Happy bday Mom, & Congrats Dr. Lissa!

The week before Easter we had a party for my Mom's 60th birthday, and to celebrate my little sis graduating with a PhD in Math. We lucked into some nice weather (for once!) and had a great party!

I made birthday cupcakes, and my mom made "math" cookies. The writing on the cookies is random math "stuff" from my sister's thesis, plus some Nebraska cookies (where she went to grad school).




Here's Dr. Luckas's graduation photo (compliments of yours truly)...



And we set up a photo booth for the day- take a look at these cuties!

Lauren & Travis

A few of my faves from Lauren & Travis's engagement session-




We even ventured out in the cold and snow for a bit...




Check back for shots from their wedding this summer!

wild birds

I've spent some time stalking my mom's bird feeders to get photos of the birds. Here are a couple of my faves from this winter-

Killer hill

With all this snow, it's been a great year for sledding! Just a few shots from sledding at "killer hill" with my girls.

a couple of cuties

Here are a couple of real sweetie-pies I've photographed lately. First is Keely- what a ham~! And you have to love the shot of her with the dogs. One of my total faves lately.





And here is Henry (and family!) It was time to do the goldfish shot with him- one of my fave baby props. (And don't worry, the goldfish isn't real- it was added later digitally).





How lucky am I to get cuties like this to photograph?

I might be a little bit nutty...

But we've added yet another bird to the Line household!

He's an older cockatiel that we adopted through freecycle. His name is Rochmonanov (we didn't name him!) but it's Rocky for short. A very sweet old guy, but he doesn't care much for the parakeets. (They can be pretty pesky!) He totally adores Bea, though, and loves to take a shower with her.

Here he is with the rest of the crew. Rocky is on the left, then Boojie and Snyper, and last Fifi. Aren't they a cute bunch?

Fun at the bridal fair

We had a great turnout again at our booth at the Belmont Bridal Fair. It was exciting to debut our new wedding albums and our newest offereing for this year- the wedding photo booth! For more info on the photo booth, check out the website, or contact Amanda.

We had a giveaway for free sessions again, and our winners are-

Complimentary engagement session and prints- Nakila Hochhausen of Potosi
Complimentary senior session and prints- Sara Thomas of Prairie du Chien

Congrats to both of our winners!
