This past year I have walked into past client homes for second, third, and even fourth sessions…and it has been such a joy to see my work hanging proudly in their homes. My favorites are big canvas…and I could not wait to see how Elissa’s mama and daddy had hung this one. You can really never go wrong with a large canvas. It is one big beautiful piece of art…that represents YOU! Soon I will share how one of *my* fave photographers, who photographed my family this past October, decorated my home with canvas. I walk in my home every day and smile at the gorgeous art work that is *my* beautiful family.

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!

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!

Hello dear blog readers! I am writing to let everyone know that I have decided to take a bit of time off. I did not realize how significantly I would be affected by our move up north. Having kids at home all the time through the summer, reorganizing a new house, hubby having a new job, getting the kids settled in their various new schools, etc….. has required me to be so busy with my home life that I am unable to find the time for a professional life.

I will be compiling a waiting list for clients who would like sessions after October, 2009. Current clients of mine who have already discussed sessions with me do not need to worry I will still be photographing your family/wee ones as promised.

Alas I have no image to post as all of my images are on my Mac which is currently being utilized as a kiddy daycare.

Yup, you read that right. I am moving. Well, actually, I already moved. To the east side…..of Wausau, Wisconsin. To a deluxe castle-home in the north-woods. Filled with deer, wild turkey, bears, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and various ground squirrel and mouse that our cat-hunter decides to bring home as a “present”. So what does that mean for my lovely Madison clients???? It means that once a month I schedule Madison sessions!!!! Or at a discounted price you can come up to me and have your photographs taken in my beautiful prairie and woods OR in my lovely natural light home studio. Just contact me for details.

In other news, have you been trying to get ahold of me via phone???? If so, please email me as my phone service since I have moved has “sucked” for lack of a better term. In fact, Verizon is even willing to let me out of my contract it sucks so bad. I haven’t been able to pick up messages well, make phone calls, etc…. So while I search for another service (yes, AT&T and the rockin I-phone 3G are in my sights!!!!), please contact me via the contact page on my website or by emailing anya@anyawait.com and I will get right back to you

To top all this contacting me stuff off, my address doesn’t exist on the postal service map OR mapquest. So UPS and FED EX have had a crazy time attempting to deliver my orders. I have chased boxes all over the country and back and am now FINALLY receiving stuff so that I can complete orders and mail them off. Double, triple and quadruple UGH!!!! I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

And because I cannot post without an image……as well as the fact that I literally have not gotten my camera out since we moved…..here is an lovely image copyright my 5 year old daughter Annika. She took this and “processed” it with photobooth on the Mac. And I am in LOVE with it.

Enjoy!

love and peace ♥ anya, annika, rowan, and daddy’s rear end

Meet itty bitty Kaitlyn who was also born early! Her mommy graduates from medical school on Friday. Congratulations!!!! What a fantabulous year (my spell checker says fantabulous is not a word….I respectfully disagree). Needless to say, Kaitlyn had bunnies hopping around her house….yes, actual LIVE bunnies. My kids are uber jealous of me today. So, of course, I had to put her in the little bunny foo foo hat.



a little something different….because the kids are at guitar, Rowan is sleeping, and I have time to play a bit

peace and much bunny love ♥ anya

Who was photographed at the perfect time for mid-year baby photos. 6 months! When babies can sit up on their own (or minimally supported) but can’t crawl or walk away yet. I am just in love with his smoochy little happy doll face!!! And those eyes…..I just had to have at least one in color. To show off the gorgeous color of his beautiful eyes. YUMMY!

I just love the connection in this photo!











I think dad was doing some kind of weird dance behind me for this one…. whatever it takes, right? LOL!

At first he was not very interested in having his clothes removed for nakey baby pictures. In fact, I was actually afraid to remove his clothes starting off. For fear that our sleep time would be over…. Fortunately he got all nice and cozy and warm. And let me have my way! For some reason the babies this week have not wanted any tummy poses. Usually I will have one or two who just say NO to tummy poses. But all of them? I think it was a bit of a baby conspiracy.



I just love the look of this shot….the mix between his sweet little baby clothes and his adorable little newborn face.

I will have to admit that I was quite enthralled with his delicate baby features.

It is going to be one crazy newborn fiesta this week as I have 3 (yes, 3!) more newbies to photograph this week and one that I think is still in mama’s belly waiting to arrive

This big sister could not WAIT to be photographed with her little baby sister. To top it off, she showed me some acrobatics on my beanbag that I am hoping (cross my fingers) my Annika and Rowan never figure out. Otherwise we will probably spend a lot more time than we already do at the “Doctor Store”….as Annika refers to the Emergency Room. LOL!

Snug as a bug in a rug!







Daddy’s little girl….







A little mommy love….

Peace and Love ♥ Anya
