Shooting the heidi-chad team was a delight & a joy. These guys want to have fun. I would be like….ok, I think we got it guys! right on! then they would be doing headstands against the wall. How could I not shoot that? and the hula hooping was just them waiting for their turn to be photographed. Oh, man….I should be claiming these photos were all my idea! I know fun when i see it. FUN. RIGHT HERE! bam. ok, happy monday. Everyone should get some family photos taken. Because I like taking them and I bet you will enjoy having them! oxox sv

Abigail and Brian have a baby. They named her Lilly! i drove out to their house sorta in the middle of nowheres in cross plains. i think there are killers lurking in the 10 acres of woods behind their house. Abigail tells me she’s not worried of killers. That’s good. cause she’s the one that lives there. oh, and their house is this log cabin with the most beautiful CB2 furniture. and this really really cute baby that is around here and there. I had a lovely time. I just keep waiting to be invited back. oxox

oh i should tell you more about this lilly! She stares at you. like she’s looking into your soul. Ah! You know there’s that thing where they say babies can on see shapes. so maybe she was mesmerized by my blond hair floating about the room. she was maybe the cutest baby i’ve ever seen. or 3rd cutest. hard to remember. There are a lot of babies out there.

I’ve known Abby forever. At least longer than i’ve known most people. I used to shoot weddings with Abby when she was a hard ass. We worked at the same studio and she would wear all black and kinda scared the shit out of 22 year old me. That was really for only like 2 weeks, turned out she is really nice. And so is Nate. If you meet him at a party he’s worth talking to for sures. I’ve probably taken Abby & Nate’s photo a dozen times now. ok, maybe 6. This is my favoritest story ever! Nate maybe has a little bit of a lazy-or maybe it’s a wandering eye…oh i don’t know. If you want me to take this info down from the blog Abby-just let me know. So Abby was trying to convince me that if I took their photo I could get really good at lazy eye photography. I think. So there you have it world! i’m coming out right now as the Lazy Eye Photographer Extraordinaire.

Nate & Abby have the cutest little boy ever, Enzo. He will do great things with these parents. I’m sure of it.

This sorta looks like the spot where the cool-aid guy busted through. I think about him a lot. OH-YEAH!

Alyssa & Jake!

Alyssa and Jake cracked me up. I picked them in my car, they were waiting on the corner. I decided to do some horn honking when i saw them, which is kinda a risky move. You don’t want your new clients to think you are crazy. I am not crazy. I do like to honk. They were/are great. Jake jumped in the car and was like, “how’s it going sharon v!” I love that. They called me sharon v all day. We had a good afternoon. Mostly we took photos but sometimes we drank a beer.

Jake lives in Iowa. They met at a bar in Madison on a game day…for like 20 minutes. They had zero friends in common. What are the chances? I think small or at least smallish. Then Alyssa only called him cause she was in Iowa for her grandfathers funeral. He was still like 3 hours away. But look at this! They are in love & getting married. I love these stories.

There was talk of having a frolicking run down the hill after the engagement. This is a reenactment.

yep. that’s a toilet back there. I didn’t crop it out. classy photographer-that’s me.
