes to have at one year old baby sessions.
