Jenny & Paul's Milwaukee Wedding

This past Saturday I had the great privilege to photograph Jenny and Paul's drop dead gorgeous wedding. We were all over the place that day. We started at her sister Kristine's house for hair and makeup in Pewaukee. Then off to Brookfield to St. Dominics Catholic Church were the couple had a full mass. Then, we headed to Wauwatosa for our first post-ceremony stop at the Bluemound Country Club were we took their engagement photos (see here)

Then we were off to the Milwaukee Art Museum downtown where we definitely were not alone. We counted three other wedding's while we were down there. We ended the night at the Milwaukee Athletic Club where they held their reception. Every last detail was beautiful.

Chuck and Nicole's Downtown Milwaukee Wedding

I had the privilege to photograph Charlie (Chuck) and Nicole's wedding this past weekend. Their reception was at Grace Lutheran Church on Broadway then we headed to the Marcus Performing Arts center for the reception. It was supposed to rain, but I didn't feel a drop of rain all day, so yeah for that! Here are a few of my instant favs while sorting through all their photos!

Bennett 6-7 months

My little man is going to be 7 months old on Friday. I'm tellin ya time really flies. My husband Chris and I got to celebrate our first Mother's Day and Father's Day and can't wait for the days of handmade cards and gifts from him! He's well on his way to crawling. He scoots on his belly from one place to the next a little too well. I'm not ready to start chasing him around the house and hiding all my valuables from destruction! The kid does not sit still and is continually spitting up from right after his first feeding to right up until the next! I'll be more than happy when those days are over! He's still the joy of my life! Here are a few pictures I took last week and a few of him and Chris on Father's Day!

Loren and Janda's Family Session- Cedarburg

I was out in Cedarburg last week at Covered Bridge Park, the home of the last standing covered bridge in WI with Loren and Janda and their adorable girls Kylie and Karsyn. It was almost Karsyn's 2nd birthday and she informed me Mickey was going to be at her party! I've been taking pictures of the girls since Karsyn was 3 mo old! Man, how time flies!

Doug & Mary's Pewaukee Wedding

I was out in Pewaukee last Sunday to photograph Doug and Mary's wedding. The weather was beautiful, the jazz music at Piano Blu where the reception was held was great, and it's just so nice when you see two families join together so harmoniously!

Ryan & Chase doing what boys do...Menomonee Falls Childern Photography

I had so much fun Sat. evening chasing little Ryan and Chase around their yard! They brought out all the toys boys love! From baseball to four wheelers to cars to basketball to supersoakers, to you name it! I kept picturing my own son doing those things some day and coudn't stop smiling and these cuties!

Craig & Amber's Engagement Session - Rotary Park

Last Sunday Craig and Amber met me at the very hoppin Rotary Park in Menomonee Falls for their engagement session. As you can see by the first photo, opposites attract for these two. Country boy meets City girl and the rest as they say is history!

Joe & Elizabeth Menomonee Falls Engagement Session

I was out at Lime Kiln Park/Mill Pond Park (two of my favorite photo locals) in Menomonee Falls last Sat. taking engagement pictures for my cousin Joe and his fiance Elizabeth. I have to say he's done quite well, Elizabeth is perfect for him! Besides the unbelievable heat, we had a great time and I couldn't be happier with the day.

Thank you for the honor of photographing your wedding this fall! Congrats you two!

Noah and Melissa's Menomonee Falls Family Session

This blog post is long over due! I was out at Menomonee Park Memorial Day weekend photographing Noah and Melissa and their darling boys! I have to say the highlight of my time with them was the song Melissa sang to get baby Liam to smile. It was basically just his name over and over and the minute she started singing his face lit up and his head started moving back and forth dancing. It was adorable!

Madison Wedding for Lindsey Z Photography

I had the opportunity to be a second shooter for Lindsey Zahalka of Lindsey Z Photography in Madison in early May. These pictures of Ashley and Elliot were taken at the Olbrich Gardens which were absolutely beautiful, the Capitol and the Union. All the pictures of Ashley and Elliot were posed by Lindsey and I shot them from different angles.
