Germantown Family

Saturday evening I was out at Scott and Margaret's lovely home in Germantown to photograph their family. We started with Scott's old Pontiac Lemans and ended with story time, a special and sacred ritual for many families.

Holly Christine Stahl Foundation "White Hot Concert Event"

It was a pleasure to photograph the "White Hot Concert Event" at Carl and Kim's house this past Friday Evening to honor their niece Holly. Holly tragically died on her way home from college for Christmas break this past year. The family put together a Foundation in her name to raise money for local charities. I was happy to do what I could for the family and foundation. It was a sea of white with almost 300 people in attendance. It was breath taking to see...

For more information on the Holly Christine Stahl Foundation visit:

Holly was going to school at Minnesota for Interior Design (which is what my degree is in) and we share the same birthday so although we never met, I feel a connection.

And don't forget to "LOVE LIFE"!

There are "Love Life" (Holly's motto) bracelets for sale through the foundation. Holly's cousin Taylor put this map together of all the places the bracelet's have gone. You can track it as well on the facebook page: http://http//www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Holly-Christina-Stahl-Foundation/206391712723893

Abie - Cudahy High School Class of 2012

Earlier this week I was down at Grant Park in South Milwaukee for Abie's photo session. What a beautiful park right on the lake! Made me realize I need to spend more time by the lake. It's so beautiful!

Craig + Amber = West Bend Wedding

Saturday was Craig and Amber's Wedding. The ceremony and reception took place at the Washington County Fair Grounds in West Bend. We headed to Kettle Hills Golf Course in Richfield for the post-ceremony shots with the wedding party. The forecast called for low 70's and scattered showers but it ended up being sunny and hot! That's Wisconsin weather for you!


Sorry Craig, your sensitive side has been revealed!

Kevin - Arrowhead High School Class of 2012

Yesterday morning I drove out to Kevin's grandparents house in Pewaukee for his portrait session. They have a beautiful backyard with a little pond that apparently Kevin helped build when he was younger. I had a great time, what a fun bunch!

Deegan - 6 months

We were out at Rotary Park in Menomonee Falls for Deegan's 6 month photo session. We squeezed in some family photos as well. It's so amazing how fast time goes. I swear I was just out at their home taking his newborn photos.

Jordyn - Pewaukee High School Class of 2012

Monday evening I had the opportunity to photograph my beautiful cousin Jordyn out at her family's farm in Pewaukee. Yes, I know another cousin is graduating! I don't know what I'm going to do next year. Jordyn has been such a help recruiting friends to get their photos taken by Jessica Lauren Photography! She's awesome and I owe her a big 'ol "THANK YOU"! :) I hope you like your pictures Jordyn!

Mitchell - Pewaukee High School Class of 2012

Earlier this week I photographed a rather handsome young man...I can say that because he's my cousin Mitchell! After having to reschedule twice due to weather it was finally "on". We couldn't have had a more gorgeous day either! We met out at Frame Park in Waukesha for his Senior portraits. Makes me feel so old...!

Jeremy + Stephanie - A Hartford Wedding

This past Saturday I was out in Hartford at the Shauer Arts Center for Jeremy and Stephanie's wedding. We snuck off to the Bed and Breakfast they were staying for some pictures. Here's a sneak peak of the beautiful wedding!

A few weeks ago I had the privilege to help who I like to call "The Great Sarah Gwidt" from Sarah Gwidt Photography http://sarahgwidtphotography.com/ out with some second shooting for Chris and Amy's wedding up in Steven Point.

Sarah photographed my wedding, so of course I think she's amazing! (see her blog post here)...

She's been my mentor and I'm sad she's no longer doing weddings because it's so much fun working with her and learning from her when I have the opportunity!
