Family Photos

After a crazy summer of being gone all except about 3 weeks (or less!) we are home and had a chance to do family photos last week.  As I've said before, I really value photos of our family that capture special moments and expressions that we'll have forever.  I could go on and on...

My friend, Rachel, took our photos and because I'm moved by their beauty, I thought I would share what she posted on her blog.

Rachel is in Eau Claire for one month...you could book her for your own family photos, if you want.  :)

Get photos.

I'm a huge proponent of having professional family photos taken as often as you can.  There is something to beautiful about the way a photo can capture life at any given moment.  With my boys growing as quickly as they are, I want to capture as many of those moments as we can.  My house is full of photos and I'm adding even more this summer...

My beautiful friend, Rachel and her doctor husband and their adorable son, Brighton are coming to spend a month in Eau Claire (mid-August - mid-Sept).  Rachel has a unique photography style unlike anything I have seen.  Her photos are always amazing.  I have already booked her for a session while she's here, but she is offering free sessions through a giveaway via her blog.  Click here for the direct link!

I hope you will sign up for her giveaway and give her some advice about the Chippewa Valley (they may be moving here next year - let's hope!).

Visit Irvine Park!

Get to Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls this holiday season! Your kids will love cozying up in the car: pajamas and slippers are a must; and going to view the holiday lights display at Irvine. If the kids are old enough, treat them to their own little travel mug of hot chocolate or apple cider - this is a tradition they are sure to love!

Hint: December 12th is "walk through" when no cars are allowed. You can pull your kids on a sled, push a stroller, or just run in the snow!
