Little brothers are the best. For this particular big brother, they make the perfect roadway for a hot wheels car, and also for some occasional adorable kisses.
Going from one child to two is kind of a big deal. There's all sorts of ups and downs involved that change your whole world in an instant. Welcoming this little man into the family means longer days, and definitely longer nights. But they're doing it together, with lots of going with the flow and lots of laughter.
Packers fans through and through (much to Lori's delight) they sported their jerseys with Cheesehead pride. And when big brother didn't want to be part of the pictures, he played - karate chopping bubbles and swinging in Daddy's arms. And as always, they went with it. Because what else can you do?
In the end when laying in bed with both of your babies in your arms is what you need to do - you go with it. Even if you are exhausted, enjoy every second of it. Because all too soon, this time of your lives shall also pass - with or without nap time.
When it does, we hope these photos will happily remind you of these early days as a family of four (plus dog).

See highlights from this extended family photo session at Wickham Farms in Rochester, NY. A golden evening full of laughter, love, and genuine connection.
This Rochester family wanted something different for their family portraits, so instead of fields and fall colors, they chose the High Falls district. The mix of brick, stone, and city views created a fun, urban backdrop that perfectly matched their personality and made for portraits that truly felt like them.
At one of our recent sessions, a great grandmother slipped off her ring, let her granddaughter try it on, and said, “Maybe this will be yours someday.” That simple, fleeting moment captured so much love, tradition, and connection—and it’s exactly why generational family portraits are so important. These portraits are more than just pictures; they become heirlooms that carry your family’s story forward for years to come.
Last fall, we had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family of five at the Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY. Surrounded by vibrant autumn foliage and classic architecture, their love and connection shone through in every frame. See how we captured these cherished memories!
