The Friermood Family | Baby Violet | Hayward, WI

Introducing: Baby Violet Friermood

I am thrilled to be sharing the newest member of the Friermood family with you today on the blog : ) I was lucky enough to photograph their first child Ryan ( blog post here) and when Leandra’s thoughtful friends emailed me wanting to surprise her with a newborn session, I was so excited to meet another baby Friermood again! 

An added bonus, these two live in one of our favorite WI Northwood’s places so naturally, I was eager to head up north to meet sweet baby Violet! Fortunately, we had a really mild December day and were actually able to catch the sun outside their quaint and cozy home :) 

Since the weather has been so warm lately, Ryan got to experience his winter boots for the first time and once we went outside, he DID NOT want to come back in :) I loved watching Ryan and his Dad explore their property while Leandra lovingly held her brand new (and SLEEPY) baby :) 

Congratulations to the Friermood’s and thank you for letting me join your family for the afternoon! 

Merry Christmas to you all!!

One peek at this adorable bunch and you can hands-down see why I am in love with family sessions! We managed to scrape up the last bits of fall color and the boys were both cooperative and adventurous (the perfect combination for a happy photographer!!). I am so thankful to have closed out my fall season with them :)

I am delighted to share Stephen’s sunny senior session with you on this gloomy, Wisconsin Sunday morning! I was lucky enough to work with the Manke’s for their family session last fall and I knew that Stephen would be a blast to work with! And his session did not disappoint! After multiple attempts to reschedule (thanks Wisconsin weather :) we were blessed with the most perfect morning I could have imagined! The light was absolutely dreamy!!
