This year we added a lot of new faces to our portrait collection – we also saw the return of quite a few familiar kid and adult faces. A few highlights: the Packers won the Superbowl, Angela graduated nursing school and got the surprise of her life, past wedding clients had babies, Christopher bought a cowboy hat and our photography business gained a little more popularity! Thanks to all who helped make 2011 such a great year for us – we hope we were able to do the same for you. We love you guys!!!

If these two look a little familiar it’s because they have been holding a spot on our website for about three years now!! Meet Ginnean and Doug, again. We had the pleasure of photographing them back when they took their vows and we were so excited when they got in touch to say they are bringing a mini Sinclair into this world! Doug was a super trooper, working his way through the photos with an injured back all in the name of love… or perhaps just to keep Ginnean smiling, which in itself qualifies him to claim his new title as Dad to a much anticipated little girl. As long as his “yes dears” keep coming he will be beloved by his daughter and wife. As for Ginnean, her mommy status is already secure… you can see it in the way she smiles down on her one and only.

We received a call this summer, and a sweet voice on the receiver asked about a maternity photo session. We chatted about a month trying to work out our schedule, ideas, etc. Then the doorbell rang, and we met Nikki & Kevin Minich. It only took us about 30 seconds to like these two. They were so sweet, happy and their excitement about their first child was contagious. We look forward to little Liam’s arrival and newborn session this fall, but for now check out these maternity portraits.

The waiting and anticipation is over. We released our new portfolio website to the public today. We are so excited about this release as it is truly a showcase of our work. From the first opening of the website, you’ll know this is serious! The website features just about all the clients we have had the pleasure to work with. The photos are high-resolution and they fill most of the screen, giving you a better sense of the quality of our photographs. You’ll notice more photos throughout our portfolio broken into three categories: Weddings, Love & Life.

We would like to send a big, I mean huge THANK YOU to all of you who have been clients and have now become friends, those of you who have endured our cameras in your faces all the time, our friends, family and supporters. Now head on over to www.luckyprophotography.net and check out the new portfolio! And don’t forget to come back to our blog to leave your comments!

Let’s welcome Stacey & Mike back to the blog! They were married September 5th, 2009, and are expecting their first child this fall. We always have such an amazing time whenever we see this couple – this time being the most fun of all thus far. Little Savannah is going to be so lucky with Stacey & Mike as her parents – they are so caring and thoughtful, full of energy and love, and they are simply good people. We are excited for the new arrival – photos sure to come!

Meet Ajula & Chris! This sweet couple came to us to photograph a maternity session for Ajula who is approximately 7.5 months along… and wow had an awesome. Ajula and Chris were playful, exciting and they brought tons of ideas while also being very open to our ideas as well. We’re so excited for them because Ajula does not know if the baby will be a boy or a girl… I guess we will all find out together. Good luck to you guys and we can’t wait for the Newborn Session!!!

Not many joys can be as fulfilling as bringing a newborn into this world. And with a family the excitement is taken to new heights. Our maternity and family portrait session with Nicole Gardner and her family was so special. Everyone was so cute and cuddly with one another, even the dog.

We are excited for them to welcome their new addition into the family. Thank you Nicole for allowing us to share in your joy and we look forward to newborn portraits in the near future.
