Mary Beth + Baby Bump = Swoon {Stevens Point Wisconsin Maternity Photographer}

Mary Beth is actually the real reason that I started doing photography as a business! She and my childhood best friend Ben asked me to photograph their wedding. But I did not have the equipment or experience to do so, and turned them down. That did not mean that I stopped thinking about what it would be like to photograph people's lives and experiences. I am forever THANKFUL that they pushed me into the beautiful life of photography. :)

When I heard they were expecting I was hoping they would let me photograph their beautiful baby bump. And they did! WHOO HOO! Ben did not come along to the shoot, but that was OK with me :) Mary Beth was so much fun to photograph, I actually LOVED that she did not smile in all her photos! And don't get me started on the light of that day! *SWOON*

Thank you SOOO Mary Beth for letting me photograph your beautiful Baby Bump!

Much Love

Jared + Desi = Married {Waupaca, New London Wisconsin Wedding Photographer}

Jared and Desi were my 1st couple to book for 2012 and the first couple to kick off an already AWESOME summer! And I knew when I first met and talked to them that their wedding was going to be a BLAST! And that it was! The wedding party was fun, the couple was all smiles, and the talk about the Hap's (Father of the Groom) socks was all the rage. For those of you that didn't notice, Hap was wearing white gym socks with his suit...hehe All I could think, was you can only see them when he sits, and that he was comfortable :) But it did make me giggle!

The ceremony was at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Waupaca. The FIRST of many weddings to take place at the newly remodeled church. The remodeled church is BEAUTIFUL! Full of light, and the reverend did a wonderful job. One of my favorite ceremonies thus far!

The guys portraits were nothing like the norm... LOVE THEM ALL!

These kids were so gosh darn cute!

See what I mean about the church? BEAUTIFUL!

Below is the tattoo for her brother that died in September

CONGRATS Jared and Desi THANK YOU for letting me be part of your special and totally AWESOME wedding day!

Much Love

Peter + Tonya = Engaged {Oshkosh Wisconsin Engagement and Wedding Photographer}

I first met Tonya and Peter at the bridal show in March - they both put their names in to win the contest. Peter was filling in his on Tonya's back while she filled out her on the table. I still giggle today about it. They were the still giggly, silly couple at their engagement session. It was a HOT day in Oshkosh, and we all made the best of it. They didn't even mind when instead of doing the smart thing and driving about a mil to location we were going I suggested walking...YES WALKING IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER!

Once we got to the beautiful The Waters we stayed outside for a while, but then we were ever so happy to get inside where their was AC. This facility is BEAUTIFUL! I mean if I could afford to hold events there and of course lived in Oshkosh I would ALL the time! Seriously check this place out!

There was a stage inside, so I told them to go up and dance :)

So Peter is a PRO when it comes to proposing, this guy didn't miss a thing! The twist tie says "you hold my heart" awwww!!!!

This coaster has A LOT of meaning! They bet at this bar when Peter threw a coaster at her!

Thank you for the wonderful afternoon Peter and Tonya - CAN'T WAIT till your wedding!

Much Love

Rob + Mandy = Love {Second shooting with Maranda Schreier Photography}

So I got to hang out with my friend Maranda in Madison last weekend, and we photographed a wedding with the kindest couple, and most fun but not out of hand wedding party I have met! This couple was more thankful and patient, and organized, and well just plan AWESOME!

I was going to share all my favorites from the day, but I am just going to share a few with you...

The first one is right before Rob is walking up, and can you see Mandy on the Right? She didn't poke her head out once, she was restraining herself. This moment to me is beautiful. If I was Mandy I would have totally looked out the door. I kept waiting for her to do it, and for Rob to look at the door but it didn't happen.

And this one...oh yea I love when couples kiss on the neck, you get a REAL smile, and love just glows on their face!

This wedding party was AWESOME!

These dresses I am going to say again, were BEAUTIFUL, elegant and simple - LOVED them!

 

 

This duck photo is for the Bride - for her love of ducks <3

 

Oh I am a sucker for 1st dances and Father/Daughter dances :)

 Thank you again Maranda for having me along!

And THANK YOU Rob and Mandy for letting me be part of your special day!

Much Love

Konopacki Family + Spring

This wonderful family was kind from the beginning - they were great to photography, and they were great to talk to. She was interested in photography and what I do, and asked lots of questions, which I am happy that I could answer! (I love talking photography, so I was giddy when she asked all the questions she did :)

This family has 3 wonderful boys - the newest addition Nolan was the main reason for the photos. And as I am not a newborn photographer I was upfront with what I do and don't do. And we I think made it work! Nolan was the best baby too, he slept the whole time! While the other little guys were running around and having fun with the pinwheels I gave them. 

I wish I could share ALL the photos from that windy blustery day, but here are my favorites!

They above photo just makes my heart melt....right?

And in newborn safety little Nolan was laying on Mama's lap the whole time :)

I LOVE the below photo, because the little guy had an orange before the session, and we didn't notice till later. I thought of getting rid of it, but I think it's so kid :)

"PINWHEEL"

Thank you so much Konopacki Family - you have a beautiful family!

Much Love
