shannon wucherer photography: Madison & Tyler - Madison Children's Photographer

I met Maddie & Tyler last spring - when they ventured to Milwaukee for a family session. I kind of can't believe how much they've changed in less than a year (sorry, Kristen!). Tyler, who almost had no hair at our April session, had a full, freshly cut coif. Big sister Madison is starting to look like a big kid, whereas in April, she still had her baby face. Sigh... the coolest, and probably hardest part of this profession (and I guess of parenting in general) is watching kiddos grow up.

Because its winter, we had this session at the family's home in Madison. This was great for Tyler, he seemed QUITE comfortable in his own element. So comfortable, in fact, he pretty much directed himself the entire session. While I don't usually do much "posing", preferring to play and goof around with the kiddos, Tyler had other ideas. I think he fancied himself a catalog model - hands perfectly in pockets, chin rested on his hands, million dollar smile - what a little goof ball.

Maddie, not to be outdone, showed me her bedroom (complete with super cool wall mural courtesy of grandpa), her book collection (books on ALL subjects :) AND showcased some of her gymnastics moves.

Please be sure to check out the eyes on these kiddos - a lovely green & brown, complete with amazing eyelashes. Lucky ducks.

Enjoy your preview, guys!
