Engagement Photography | David + Naomi | St. Lucas Lutheran | Bayview, WI

Ya'll one of my oldest and dearest friends is getting married! I've known Naomi since 1st grade. We've navigated the waters of high school together, which isn't unusual, except for the fact that God worked in amazing ways by having both our families move to Wisconsin in the same summer so that we could. But enough about that, let's talk about my bestie and her guy.

Seriously, there are few things more amazing that seeing your best friend light up when she's around the guy who's captured her heart. Their engagement session was all the more personal because I had the pleasure of photographing in the same place that he proposed. How neat is that!?! But wait, it gets better! It's also the place where they will be starting their life together as husband + wife come April. Three milestones all connected by a single location, a church. They've built their relationship on their love for God and their love for each other, and I couldn't be happier to see where He leads them. 

Engagement Photography | Joe + Marissa | Colectivo Coffee - Lakefront Cafe + McKinley Park | Downtown Milwaukee, WI

The frigid temperatures didn't dissuade these two! And before you think that I was a torturous photographer with no regard for her client's comfort, I'd like you to know that we took plenty of "warm up" breaks. :) In fact, I believe that because it was so cold, the energy level was heightened and we just had a great time hanging out and laughing. At least I hope they felt the same way! Their wedding in June is sure to be beautiful and better yet the weather is bound to be much warmer too! Until then, please enjoy these winter wonderland snapshots!

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!
