{Katrina + Dennis = MARRIED!}

Katrina and Dennis were married on a beautiful September day. The morning began as cloudy and chilly, but quickly turned into a summery afternoon with sunny skies. The ceremony was held at Larkwood Chapel - a beautiful wedding chapel only a few miles outside Green Bay. The architecture was marvelous and flowing, offering Katrina the most beautiful rooms to prepare for the big moment, along with offering us as photographers many unique shooting locations and props. The ceremony was so intimate and personal - giving all their guests an opportunity to truly partake in the love Katrina and Dennis have for one another by experiencing it along with them.

The wedding was a double celebration because it was not only the joining of two people in wedded bliss, but also the joining of a family. Dennis brings to the marriage his two children, Heather and Austin, who now have another person in their lives to care for them and love them unconditionally. They could not have chosen someone better for the task.

Kendall Turns 6 Months

Two weeks ago we had our first session with baby Kendall and she came in looking to make a great first impression. All smiles, giggles and curiosity, she most certainly met her goal! Kendall is long and lean like daddy but has her mother's bright smile and sense of joy. At six months she is already standing up with help and making her way from one end of the room to the other. Kendall's excitement for the notice of others make her such a fun little subject to photograph. Every time we tried to get her attention, we were rewarded with grins and fits of giggles. She was eating up every bit of it, and so were we.

Kirsten Turns 9 Months

Baby Kirsten is, in one word, precious. We wanted an opportunity to really show off this beautiful innocence and that led us to doing an outdoor photoshoot. The wildflowers and lush long grasses framed her little body and lend to us ideas about our own childhoods - the excitement of exploration and discovery. Kirsten was very natural outdoors, playing with anything she could find and getting distracted and excited by everything new that appeared. We were so happy to truly be able to show what a beautiful baby girl Kirsten is with her bright blue eyes, perfect white skin, and little pink lips. It made for a very relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.

{Bethany + Dustin = ENGAGED!} Part II

Part II:

As the afternoon wore into early evening, we switched locations to a nearby beach. Dustin proposed to Bethany on the beach at Mackinaw Island on the fourth of july. The story is picture perfect - a chilly night, fireworks bursting in the background, and four special words written in the sand. Bethany now has her own little firework fixed in a band of gold around her finger to remind her of the love they share and the night that began it all.

{Bethany + Dustin = ENGAGED!} Part I

Part I:

On a summery September day we met Dustin and his fiance, Bethany, at his grandparents' farm near Luxemburg. The location made for beautiful photos - fields of yellow flowers showing golden in the sun, a rustic barn with layers of red paint peeling to reveal years of dedication to the tasks at hand, and plenty of land for their puppy, Tanner, to play about in. What made this location even more beautiful was that it was a place they were emotionally connected to - a place that feels like home. Bethany is smart, organized, and completely dedicated; Dustin is hardworking, easygoing, and full of joy. Together they enjoyed with us a day of celebrating their love for one another.
