Senior Photography | Meg | Retzer Nature Center - Waukesha, WI | Class of 2018

This gal. What a stunner! There is no denying that she has an incredibly kind and loving heart, and you don't need to know her well to be assured of that truth. As I was talking with her, she described wanting a "country/rustic" look. And myself, never wanting to miss out on a chance to photograph at Retzer Nature Center, suggested we go there, and I could not be more happy about the results! The pop of color that the yellow flowers add is seriously swoon worthy! Another swoon worthy element...her SHOES! (I may have been a tad more obsessed with them than is healthy, but oh well!) Meg has one of those smiles that just radiates. I had the best time photographing her! 

After she wraps up her senior year, she's planning to become a pediatric nurse, and I have no doubt in my mind that God is going to use her to be a light for many kiddos going through a challenging time. God's blessings on the rest of your senior year, Meg!

Engagement Photography | Aaron + Megan | Retzer Nature Center - Waukesha, WI

Where to begin? Almost 24 years ago, I made this handsome gent a big brother for the second time. Although, I'm sure he would agree that there's a difference between having a baby brother and having a baby sister. For example, having a baby sister brings so much more joy (and perhaps more screaming).

Growing up, I often thought about the woman that he would marry one day. I never doubted that he would get married someday, I just knew that it would happen and that when it did he would be an exceptional husband. He has a huge heart and truly cares about the ones he loves. 

Enter Megan. I make it a frequent habit to ask my brothers if they're seeing anyone, because I know that none of them would ever just tell me if they were dating a girl. One particular time when I asked Aaron, there was a pause. Jackpot! My brain kicked into overdrive as I thought about all sorts of questions to ask. However, not wanting to be too much of a pain, I stuck to the basics: name, how they met and her job. He answered them and I was satisfied...for now. As I talked with him more, I eventually stopped seeking more information about Megan. Instead I just paid attention to how he sounded when he talked about her and their time together. He was truly happy and as a little sister, what more could I want? 

It was a special experience to photograph their engagement pictures. Having the chance to not only observe another love story in the making, but a love story of my own sibling was a feeling that I won't soon forget. 

But perhaps that's enough of the gushy stuff. (There will be plenty of time for more before their big day in July; so I will cut myself off here! haha)

Introducing my big brother, Aaron, and his beautiful fiancée, Megan!
