I have never done mini sessions before and was a little hesitant when my wonderful PR/marketing lady Ms. Jennifer Braun suggested it. Needless to say, I had the BEST time with 10 wonderful families! To top it off, since this was also a charity promotion, this means that 10 sessions (by yours truly) have now been donated to the Male Involvement Project of the Dane County Parent Council. I can’t WAIT to meet these wonderful families as well
Since I took a zillion images and I have only so much room, here is a mini sample. If you click on the little hearts to the left, that will direct you to my Facebook Business Page where you can see more!

the lovely Barker children….their parents own the McFarland House Cafe

I had the pleasure of photographing this little sweetie two weeks ago and this is the first chance I have had to blog some images from her session! We had a lot of fun hanging out together as you can tell ![]()

…but then she saw my sleep inducing ways … ok, maybe mama’s milk had a ‘little’ to do with it …

I wonder what she is thinking…. (?)



peace and much baby love, ♥ anya

I had the best time photographing and hanging out with these sweet little triplet boys this weekend! They were not so interested in my devious plans to get them all not only sleep all at once…but let me manhandle them all at once
They were ON to me! Regardless, I just ADORE the last image of them. Thanks guys!





much love, peace, and kisses ♥ anya

Happy Mother’s Day! A tribute to all of you who have forever chosen to wear your heart outside your body
Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your lives. I am forever grateful.

Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while,
but their hearts forever – unknown

We had the pleasure of having dinner with some wonderful Wisconsin doc’s this past week… Their home was a kid paradise…with none other than a pony and a beautiful horse! Annika was insistent that she be able to hop on the pony. Mommy was insistent (of course) that she get some pictures. Mommy was also thrilled to discover that young child on pony = no running away from photos. YAY!
This pose was all Annika’s idea …





all this crazy dude would let me get of him…little nut!

peace, and much (pony) love ♥ anya
Elissa turns one!

I have been photographing this wee one since she was in her mama’s belly and I have loved every minute of it! We had the best time playing last weekend. She rocked my world on both cake eating AND tutu wearing ![]()



her cake was sooooo pretty that I couldn’t resist a few in color

…and here are a few of my absolute FAVE’s!!!

nothing like a little cake tossing…

mt. rushmore . . .

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
coffee with the anderson’s . . .

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.
peace, much love, and great coffee ♥ anya

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
