Kaelyn {Three Months Old}

It is hard to believe this little peanut is three months old already.  Seriously, time flies!  I was so excited to have her back in front of my camera.  I have to say, she is the most smiley three month old I think I've ever seen.  Look at this sweet girl's gorgeous smile!  She made my job so easy with her happy face.  Honestly, my heart melts a bit each time I look at her  portraits.  Adorable!

Newborn Potraits {What to Expect}

The birth of a child is a wonderful and important event in your life.  Whether it is your first baby or your fourth, each baby is special and precious.  Babies grow so quickly, right before our eyes.  While in the fog of sleepless nights and getting into the routine of having a new baby in the house, it may seem like time is standing still, but your little, tiny one is growing by leaps and bounds each day.  It is so special to capture newborn portraits.  Newborn portraits are the perfect reminder of how little they once were and capture the love shared in your new family.

Golden Hour

One of the most key elements in photography is lighting.  The lighting in an image can truly make or break it.  You may or may not have heard the term "golden hour" when talking to your photographer about portrait times.  Golden hour is the hour after the sun rises and the hour before the sun sets.  During golden hour the sun is low in the sky and the light is warm and dreamy.  Even on the harshest, most sunny day; golden hour is a time with beautiful soft light.

Meet the Photographer

I've realized recently that I've introduced you to my beautiful daughters and my family as a whole, but I should properly introduce myself.  I'm the creative soul and owner of Geno Photography.  I am a hopeless romantic, and I love capturing special moments.  Whether they are at a wedding or during a portrait session, I think they are the ultimate things that make life beautiful. This is the best part of my job.  Being creative is wonderful and I am so thankful to be in a career where I can put my creativity to use, but the thing that give me the most satisfaction is creating images that convey the emotion of the moment.  Images of the mother of the groom tearing up as she dances with her son on his wedding day.  Images of first time parents snuggling up with their precious new baby and seeing the absolute joy on their faces.  I love my job!

Wyatt {One Year Old}

 One evening last week, I met up with Wyatt and his parents at Wellman's North Park.  Wyatt is so adorable and it was a lot of fun capturing his portraits.  I was so happy that he was in a good mood during golden hour, the hour before sunset, because the evening light was simply beautiful.

Isabelle & Landon

Ok, seriously, how adorable is this duo?  Isabelle and her baby brother, Landon, came out to Wellman's North Park on Friday of our Spring Mini-Sessions.  They did such a great job with thier session.  Isabelle was quite tempted by the playground but was a great sport about waiting to go play so she could have her portraits taken. 

Blair & Marin {Spring Session}

Our Spring Mini-Sessions once again brought the super adorable duo that is Blair and Marin in front of my camera.  I first met these two sweet little girls during our Autumn Mini-Sessions last year.  My how they have grown since then!  Once again they were such a pleasure to work with.  They were so full of smiles!

YMCA Annual Sustaining Gala

Last weekend, I attended the Washington-Wellman YMCA's Annual Sustaining Gala.  This event is a fundraiser to raise money to fund the wonderful programs the YMCA offers, including grants to help give more people access to the YMCA.  The gala included a silent auction filled with donations from local businesses and a three course dinner.  The dinner was catered by Stacia's Catering in Wellman.

Greg

This past summer, I met up with Greg Frieden from Greg Frieden Photography in Amana and again in  Wellman to capture some new portraits of him for his website.  Amana was such a fun location to photograph in.  We began by the lily pond which was simply beautiful, as was the pompous grass along the road side just opposite the pond.  Then we headed to the downtown Amana area.  The buildings there were simply gorgeous.  I love the rustic bricks.

Christian {Senior}

 Recently, Christian came into the studio for his senior session.  Christian is a drummer and basketball player.  It was fun incorporating his interests into his session.  After a short studio shoot, we headed around downtown Wellman and Wellman's South Park for some outdoor shots.
