Today in History My boys are swimming!!!!!
I was lagging on making sure that Ben and Josh were water safe this summer. One thing after another got in the way and before I knew it, it was July. A bunch of friends have recommend Laura over the years and the fact that we could walk to her house, where the lessons are held, made it way to easy not to start asap. After 3 weeks, 2 times a week, Ben and Josh are DIVING IN AND SWIMMING ACROSS THE POOL! It is amazing and they actually ASK to go to swimming lessons! She teaches year round and not only do I recommend her, but the list goes on of other Jens List members who are happy too!

She did our newborn baby photos when he was 10 days old. She also did several family photos of us with different poses. She used soooo many different props for the baby. I will cherish these photos forever. My family and friends who see these photos are blown away by how great these pictures came out. Madeline is very professional. She gave us instructions on what to wear prior to coming and told us to warm up the house for the baby. She was on time. She came to my house with all her props, lighting and all her ideas. She was so incredibly patient with our family and baby. She even waited over an hour for the baby to finally fall sleep, so she could do the sleepy photos of him. She is just wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone doing baby/kids photos or even family photos. I have also seen some of her engagement photos and they are just so unique. And best of all you don’t have to wait weeks to get your photos, like some other photographers. She gives you all the beautiful photos right there on your laptop.
