6 Month Photography | Lexi | McKinley Woods - Channahon, IL by Emily Hilleshiem

This sweet lil girl is one of my favorite munchkins. It's been such a joy to photograph her newborn photos and then celebrate 6 months of her beautiful presence with her parents. McKinley Woods served as an amazing backdrop for photos. There were no limit of stunning scenic views, so picking just a few was a bit of a challenge. I easily could have spent the whole afternoon there; so good thing for everyone else it was a little chilly. Dashing back and forth to the vehicle for wardrobe changes and a quick warm up did nothing to damper Lexi's spirits. Her mom and I had attended a fair earlier in the day and found an adorable tutu ensemble. Upon learning that Amanda had candy corn leggings (thanks Lularoe!), we knew it was meant to be! 

Family Photography | The M Family | Milwaukee, WI by Emily Hilleshiem

Ah, family photos. It seems that they're easier to make time for when you're capturing the growth of your little ones in the early years, However once kids have grown up, it's easy for them to become an oversight. I find this to be an unfortunate circumstance because there is so much beauty in the adult phase of children's lives. 

That is simply one of the many reasons that I was so happy that the M family contacted me for some updated photos. As adorable as the girls were in their family photos from awhile back, I hope that they (and mom + dad too!) will appreciate and treasure this set as well! 

Meet the M Family!

Portrait Photography | Cat + Olivia | Watertown, WI by Emily Hilleshiem

A little bit of a throwback here! These gals are near and dear to my heart. One's my little sister and one is my cousin. It's really nice that they have each other to go through the ups and downs of the high school years together. They were laughing pretty much the whole time and just had fun. (Making my job super easy!) They are both gorgeous young women, inside and out, and I'm excited to see what God has planned for them!
