Fall Sweetpeas Promotional Photoshoot

Our fall model, Eden, did a great job for us, even toughing out a break for rain right in the middle of our shoot.  She was full of expression and so excited to be a part of our promotional session.  Eden is wearing a dress and gray leggings by Tea as well as accessories (gold belt and rhinestone headband) from Sweetpeas.  The super-cute fall jacket is by Dino Bebe and the sparkly sequin shirt every little girl dreams of is by Kate Mack.  Hairpieces and all outfits available at Sweetpeas in De Pere.  Perfect outfits to get everyone excited for crisp leaves, time outdoors with family, warm scarves and pumpkin spice lattes!  Sweetpeas has excellent turnover for each season, so be sure to stop in and see what they have in store for fall, and select outfits for your next photo session!  Happy Fall, Everyone!

Brianna’s Senior Portraits!

We traveled to one of our favorite photo locations for Brianna’s senior portrait session.  When we arrived, she had a full entourage in tow, which may have been good thinking on her part since carrying her prom dress alone was a two person job. ;)  We had the perfect amount of cloud cover and got a few photos in with Brianna and her mom, as well as Brianna and the cutest little dog Cricket before the skies opened up with a torrential downpour.  We waited it out for a bit, but ended up having to reschedule for a few days later.  Having two separate days gave us a great opportunity for a variety of light, as well as more of a chance to get to know Brianna who is looking forward to her first year on the track and field team and making future college plans.  Enjoy your senior year, Brianna!

{ Ashley + Eric = MARRIED! }

I cannot stress the simple beauty of Ashley and Eric’s Wedding this August.  Everything was just right - little pops of color and romantic details without going into opulence.  Her dress was an a-line with a colored sash and no train.  The clean design of it was so gorgeous and flattering and the vintage buckle at the waist was a perfect highlight point.  The other thing that made it wonderful was her bridal party who were incredibly in-tune with Ashley’s every need and so excited for the union.  The bridesmaids and bride even busted out a choreographed dance as a surprise to everyone at the reception... and these girls... they knew how to move!  Everything was exactly what a bride could hope for: simple, fun, beautiful and romantic.  Congratulations Ashley and Eric, we wish you many years of happiness!

Maryssa’s Senior Portraits!

We love senior sessions! They offer us so much creative freedom and the opportunity to meet some really awesome people like Maryssa!  We had perfect weather for Maryssa’s senior session a few weeks ago - the fields were getting to that wild summer bloom and the evening sun gave everything a warm glow.  Maryssa brought along her two dogs, golf gear, and (simply amazing) prom dress for her session which gave us a lot of fun stuff to work with.  The prom dress is this elegant blue-gray color with a viney floral overlay that was perfect for the wild, untamed bottom of a waterfall we were shooting in.  Together we got to make some stunning images that will be unlike what everyone else is handing out this year.  Best luck in your last year, Maryssa!

Camilla and Maggi’s Mommy and Me Session

One of the most magical sessions we get to be a part of are mommy and me sessions.  All too often, mommy is the one stuck behind the camera on family outings and at big events.  She is there for every little thing her baby needs but there are always so few photos of the two of them together.  I remember going through our old family albums and realizing the only photo of my mom and brother when he was a tot had half her head cut off  - a result of daddy behind the camera ;) .  Having mommy and me photos are a special document of the bond between you and your little one and a timepiece for them to have for years to come.  There is just nothing like mommy love. <3

Maggi set up her session with her daughter Camilla in the back of their home, which sits right on the edge of the bay.  We got to meet her little girl, who was shy and reserved watching our every move until she decided we weren’t too scary... then it was playtime!  It was a blast spending the afternoon with them in such a beautiful area.  They chose perfect outfits for their setting and we loved getting to create these special images.
