​I'd like to start with this bit of information - this session only took us fifteen minutes. Yes, you read that right!  It's amazing what you can capture when everyone lets go and lets kids be kids! It's something I'm trying to explain to parents and implement more into my family and kiddo sessions. Some of these images are the result of playing peek-a-boo or the Baby Shark song (sorry if that's stick in your head the rest of the day now) - simple and fun ideas such as those are gold! I love how Maelee's sweet little personality shines through each image. She was a gem to photograph!  

I've been itching to do a greenhouse session for a while now and I'm glad I went for it! Maelee's mom is an acquaintance through my sister and other friends and when I saw how adorable and photogenic Maelee was, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to reach out to her mom.  I'm so thankful that everything worked out and that we had a successful and memorable session in such a pretty and unique location! 

If you've visited this venue before, you probably know where our fun had taken place. If not, let me introduce you to Klein's Floral & Greenhouse. The staff was so wonderful and informative to work with while setting this up! I hope to do more sessions in this kind, lovely and WARM venue in the future. 

If you're interested in a greenhouse session, please contact Ammie Jean Photography. I'd love to chat with you! 

Crazy how fast the year went - around this time last year I was photographing Logan's newborn portraits. FAST FORWARD! Here are the images I captured of his first taste of CAKE! He loved it and it was so much fun to document! Just before his solo cake smash session, we did some quick family shots in my backyard...so this cake was really a sweet treat! I also have to mention that his mom made the cake!! It turned out perfect and coordinated with the banner I made wonderfully.

Scroll through and don't forget to leave a sweet comment, too! Enjoy! 

I had great time catching up with the Woodburn trio and capturing some fun memories for them. This session was taken late September on a gloomy evening and the mosquitoes were horrible! They were such troopers with the weather, gray sky and the pests...and it was so worth it! I love how these images turned out and the true love that is now frozen in time for them to hang in their home and admire for years to come. Such simple gratification makes what I do so special. 

Enjoy!

This family is so amazing! I've known them since Brielle was a baby and I've been photographing the Goodchilds since her one year portraits. Wow, has this family and my business grown! I think it's pretty special we've been able to share several milestones together and watch one another branch out over the years. 

Not only is this family super sweet, but they are truly fashionable as well. I love when my families show up to session dressed as if they stepped out of a magazine! The sunshine, green grass, vibrant colors and this good lookin' gang made for some stunning family portraits. I'm excited to share this mix of relaxed poses and lifestyle shots with you!

I was so excited when these three gals were signed up for my first Spring Child Mini event. They were so pleasant and easy to work with. They made my job a little to easy! :) I'm not kidding when I say these girls are as sweet as they are pretty. 

Again, I was blessed with the perfect spring evening. So thankful for that. Warm weather and sunshine - nothing to complain about!

​The girls sported different textures and shades of blue with the perfect mix of patterns and solids. Dressed just like they just stepped out of a magazine! Mom did a great job coordinating their adorable outfits! 

I love working with kiddos and plan to do another mini like this in the fall or next spring again. Stay tuned!

I can't believe Hank is one already! Were did the last year go? It has been awesome to watch him grow and change so much over the last 12 months! I'm so lucky this ham is my cousin and that I have the amazing advantage to not only watch him grow so closely, but also capture his big milestones! I'm so honored to share such happy memories with my family through my photography. 

Hank's session was taken on a warm spring evening. I could not have asked for better light. I love how warm and back lit these images are! Hank sported an adorable plaid top for the first half of his session and a plain white onesie and bare toes for his second half. I can't decide which look I like more!

Happy six months to this little cutie! Taelyn was all full of smiles, silly faces, giggles and even a few adorable mean mugs! I love all of her captured expressions. 

This session took place in my in-home studio set up just before Easter. We included some classic images along with a festive set up as well. Taelyn sported her pretty Easter dress along with her older sister's (Teiler) shoes and headband that she also wore  for one of her first year sessions. I love sentimental touches! 

Working with this family is always fun and I can't wait to continue capturing their future milestones!

I was so thrilled to work with this little cutie! Johannah started out shy (notice the few adorable grump faces mixed throughout) but warmed up fairly quickly with mom's help! These images make me giggle just looking at them. I love all the captured emotions from giggles, to smiles and mean mugs. In my opinion, a mix like this is amazing and I wouldn't change a thing! I love to embrace any moment and expression. Shortly into her session, sweet Johannah decided she needed to sneak in a snack and I was all for it if it meant some comfort for her. Aside from producing stunning images, my other goal is to calm any anxious hearts during my sessions the best that I can. Even with the occasional animal cracker in view, these are precious regardless! Mom also packed some of Johannah's favorite toys so those also made their debut, of course! 

This sitter session was done in my little provisional studio area within my home during the morning and it was only 30 minutes! Just the right amount of time for most kiddos when it comes to individual portraits.

Johannah was sportin' a delightful floral top complete with cute booties and light gray leggings. I'm a sucker for that light and airy feel and I believe that was accomplished with the coordinating props and off white backdrop. 

Working with Johannah and her mom was blast and I hope to do so again! :)

I had the pleasure of working with Ryder and his awesome parents again to capture his 3 month portraits.  What a splendid way to kick off 2018! We bundled up and started with some quick family photos outside, literally less than 2 minutes outside, followed by some lifestyle shots on my couch.  Outdoor family shots are possible in January. After all, we are Wisconsin tough! 

The next portion of Ryder's session was all about him! Mom and dad wanted to incorporate the bowl we used for his newborn photos and I thought using Dad's antlers again would be neat too! What a creative way to show how much Ryder has grown since his newborn portraits. We also used our creativity and played with Ryder's layers of clothing to mix things up and create different looks within an hours time. I absolutely love how these sweet images turned out and I can't wait to work with this trio again! 

Enjoy!

Sweetness overload! Little Olivia was a workout to capture but well worth it! She was all about showing off her walking skills while Mom and I ran after her. I can' t blame for wanting to wild and free. :) 

We decided to meet at one of my favorite DeForest locations, an area that opens up to the awesome bike path we have in town that runs from DeForest to Windsor. It's a gem and not far from my home. Since this was a thirty minute session, we only put a bit of this site to good use. 

It was a very warm evening, so mom and I really got our sweat on! Despite the heat, it turned out to be a fun and memorable session. I even offered an outfit change and incorporated big sister, Charlie, into the mix for some sweet sister photos towards the end of the session. Both girls did a good job considering the heat and the fact that supper time was approaching. I was happy for the golden, evening light and the beautiful end of summer scenery. 

Olivia sported an adorable onsie with the word "ONE" written in gold on it, along with a coral tutu, matching head band and darling moccasins. Mom brought a burlap banner with gold specks in it while I provided my vintage quilt, wooden crate and "O-N-E" letters. The set-up was so simple and came together wonderfully. 

For the last segment of the session Charlie and Olivia were dressed with early fall/late summer in mind. Rich, bold and vibrant colors! There attire went great with my vintage inspired afghan. So many silly, candid and beloved moments were captured! 

Check out some of Olivia's 1 Year gallery along with a combination of fun shots featuring both Charlie and Olivia below! Like what you see? Leave me a sweet comment. :) 

Enjoy!
