Kayleigh & Mark: 2 Year Anniversary.... and more

I love that photography tells a story.  And I'm so honored to be able to share in the big and small moments in my client's stories.  This shoot has one of those big moments and it's one that I will remember for years to come.   

Kayleigh and Mark contacted me to take pictures for their 2 year anniversary.  It's been a year since I took Kayleigh's senior pictures. I was looking forward to a chance to catch up with her and get to know Mark.

We started hiking a trail at beautiful Devil's Lake.  


While swatting a 'spider' she imagined to be in her hair, Kayleigh almost missed what Mark was doing.  Thankfully I did not, so I was able to capture this memory for them.
 









After a few touching words from Mark, Kayleigh said 'yes!'.







And then with smiles even bigger than before, we continued with their shoot.




Congratulations Kayleigh and Mark!

Thanks for helping me check an item of my photography wish list.

Michael: Senior

The initial plan for Michael's senior pictures was to take them in the snow.  Who would have thought we would have had such a tough time making that happen for him?!?!?  Such a crazy Wisconsin winter we had.  Thankfully he was flexible and we had a beautiful spring day for his shoot. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation Michael!

Steven + Kristen = Love

My little brother got married a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations Steven and Kristen! I can't post any picture from the ceremony because I was in the wedding, but I do have before the ceremony and during the reception pictures to share from their day. Welcome to our family Kristen!

Jennifer, Joylynn, Steve, Mark, Anna, Kirstin, Elizabeth and Zach

I love repeat families! And it's even more fun when they bring along more of their family for me to get to know. I first met Joylynn 6 months ago at their shoot at Lapacek's (wonderful) Orchard when we realized that I went to high school with her husband. For this shoot they added in Joylynn's extended family which their kids clearly adore.  Thanks for a great time guys!
