{ Caty + Pete }

Caty + Pete had a beautiful day for a fall engagement session last month in Caty's hometown of { Lake Mills }...so cute! I love shooting in new places, and we found quite a few great spots. These two met in college where Pete played football, and he actually went on to play for the { Washington Redskins }! How cool is that!? They also wanted to include their new puppy Lambeau in a few shots, so do enjoy his adorable appearance. Thanks again for a fun shoot guys--I had a great time and am looking forward to the wedding!! :)

{ Baby Nes }

Fall in love with { Ace's } little brother Nes...born extremely adorable and snuggly at the end of September. The first two weeks of life are simply amazing.

{ Emma + Jacob }

Yep, as I'm sitting down to blog on October TWELFTH, it's snowing outside. What's worse...that it's snowing in early October or that I secretly like it because I'm already excited for the holidays to come? Luckily, I shot these images of Emma + Jacob last weekend, when we had perfect fall weather. I love watching families grow and photographing kids as years go by (and they go by quickly!). Photographing Emma + Jacob this year included a few missing teeth and superheroes were all the rage. Love love love it!

{ Heidi + Hyden }

Heidi + Hyden had a beautiful wedding on the top of Rib Mountain a few weeks ago. What a day! Heidi + Hyden were awesome, and taking pictures on and around the 'mountain' was a fresh setting and perfect for fall. They are also huge dog lovers, so their chocolate lab Tilly was along to join in the festivities of the day! Congratulations again, Heidi + Hyden! I hope you enjoyed your day to the fullest--I had a lovely time! :)

{ Loren + Peter }

I had the pleasure of photographing Loren + Peter's lovely wedding at the { Heidel House Resort & Spa } in Green Lake, Wisconsin, over the Labor Day weekend! We lucked out with perfect weather for a lakeside wedding. Their event was filled with lots of great details, and Loren looked amazing in her { Jasmine Couture } gown. Everything turned out fabulously!! Loren + Peter - Thank you again for having me be a part of your day! It was so much fun getting to know you + I wish you guys nothing but the best and many years of happiness to come! :)

{ Jodi + Adam }

I had a great time photographing Jodi + Adam's engagement session in Madison a few weeks back! We visited the { Allen Centennial Gardens }, { Monona Terrace } + took a few shots around the Capitol buildling...Jodi was a trooper in her heels. :) We also lucked out with gorgeous weather to boot.

I love hearing each couples' story of how they met, and Jodi + Adam's is a cute one for sure. (They crossed paths working at Adam's grandma's grocery store!) As Jodi put it, Adam was the cute 'college boy' back for the summer. (I am still giggling over this--love it!) Thanks for such a fun night guys! I had a blast getting to know you--next August will be so much fun!! :)
