Kasey and Ben's New Home!
Yesterday, after many changed closing dates and struggles to get everyone on the same page, Ben and I closed on our first home. Our new address will be 1207 Shawano Avenue in Green Bay, although we won't be moving until the first of March. The house was built in 1924, and by the design plan we are nearly positive that it is a catalog home through Built Well Catalog Company that was delivered by train and assembled on site. It is American Four Square style, which is a branch of the Craftsman movement.
The house has a lot of work to be done... firstly, it is in need of a furnace. It doesn't have a furnace in poor working condition, it is actually completely missing. Only Ben and I would be silly enough to fall in love with a furnace-less home in the dead of winter! We are hoping to get one installed by the end of the week so renovations can begin and we can turn it into a place that truly feels like home.
We can't wait to have you there!
Thank you to Rita Hock for help with the photography!

Snowy Modeling Portraits with Ze!
On Thursday, amidst the white fluffy scatterings of the snowstorm, we met with Ze for some outdoor modeling portraits. Although we would have guessed that the snow would make the photoshoot more difficult, it actually added a completely new dimension to all the images. The light coating of snow that developed on all the urban objects - fire escapes, brick walls, etc - softened their industrial exteriors and the flakes that fell through the images added a little extra drama.
We had a great time getting to know Ze. He has been modeling since high school, doing print ads and freeze modeling, along with his favorite type, runway modeling. The dreads (that I'm sure caught your eye) have been a product in the making since 2004. Ze initially got interested in modeling because he loved fashion. He discovered modeling to be a natural ability and has been doing it ever since. At the end of the photoshoot we headed back to the studio for some indoor shots (and to give Ze's frozen fingers a break!). It was a great day for a snowstorm.

{Jennifer + Jakob = MARRIED!}
Jennifer and Jakob joined their lives together this past June on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The wedding was post WWII themed which included some of the most beautiful handmade details we've seen yet - birdcage veils, purple and white callas with peacock feathers, beaded fishnet gloves, and a bridal necklace that is a real family heirloom. The theme was vintage, sweet, and a little sexy. The bridal party got ready in a beautiful suite at the Astor House Bed and Breakfast, which made for the perfect (and theme appropriate) location to take all their getting ready photographs. As the ceremony began, the rain was coming down hard, but Jakob and Jennifer's friends and family seemed to be filled with joy as they huddled under the park's gazebo.
