Avery: Senior

I met Avery on a grey afternoon in downtown Stoughton. One of the many things I love about this job is finding new and interesting places that I would have never otherwise explored.  Stoughton has provided a wealth of fun background options.

Weizenicker Family

It was fun to get to know the Weizenicker family. We explored some of the great parks in the Stoughton area and finished just before the clouds got too dark.

I absolutely can't resit a family (well, Dad primarily) who insists on the dog coming to the shoot because she IS part of the family.  Lucy was a fun addition to our time together. I'm pretty sure she and Daisy May (my dog) would have had a blast together.

Nick: Senior

I spent a wonderful evening getting to know Nick and his parents. We visited a couple of great locations that showcase the beauty of Madison.  We were both surprised to learn that while we have been in the same school for multiple years, our paths have never crossed.  I'm now glad to add him to a list of wonderful people I know.   

















Shannon + Ben = Love

Shannon and Ben's wedding was an absolute blast! The weather did not start out promising for an outdoor wedding, but 15 minutes before the start of the ceremony the skies cleared, the rain moved on, and we got to enjoy a wonderful day on the Wisconsin River. Congratulations Shannon and Ben!









Jessica did an amazing job with makeup and veil adjustments. 
 




 Aren't these adorable programs?!?!
 




She's watching Shannon get ready.
 








Bright sunglasses and adorable shoes were topped by 
the bridal party dancing their way down the aisle.



  



 
 Balloons were let go in remembrance.



 
 In a case of terrible timing, Shannon and Ben had to put their beloved dog, Diesel, to sleep
2 days before their wedding.  =( He was honored in multiple ways during their ceremony.



 
These adorable flowers and veil, as well as the the bridesmaid's necklaces 
were hand crafted by Judy Thanas.  She custom designed each item.  
Let me know if you would like her contact information.
 




 



 
 Love the colors, love the shoes, love the dresses!  Love, love, love this!

Reece: Senior

After so much blistering heat, I was shocked not to be drenched in sweat during Reece's shoot. We got to wander around downtown Stoughton on a beautiful evening.  Reece is another student I've known since middle school and now he's gearing up for his senior year.  Crazy!  I've never gotten to take pictures of a car before so this was a fun new adventure for me.

Rekken and Kazh: Doggie Fun!

My friend called the other day to check if I would take some pics of her dogs and I jumped at the chance. Rekkon and Kaja are 2 of my dog's closest friends. Yes, my dog has friends. =) Additionally, both of her dogs are beautiful!

Kazh is a Tibetan Mastiff.



Rekkon is an Australian Shepherd.

Sarah: Senior

It was so much fun to take pictures of Sarah. She is the sweetest thing and I've been lucky to know her for a couple of years. Sarah has volunteered in my classroom and always been a friendly face in the hallway.  Now she's going to be a senior.... I can hardly believe it!

Rachel: Senior

I got to reconnect with Rachel at an amazing location recently. She was a beautiful bridesmaid last summer and I was so excited to take her senior pictures this year.  Additionally I've been wanting to do a shoot at Pope Farm Park for a while now.  Last summer I missed the peak sunflower blossoms by a week. Thankfully we had were there at the right time this year.  Rachel was a trooper as we trekked through scratchy fields in sweltering heat.

Alexis, Heather and Aronn: Family Time

I just had to share.  This is my sister, brother-in-law, and adorable niece.  I can't believe how big she is getting.




Isn't she the cutest thing?




Nick: Senior

Nick was 'lucky' enough to have his senior pictures taken after family pictures on the 100 degree day. Despite the heat and length of the day, he did a great job!
