Wisconsin Birthday Girls

Happy Birthday to two of my favorite birthday girls from Wisconsin. I have been taking pictures for this family since big sister was a newborn. It's always so nice to see them. I'll have more pictures up soon on the Mettler Portraits Facebook page.

Mr. B

Mr. B tagged along when his siblings had their graduation pictures taken. I'll post some of those later but for now look at that smile. We'll be seeing him again soon for his 2 year pictures.

Marmion Academy Senior Pictures

I had a chance to take pictures of a senior from Marmion's golf team. Check out our facebook page soon from more images.

Baby Boy

It's been quite awhile since I've had a newborn BOY in the studio but this little guy was worth the wait.

Another First Birthday

Happy First Birthday to our new friend Mr. L. We always do a consultation before our sittings and this was one of the shots his mom was hoping for. With one year olds you never know if they will go along with the plan but we got it!

I love getting the shots of the curls before they cut them all off. He's too cute.

Congratulations Class of 2013

Congratulations to Dane and all of my 2013 seniors. Be sure to check out the Mettler Portraits facebook page to see more senior pictures.

As Blue as the Sea

Look at these blue eyes! Just in time for summer. She looks like she's ready to cruise the seas. Miss A. was here with her big sister for pictures. I will try and post more later.

This is How it Starts

This year my husband and I celebrated 20 years of marriage and I took the day off to hang out with my favorite person.  I am lucky to be able to work at what I love but luckier still to have found a man who I never tire spending time with. He is still the man who makes me laugh. I had this surprise planned for him for a long time right down to the song. If I had one extra day I could have done a little better job with the old snap shots, like taking them out of the album, lol, but it's a bit tricky when your trying to do it with somebody home. It's been 20 years but click here...This is How it Starts

I Took a Few Days Off

Some of you already know that earlier this year we lost our beloved big brown labradoodle who was my studio dog. When I would come into the studio and turn on my lights he would run over and sit or lay right in the spot where I have my clients sit and I would use him to test my lights if no one else was around. He may have been the most photographed dog not in show business. This favorite shot was actually taken right before a client arrived.

May is a very busy time of year at our house normally. In addition to Mother's Day it is also my husband's birthday and our wedding anniversary, more on that later.  This year for my husbands birthday I bought him a very special present from Lucky Country Labradoodles. We both took the day off last week to bring him home. He has some big paws to fill but he seems up to the task.
