Victoria & Nick Engaged

One of the last colorful days this year and we were lucky that it did not rain on us ;)
Big congrats to this couple. Both so full of life and so open to new and modern ideas. Victoria is a good friend of Ly's and I was so fortunate to finally meet her in person and be a part of their engagement session.
Victoria has so much style and was more than prepared for the shoot. This made things so fun and always changing.

We started in downtown Milwaukee....big oppsy though. The holiday parade was almost starting and we were stranded on a blocked street. Yikes!  We did finally get out of all the craziness and linked up with our couple at Milwaukee Public Market. After that, it was smooth sailing!

Victoria and Nick, we are so happy that we were given the opportunity to capture these beginning moments for you. Many congrats and the best to you both as you head towards wedding bells!

Fun with bows

What a cutie.....this little man is going to break hearts as he grows up. Thank you to Carly for bringing Landon over for a shoot.
I'm so thankful to have found Carly and am very excited to photograph her wedding in June.
Until then, here's to the little man...celebrating 9 months of being a little bachelor ;)

Savannah & Matt

Congrats to Savannah and Matt. These two are such a great couple. They came out into the cold and even weathered the wind for us. It's amazing that April is so quickly approaching and wedding bells are soon in the air. We are very excited for your wedding day. Can't wait. Congrats!

Welcome Two Sweet Baby Girls!

I have been obsessed with newborn and babies in general ever since I was a little girl.  That obsession has not changed now that I'm a big girl.  I was so fortunate to meet 2 families with their first family addition over a week ago:  baby Samantha and baby Arianna.  With mom and dad right by their side, they showed me a lot of personality.  Somewhere between their sleepy, playful, happy, and "I need to go to the bathroom" mode (lol, yes, it happens when they get cold), I was able to capture some precious moments.  Thank you for sharing your day with me and for letting me hold your bundle of joy.  I look forward to seeing them soon!

Sara & Kyle

Smiles, kisses and Wedding Bells!
It was a beautiful day Saturday and we were fortunate to share it capturing Sara and Kyle's big day.  We had great weather and great people. Sara and Kyle were married by her uncle, who happened to be the one that married Sara's parents 20+ years ago!

The ceremony was held is a wonderfully restored chapel that had these fantastic long windows. It was the perfect spot to showcase Sara's dress.


Well now...we certainly can't show you the dress without the shoes! ;)
Shoes really are a girl's best friend. 



They were such a fun and happy couple. Smiling from ear to ear and just enjoying being husband and wife....even with lots of onlookers, these two were not shy. They love each other and will show the world that.


Sara's Mom was so creative. She had her wedding dress taken in and the florist was given permission to take a piece of Mom's dress and use it to create a this stunning floral wrap. It was beautiful and so touching for her to have shared that with her daughter.


The cake was deliciously made by Cakescapes in Appleton. Funny thing...we usually are done in by the cake, but this time around, Sara and Kyle has a candy bar! Oh boy....that was so tempting...that we just decided to give in. Haha!

Thank you Sara and Kyle. You two were amazing and have such wonderful families. We wish you all the best on your new journey together. Congrats!!

It's Family time :)

Only 3 more weeks until Thanksgiving!  Boy, time flies, especially when you are having fun.  We had a blast during wedding season.  Now, our focus has shifted to families and the upcoming holidays =)

Just a couple of weeks ago, we had the chance to work with this handsome family of five.  They picked the perfect time, the leaves were all turning colors and the weather was a bit windy but beautiful.  



The kids had a great time playing with all the leaves.  They even tackle mom and dad :) 




Thank you for sharing your afternoon with us.  We look forward to seeing you all soon.
