Fall Family "Foto" Event

Fall is my favorite time of year. The crisp air and canvas of colorful leaves are very inspiring to me! This is a great time of year to get your family photographs done. You might even be thinking about (gasp) Holiday cards!

Last year motivated by fall inspiration and wanting to offer families a fun photography session I hosted a Fall Family Photography Event! It was so much fun I decided to make it an annual event! This year I am especially thankful and excited to be hosting this years photography sessions at Nesbitt's beautiful Nursery and Orchard located just south of the cities by Prescott, WI.


Every weekend Nesbitts hosts a Happ-E-Hill event at their Orchard. This event features a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch, rides through the orchard, a wonderful building were the apples are sorted and made into cider ......so many great activities for the family. Also, Nesbitt's offers local made food, locally roasted coffee and home made ice cream! Different yummy treats are featured....treats like baked honey (harvested from Nesbitt's Nursery hives) wheat bread served with homemade raspberry preserves!http://www.nesbittsnursery.com


Black Bird Photography will be scheduling this years Fall Family Foto Event on Sunday October 18. The session will be a 45 minutes to an hour long and will include some formal portraits and lots of fun natural photographs of either your whole family or just the kids enjoying their experience at Nesbitt's Nursery. Before the session we will have a mini-consultation over the phone so we can tailor the session specifically for your family!


Email or call the studio and book a time today to get on the list for some great outdoor family or children's photographs during this beautiful time of year! Colorful sweaters, hats, or even Halloween costumes are encouraged!!! Session includes your choice of either a custom designed collage, accordian book, print or 25 CUSTOM DESIGNED HOLIDAY CARDS!!!

Katie and Greg Amundson's Wedding




What a great couple Katie and Greg make! This wedding was especially fun as Katie is the cousin of one of my favorite brides from last year, Meghann Whiting. The wedding ceremony started with lots of chuckles as Katie and Greg's son didn't quite get the rings all the way up the aisle. His sister however made a graceful entrance and looked truly like a princess as she made her way up to Katie and Greg. Katie was a gorgeous bride! Greg and Katie were great to photograph as they are not only very much in love, but also were letting the stress of planning a wedding go and truly enjoying their day with the family and friends who came to share it with them. You could tell by their wedding details that they had everyone in mind, even including a moonwalk tent for the kids! Thanks Katie an Greg!
