Today was the Easter Egg Hunt for the local kids at the park.  Naturally I had my camera along and I got some cute pictures of our friend’s little ones.  They’re so cute!

This is Josie… she’s very excited for the prizes!

Gathering the loot:

Thank you Easter Bunny!!

Two weekends ago I was the event photographer for a Prom fashion show at the Washington County Fair Grounds.  It was a lot of fun and there were some BEAUTIFUL dresses!!  But, before we get into that, here are some detail shots:

These vests were from Diamond Formalwear in West Bend.  If you’re looking for a stylish look for prom, talk to Jeff! www.diamondtux.com

Here are some of the models!

There were also a lot of older dresses at the show!  It was really cool to see a bunch of youthful high school students wearing the dresses from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.  Here are some of my favorites:

And finally, some fun group pictures of all the models

With graduation quickly approaching, Michelle wanted to get some more senior portraits done for her graduation party invitations.  Who am I to deny an awesome photograph opportunity?  Michelle brought along her boyfriend Ryan and we had a bunch of fun photographing the two of them at the Milwaukee Domes!

You know, taking pictures of children is so much fun.  They all have such different personalities and they always are unpredictable.  What’s even MORE unpredictable is when you put a dog in the mix!  However, little D and his puppy were SO cute!  Happy first birthday D!

The F family was another awesome repeat family.  I last took their pictures in the fall when little S was only 9 months old.  Well, she is 1 year old now and FULL of personality.  It was so much fun to hang out with them for the afternoon, and I think it shows in the photos.  I hope you guys enjoy them!

For a super sneak peek of the “F” Family!!!!

This family is so much fun to shoot for.  They definitely have a lot on their plates with four beautiful girls!  I hope you guys enjoy your photos!

I love watching my clients grow up and this weekend I had the opportunity to go back to the B family’s home and photograph their family again!  It was very exciting!  I am not done editing the photos yet, but here is just a quick sneak peek!

It’s time for Faber Photography to find some Class of 2010 Senior Reps!  All reps receive fame, fortune, and a free session! Okay, well at least they’ll receive a free session!  I’m looking for one to two high school senior representatives for each area high school.  My reps will receive a free 1-2 hour portrait session with unlimited outfit changes, an on-line gallery to share with family and friends, rep cards, and $10 worth of print credit for every referral they bring in!  That’s right; you could earn free pictures too!  To apply, please e-mail me at faberphotography@charter.net or call 262-707-3131.  Space is limited!!!

One of the things I love about my job is that I get to see some of the cutest kids as they grow up!  Baby “A” is no exception.  This is the FOURTH photo shoot I have done with this adorable little girl.  It’s so much fun to go back to her house because every time she is doing something new and exciting.  This month was her 9 month photo shoot and she is ALMOST crawling and she has two adorable little “bunny teeth” (as daddy calls them).  So sweet!

 You may remember baby “J” from a few previous blog posts.  I have been lucky enough to photograph this cute little munchkin since he was still in the belly!  “J” is now 6 months old and cuter than ever!  He has such adorable blue eyes and really soft blond hair.  He’s going to be a heart breaker!  Enjoy.

The final couple from Chicago, Josie & Marco!  Josie & Marco are getting married in October down in Mexico, how exciting is that?  I guess they will have a lot of contrast in their photos since these were taken in 20 degree weather!

I hope you guys enjoy the photos!

Jaime and Woody are one of those couples that when you met, you just instantly want to be their friends. They are so fun loving and ready for anything. It really made for a fun engagement session in downtown Chicago!
It was a pleasure to meet you guys and I hope your wedding day is much warmer than your engagement photo day!

Here is another engagement session from Chicago.  Today we have Jaymie and Ales.  They have been together for 10 years, but you’d never be able to tell!  The passion between these two love birds is like that of a new couple.  It was really refreshing to see and inspiring too.  I hope you guys have a beautiful wedding!

Just two weeks ago I was in lovely (or freezing… which ever way you look at it) Chicago!  While there I did four engagement sessions, the first of which is Nina and Matt! 
Nina and Matt were an amazing couple!  You can just feel the love between them.  I hope you guys have an amazing wedding!

Yesterday was the Washington County Bridal Fair and I’d like to thank everyone who stopped out to see us!  It was a great success!

Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of taking pictures for the E family.  It was very cold, windy, and snowing outside, however I still think we got some great photos.  The love between them was adorable and their little puppies were cute too!

To see all of their photos, please click here.

Okay, let me just officially announce, it’s REALLY cold outside!  Despite the cold, Dylan needed his senior portraits taken, so off we went.  I probably wouldn’t have gotten nearly the extent of frost bite that I did had Dylan not made me laugh so much I had to stop every three seconds to catch my breath.  This fella is seriously fun.  Thanks for a fun morning and I hope you enjoy your photos!

I love repeat customers!  Baby Alayna is now 6 months old!  I can’t believe it!  I took her very first photos when she was 2 months old, and again at 3 months old.  She has changed SO much, however she still has the big beautiful brown eyes and those lashes… oh those lashes!

Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes.  Baby Brielee was born two weeks ago, and Saturday I was lucky enough to take her first professional photos!  The “T” Family was a pleasure to work with and their little boy Brett and I had a lot of fun building towers while Brielee ate a snack.  Thanks for spending the morning with me!

Well, today I think I will set a new record for the most pictures in a post!  I’m terribly sorry, because it will probably take forever to download all of them, but I just couldn’t choose!  Part of the reason for that is because Sunday’s session was for THREE families all at once.  So there are triple the amount of photos!  And the second part of the reason is because they are all so darn cute!!  So, hopefully you like them as much I do!

Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of taking pictures for the K Family.  A group of three young men who were actually quite a bit of fun to photograph.  To see all of the photos, click here.  Enjoy!

Yes, it was VERY cold on Saturday, but that didn’t stop any photo sessions!  Thankfully, I have the best clients in the world, so they always put on a brave smile and face the cold!  

Our friends Carrie & Tony wanted some new family portraits taken, so who was I to deny?!?  Well guys, what do you think?  To view all of the photos from Saturday, please click here.

I love this next picture for the front of a Christmas card! 

I couldn’t decide which of these next two were my favorite… so you get to see both!

Love is a beautiful thing, and it is such a wonderful feeling to capture for photographs.  This past Sunday I was thrilled to do a engagement photo session for Mark & Kirsten.  Kirsten had heard of me through her friend Sara (The F Family).  The two love birds had just recently gotten engaged and were ready to take some awesome photos, so that’s what we did!! 

To see all of the photos from Mark & Kirsten’s engagement session, click here!

I had to post this last picture because Mark’s son kept making really funny faces… but the moment the camera came out he’d quick hide them.  Well guess what D… I caught ya!

Sunday morning’s photo session started out as does any normal session… until the client arrived.  Everything was immediately different.  I was greeted by the happiest customer ever… Drake! 

I immediately knew that this photography session was going to be fun!  Drake’s mom had scheduled to get his picture taken along with his two brothers, Tux & Nick.  As happy as Drake was, pretty much sums up how UNHAPPY Tux and Nick were… you see, T&N are CATS, not dogs!  So the cold weather was not pleasant for them.  However, they cooperated beautifully and we got some great photos!

Ladies and gentlemen… Drake, Tux, & Nick

Now, I realize that not everyone will see things the way that I do… however I love this next picture.  Why?  Well, although Nick is not looking at the camera (again, NOT a happy cat!), the way that their mom is holding them the boys actually make a heart shape!  I think it’s such a perfect fit for this furry family!

This weekend was brutally cold in Wisconsin, however the “L” family braved the cold weather to get some family portraits taken.  I must say, I think they turned out great!

To view all of the photos taken on Saturday, click here!

This next photo is my favorite.  In my opinion little Austin looks like he’s in a modeling ad in this photo!

I had to post this next picture because it cracks me up!  Austin is just nicely gazing out the window… when baby-brother-zilla attacks!  I think it’s a hilarious picture.  Really, Bray was just giving Austin a kiss, but you’d never guess that from this picture!

That’s right folks, the time is NOW for ordering Christmas cards!  I offer many different designs and I also take custom orders.  Cards start at $25 for 10 and will vary depending on size, type, and quantity.  Here are some of my favorite designs!  Contact me today at faberphotography@charter.net if you’d like your family’s Christmas cards to stand out!

Sunday I had the opportunity to take senior portraits of the beautiful Nicole.  Nicole is a senior at West Bend West High School who plans on going to UW Milwaukee next year.  We had a lot of fun on her photo shoot and I hope she likes these photos!

To see all of Nicole’s photos, click here!

Here are the photos from Alex’s senior portrait session.  Alex is a senior at West Bend West High School.  Definitely a fun model, since he was very laid back and didn’t laugh too hard at my crazy ideas!  Thanks Alex!  I hope you guys like your photos!

Family sessions are so much fun, especially during the fall when we get to tromp through leaves!  The C family braved the weather, which actually turned out to be alright, last Sunday to get some great family photos.  I think they turned out great!

To see all the photos, click here.

Now, here is a picture, which probably isn’t the greatest showcase of my work… however how cool is this dog!  It’s not the kids playing with him, it’s him playing with the kids!  Turns out Coco LOVES going down the slide!  Isn’t that awesome?!

Fall is beautiful in Wisconsin, there is no doubt about that.  However, weather is undeniably crazy in Wisconsin!  All week leading up to Gabe & Elisa’s wedding the forecast for Saturday was miserable.  Cold, rainy, windy.  Terrible, basically.  However when I woke up Saturday morning to meet Elisa and her leading ladies at the salon, the skies were pure blue and the sun was shinning!  How lucky!  You know you are truly blessed when the clouds part, the sun warms the land, and the wind gives a gentle breeze on your wedding day.  Congratulations you two, you deserve the best.

Elisa’s wedding dress was BEAUTIFUL!  The detail was just amazing, and it fit her like a glove!

Gabe & Elisa’s wedding ceremony took place at Holy Angel’s in West Bend.  The ceremony was beautiful, but nothing could compare to the pure joy on Gabe & Elisa’s faces!! 

I love this moment between Elisa and her dad right before walking down the aisle.  Just beautiful.

After their wedding we quickly headed outside to take advantage of the beautiful fall day and get some portraits done. 

Here are some photos from our portrait session…

Gabe & Elisa chose the Scenic View Country Club for their wedding reception.  It’s a beautiful golf course with a very nice reception facility. 

Here are some photos from the reception. 

This pumpkin was actually carved with their name and dates when it was just a tiny pumpkin!  Isn’t that amazing?!?!

DJ Express did a great job at keeping the party going!  Everyone was dancing until the very last song, but it all started with the very romantic first dance…

And then it was dad’s turn to sweep Elisa off her feet!

Here’s to a great marriage, and a happily ever after…

Here’s one of MANY great pictures from the “C” Family.  Stay tuned for more…

I love taking photographs of newborns, since they are so sweet and little, and Friday was DOUBLE the fun because I got to take pictures of two beautiful baby girls!  These sweet little girls are 9 weeks old and certainly have a household full of love and affection!  Since I have SO many favorites from this family, I have decided to try a new blogging technique.  I hope this works better.

Presenting Little Ms. Ava and Ms. Ella!

The lighting just before sunset during fall is beautiful, and thanks to the “Y” Family, I got to enjoy some of it!  Thursday night I headed out for the “Y” Family’s land.  It is someday going to make a beautiful place for a new house, but right now it’s perfect for pictures.  Here are some of my favorites from that evening.

Today I had the great pleasure of photographing a couple for their 50th wedding anniversary.  Seeing them so in love makes me SO excited for the next 49 1/2 years of my marriage.  I can only be so lucky to be as happy and beautiful as you two are.  Thank you so much for letting me take your portraits today.

This is a sneak preview of the “Y” Family.  And I really must say, some kids have all the luck!  This sweet little girl has the most beautiful blue eyes which look AMAZING in black and white!  Of course that might not make much sense to many people, what does blue eyes have to do with a black and white photo?  Well, it lends just enough contrast to really make the eyes pop!  Check out this sneak peek photo to see what I’m talking about…

Not much to say that hasn’t been said with other families or their sneak preview.  This family was SUPER fun, just like the rest.  I’ve decided it’s pure awesome to take family portraits.  Not only do I get to do what I love, but it’s really nice to see a family spending time together and just having a great time.  There was a lot of smiles, kisses, and hand holding from this family and it was just amazing!  Thanks you guys for giving me such an awesome family to photograph!  Enjoy your photos!

I have the coolest clients!!!  Monday night was spent with the “W” Family and boy did we have fun.  It was a typical photo shoot… falling in the lake (almost, right Jen?), catching frogs, watching fish, wrestling in the grass… you know, the usual!   Anyways, here is a sneak peek of the pictures!

Family portraits are so much fun!  This Sunday I had the great pleasure of photographing the “L” family.  They are the sweetest people and so much fun.  I had to set the camera down because I was laughing, that’s how much fun we had!  So, enjoy the pictures and I hope you smile too!

To see all of the photos from the “L” Family, click here.

Holly is an amazing senior at West Bend East High School!  Not only is she super cool (and awesome to photograph) but she’s pretty darn smart too!  Good luck at school next year Holly and I hope you like your photos!

If you’d like to see all of Holly’s photos, click here.

This weekend was crazy busy!  Here is the Sunday sessions sneak peek!  First we have Holly, an amazing West Bend East senior.  Then we have the “L” family, who I might as well call the giggle family!

Your pictures are coming really soon guys… I promise!
