Dustin

Braved the cold and wind today, had a blast photographing this young man and his snowmobile this afternoon! It has been SO long since I was on a snowmobile! Brought back good memories. :)

"K"

Isn't this little guy the cutest? He had the whole family working hard to get him to smile. Finally worked when everyone relaxed. Go figure!

Family pets

The wonderful family pets were so cute! They posed so nicely for me. I'm sure they're parents are so proud, lol!

Cute kids

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday! I know it snuck up on me, lol!

Had the pleasure of photographing these two cute kids over this past week. We had a fun time!

This little one came in for her 3 month portrait. Even though she wouldn't give us that big smile, I still think we got some wonderful poses. And don't you just love the hat?

Tyler

Tyler came in recently for his graduation pictures. This guy already knows exactly what he is doing when he graduates, he is enlisting in the air force to be a linguist. I thought this was kind of cool, since my husband was also a linguist in the air force!

Anyway, his parents should be proud. Tyler is cool.

Little imp

This little guy came in recently with his mom and dad for some photos. 2 year olds certainly have a lot of energy, lol! He kept us moving (maybe I should have him come more often.....). Anyway, got some good expressions, you can tell he knew who was in charge!

Ballerina

I had so much fun photographing this lovely ballerina the other day! Not only is she really lovely to look at, but a personality to match! It is so much fun to do new things with people that are so interested in contributing to the session. The outfits were so neat, she is the lead in the "Nutcracker Suite", so I wanted to do some that looked a little old-fashioned. Fun, fun, fun!

"D"

Went to Regner Park with this cute little guy! I have been taking his pictures since he was 3 months old, amazing how fast time goes by.

Memories

Everyone has hauled out old photo albums or looked at a family portrait hanging on the wall. Don't the memories instantly fill your brain, bringing up all those good feelings that surrounded everyone at that time.

Doesn’t everyone start sharing stories about the people in the photographs, or the personalities of those people? “remember when Jimmy did this”, or “remember how Grandma acted when…”, or any of those fond memories and humorous incidents that happen in, and, for every family? And why does everyone remember these times so differently? But it is still so much fun to share them.

That's why its so important to take pictures; to have family portraits taken EVERY YEAR! People change so quickly. Even if you think you aren't changing, your hair and clothing styles change. Kids change the way they like to dress, one year it is super casual, only jeans; just a short year later they could be in colored hair or in dresses.

Your little boy that is shorter than you this year, may be two inches taller than you next year or the little girl that only wants to sit in daddy’s lap this year, may not want to next year. It is important to capture those moments (and memories!).

Remember that saying "a picture is worth a thousand words"? Well, if pictures are worth a thousand words, then surely they are also worth a million memories!

When was the last time you had a family portrait taken? Schedule one today, preserve those memories for tomorrow!

K family

It was so much fun photographing this great family! You can tell when families are close, and this family sure was. We went to Regner Park, which held special meaning to them because they had spent many fun summers there. Thanks for allowing me to share the afternoon with you!

Maternity sessions!

Watched this awesome maternity webinar last night, hosted by Sandy Puc, from Expressions Photography, in Colorado.

She had so many cool ideas, it was really exciting to get so many new ideas.

So if anyone would like to have a maternity session taken, and is 7-8 months pregnant, give me a call! I would love to meet you (and the new baby, lol).

What is so much fun, is we can do a maternity session now, and then when the baby is born, a newborn session, and then create a wonderful pictorial storybook. This makes a wonderful keepsake for both you and the baby, that he/she will treasure forever.

Christmas cards

Don't forget to come in to order your Christmas cards! You can get personalized Christmas cards that will be the envy of all your friends!

Ajla

Here is Ajla. She and her mother came to my studio for Ajla's senior portraits. I really enjoyed meeting them both.

Geez, I have a hard job, lol!

Thelen Family

Here are the Thelen's. I photographed "E" last year for his graduation pictures, and this year I had the pleasure of photographing the entire family. The love between them all is evident.

Schmidt Family

The Schmidt family came to my studio grounds for a family picture, and their little boy, "C" was so much fun. His enthusiasm was so contagious! Even with the cool temperatures. We took a lot of fun pictures.

Another guitar man! Love it!

Meet the Jones'

Meet the Jones Family. I had the pleasure of photographing the entire family at the Kewaskum Park. Don't these little ones have the most angelic faces? And they were so well behaved!

"J"

I look so forward to photographing little "J" each month. He is such a cutie, and he has the most entertaining expressions. Some little people are just so much fun!

Michelle

Had the pleasure of meeting Michelle for her graduation pictures. We started out at her house and then came back to the studio. Here are a couple of my favorites.

To see the rest, go to my website http://www.bentfieldphotography.com/.

If you know of someone who hasn't had their graduation pictures taken yet, I would love to meet them too!

Vote!

I am curious as to what is your main criteria when choosing a photographer...is it price? Is it quality? Please vote and I will post the results here on my blog (and on facebook too!). The voting is to the right of this.....

Thanks!

T&T

These two adorable boys were in for a photo session. Sometimes I forget how active these little people can be, lol. And these two certainly kept us moving!

Brian & Nick

 Had the pleasure of photographing Nick & Brian last week. We went to Ackerman Park and then to my studio to finish up their session. It was really nice having a helping hand when we were in the sunshine.

Rick

Rick is the son of a friend of mine. I hope he likes his pictures.

Caleb

Caleb was fun. He is a soccer player, reminded me of my youngest who also played soccer.

Here are a couple favorites of mine.

Ryan

Ryan came in for senior portrait with this cool red car! It is so much fun being able to photograph these teenagers with their diverse personalities and interests!

Kayla

Kayla was fun. Her face just lights up when she smiles.

Chelcie

Here are some pictures of Chelcie. She recently moved to the Janesville area, so I am glad she didn't cancel her appointment to have her senior pictures taken by me. I had such a good time! First she had her makeup done here by my makeup artist, Ashley. Ashley did an awesome job! Chelcie was having as much fun as I was, we started out with her beautiful prom dress, doing several poses with that. After she changed into a more casual outfit, we continued. I must admit, the weather was perfect and Chelcie was wonderful to work with. It was truly a pleasure working with her.
