Appleton Engagement Session – Lawrence University – Josh & Katie
Josh and Katie are a super sweet and talented couple that met while pursuing music at Lawrence University in Appleton. Katie found me through a friend of ours who had attended Lawrence University with Katie and whose wedding I photographed the previous summer. Then we found out that we had another connection through the Pastors that did Sam and my premarital counseling, as it was friends of their performed Josh and Katie's wedding ceremony! When talking to Katie about where to take their engagement photos, it seemed only...
Milwaukee Engagement Session – Lion’s Den Gorge – Jared & Emmy
This was my first time visiting Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve so I arrived early to scout out locations for Jared and Emmy's session with my husband Sam and 1 month old baby in tagging along. Emmy had been very kind about working with my due date when scheduling their engagement session and was sure to let me know baby Rosemary was welcome. It was a perfect spring evening, with a cool breeze coming off of the lake, GORGEOUS blue-green water, and so many beautiful pinky purple flowers...
Appleton Memorial Park Engagement Session – Carl & Katie
We had the perfect late spring evening for Katie & Carl's engagement session. The setting was was golden, many flowers were in full bloom, and Katie and Carl made my job so easy. I got to know Katie back when we were both in youth group together and it was so special to reconnect when she and Carl got engaged and she started looking for a wedding photographer. Katie is such a sweetheart and I knew would be a joy to work with and I was excited to...
Neenah Engagement Session – Doty Park & Kimberly Point Park – Justin & Tralese
Justin and Tralese reached out to me to be their wedding photographer earlier this year and I was so excited I was available. I've known Justin for years as we were at the same church as Justin and his family for my early growing up years and he even coached my Pee Wee Bible Quiz team. I got to meet Tralese for the first time and realized her sister was in my small group through Chi Alpha Campus ministry while I attended UW Oshkosh! I was so glad...
Appleton Maternity Session – Apple Blossom Orchard – Stephen & Christina
This post is especially fun for me to share as this is the 3rd time I've gotten to photograph Stephen & Christina! Last winter I got to take their engagement photos, last summer I photographed their wedding, and this spring I got to take some maternity photos to capture their anticipation of their little one coming in July. I was particularly thrilled when I found out Stephen & Christina were expecting as I was pregnant at the time and could already picture our little babies being friends. Christina...
Our Maternity Session – Spencer Lake, Waupaca
I'm a little late in posting these as our little girl is already 4 weeks! The delay wasn't because I was waiting on our photos, (our photographer got them to us the same weekend!), but rather because I took a while to write this post. Trying to capture the emotions of pregnancy and now the anticipation of being a mom in a few short words was trickier than I thought. Sam wisely pointed out that is hasn't really been just the two of us for quite a while. Being...
