Lisa & Adam: Expecting Oct. 2012

Had the most awesome opportunity to not only

travel to my favorite city in the entire world,

but to shoot my first ever maternity session!!

Lisa, whom I went to nursing school with, and her hubby Adam

were gracious enough to ask me to document this fun time in their lives!

We met at the Memorial Union Terrace (oh how I miss that place...) 

and then ventured over to Bascom Hill, another staple at UW-Madison!

Congratulations Lisa & Adam!!

Cassie: 9 months

Time again for little Miss Cassie!!

She's growing up SO FAST

and is adorable as ever!!

It was so much fun this time because we ventured over to

Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis!

It was an absolutely beautiful day

and she was as smiley and photogenic as ever!

Here is a sneak peak at Cassie's 9 month session...

Beau & Ashley's Rehearsal Dinner

I recently was asked to shoot a Rehearsal Dinner

on none other than Lake Minnetonka!!

I couldn't turn down the opportunity.

It was a spectacular night.

The Bride & Groom were so nice!

and to top it off, I got experience shooting an event

rather than just portraits.

All in all, a fabulous night!

Special thanks to Jake for recommending me :)

Congratulations Beau and Ashley!!

It was lovely meeting you and an honor to shoot your dinner!

Newborn: Joshua

My wonderful co-worker Amie recommended me

 to this lovely little family!

So far I've mostly done sessions with friends and co-workers,

so going into this shoot without knowing the family was exciting and nerve-racking!!

However, it was a wonderful, wonderful experience to branch out.

Hopefully a glimpse of what I'll be dealing with in the future :)

This little guy was about 11 days old

and was SO excited for pictures that he just did NOT want to fall asleep!

He also loved to eat and  was absolutely ADORABLE!

Even though we had trouble getting him to sleep, I'm quite thrilled 

 with how his photos turned out!

(Thankfully, we did catch him snoozing a little bit!)

My favorite part though is the cute little family photos we did at the end!! 

Penn: 3 Months

Hello Friends!

JUST A QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT

As I will be changing my wonderful and oh so memorable 

last name next year....

I've decided to make a change in the 'name' of my photography

(as you can tell from my recent change in logo)

Therefore my website will NO LONGER be nuttyphotography.blogspot.com

---it is now nataliejeanphotos.blogspot.com---

I'm also hoping to convince my wonderful future brother-in-law 

to help me create an actual website someday (ahh!) 

So don't be alarmed, but please spread the word!

okay... back to the IMPORTANT stuff!!

One of my good friends and co-worker

gave me the chance to photograph her adorable 3 month old, Penn.

He is and was an absolute doll and pleasure to work with!

I mean seriously, how irresistible is that smile and

aren't you obsessed with his eyes?! 

Hoping to do more of this little guy soon  :)
