Fabulously fun barely begins to describe Rick and Kelli’s wedding day. Rick and Kelli are so super sweet and awesomely in love that we just had a complete blast the whole day. The girls were getting ready in Mauston at the church, so I got to take some shots of them getting dressed and, of course, Kelli’s gorgeous wedding dress with its royal blue strip down the back, so gorgeous! Plus, she already had her flowers from Wild Apples.

While I was doing that, Rob and the guys were mostly chilling. I won’t let him lie to me, the guys are super easy, all they have to do is get dressed and they look amazing. Check out the black and white of Rick just sitting in the pews, isn’t he so handsome?! Plus, check out his smile, can you totally tell that he’s super excited to be married to such a gorgeous woman?

So, this is our year of, kinda, funny ring stories. Let’s just say that the wedding day just wasn’t the ring bearer’s day. Poor kid, he didn’t have the rings when the officiant asked for them, but don’t worry, they were just hiding in a  back room. Crisis averted. Plus, I think Rob and I will have some competition with the ring bearer, check him out in the reception shot.

Talking about the reception, it was held at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells. The whole night was rocking. I am also enlisting Rick on teaching Rob how to dance, because he was awesome. No, really, he has the moves, don’t let him tell you any different.

Okay, okay, enough chatter, check out their amazing wedding! Feel free to leave me some blog love, because you know that I love to read what you have to say!

Congrats, Kelli and Rick!

I realized this week, that I have barely posted any full posts from this last year. What a slacker, and what a year it’s been for us, full of ups and downs. So, I’m going back in time to this past winter with Jake and Laura and sharing their fun engagement session. There was snow (I want snow now because it doesn’t feel like Christmas without it) and cold, but Jake and Laura were troopers and we had so much fun together. Plus, Laura has the most amazing skin, I think you will all agree when I say she’s pretty gorgeous. We started outside in the cold and snow, headed to the capital and ended with Barnes and Noble, where they went on their first date (correct me if I’m wrong guys!). They are both big Star Wars fans, so we totally took advantage of that and had some fun in the bookstore.

Enjoy! And please, leave me some blog love, I really enjoy what you have to say, unless it’s spam then it’s outta here!

Seriously gorgeous! This is one of my absolute faves of the whole year!

And this one with the light, so luscious.

And then there’s this one, where we had them kiss, over and over (I think our clients like that part the best).

Good afternoon and welcome to another Thursday’s album. Today I’ve got a set of three 3×3 inch accordion albums for a new little man. I had the privilege of capturing these moments when Matty was just a week old, can you believe how much they grow in just a month? This is the perfect gift for grandparents, what’s better is that they come in sets of three! That means one for mom and dad, one for his parents and one for her parents. Or you can just keep them all to yourself, but it’s way more fun to share, don’t you agree?

I simply adore how tiny these are. They fit in your purse, even your pocket, and have a magnetic closure so they are sure to stay shut while you’re carrying them around. We have just started offering printed covers this year, which I’ll admit is way more awesome than the pink linen accordian albums that I have when Jamie was born, but hey, times change and we move with them.

Take a look at these adorable books, they are perfect for newborns, seniors, wedding gifts, okay okay, I could go on, but I think they are perfect for anything. Plus, you know me, I love albums!

We met up with Joe and Taren the first week in October, the day was gorgeous. We headed out to Pewitt’s Nest for some great fall foliage behind the two of them. Rob and I usually like to start easy: “okay, you’re going to hold each others hands and walk away . . . okay now turn around and come back!” Well, we started with a little more touchy feely with Joe and Taren. We had them climb up onto this huge tree and cuddle. I love these shots!

Then, we moved on to walking and holding hands. I love the way that the light filtered down on the two of them. We were blessed with a gorgeous couple and amazing light for the session, what can I say.

After Pewitt’s Nest, we headed to downtown Baraboo, and got some really great shots in one of the back alleys. I love all the little nooks and crannies that can be found when you’re paying attention.

Doesn’t Taren have the most amazing heels? I admit, I could never walk around on them, I would totally sprain an ankle. The shoes were killer and Taren totally rocked them for the session!

Okay, I love the look of this. That patch of vines spreading along the brickwork, then add in a super gorgeous couple. I love it!

These last two we caught by the Al Ringling theatre. I love every bit of them.

Joe and Taren, thank you for an amazing day! We can’t wait for the wedding next year, it’s going to be awesome!

Here’s just a little sneak of our fav’s to tide you over for Thanksgiving! We’ve included a couple of our favorite shots from the ceremony, the groomsmen played a trick on Shaun, of course Rob knew about this, but I was left in the dark. Typical man. But the ring was there and all was well.

I adore this shot of Sarah and Shaun coming down the aisle at the recessional!

I know it’s a “wordless wednesday” post, but we’ve finally gotten a new computer so things are moving faster than ever. Yay! So, expect more blog posts, I’ve got a ton from this past summer that should be getting up. I’ll have to have that office manager of ours keep me on schedule. Breakfast. Playtime. Nap aka mommy gets to work time. Lunch. Playtime. Dinner. This is usually how the day goes for the office manager, she’s something special, that’s for sure. Well, Thanksgiving is in a week! Where has time gone? Let’s get ready with this shot I took out at the cemetery last week, I’ve ordered a bunch of albums to make it here before Christmas, so expect more more more on the blog very soon, my friends.  And with that, I leave you with my awesomeness! (I can pretend, right?)

Well, it’s that time of year, get out your snow boots, pull the spider webs off the shovel and get outside and make some snowballs!

So, anyone who knows us, knows that Halloween is our very favorite holiday. This year, Jamie was actually into most of the activities. She helped Rob and I carve pumpkins, we headed over to the in-laws for that. Although, Jamie was totally not impressed when Rob started pulling the nasty pulpy pumpkin seeds out of the pumpkin. Smart girl, I hate that part, too. We carved some super awesome pumpkins, I made my warty pumpkin totally goofy, I also roasted the seeds for the first time.

I wanted to make Jamie’s costume myself, but as I have very little sewing skills (I have been making felt food by handstitching, I was not about to hand stitch an entire outfit) her outfit is semi-homemade. I bought a 24 month outfit, complete with ears in a grey tiger stripe, which fit for me since she is the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland, and I was running out of time. My mother in law helped, err did all the work, by sewing on a tail and larger ears. Jamie loved the costume so much, she wore it out to dinner tonight. I’ll admit it’s a bit short, that child is so tall, that she won’t be able to wear it for much longer, but she is so darn cute! I have decided that by next Halloween, I will teach myself to sew and make Jamie’s costume since I’m just not a fan of store bought costumes. I totally want to be original in my ideas, so why buy some junky costume when you can make your own super awesome one, am I right? ( If I’m not, just nod and smile, it’s what Rob does.)

Here is the whole group, well almost the whole group, we’re missing a card and the caterpillar for this shot, but it’s all I’ve got!

Six years ago today, I married my best friend. On a Friday like today.

I don’t remember being nervous at all, just ready. Ready to begin the next step in my life with the person that sometimes knows me better than I know myself.

The thing I remember most from our wedding day was when our flower girl, who was four and most likely too young to be the flower girl,  was being chased by our three year old niece because she wasn’t sharing her chips. The two little girls were running circles around Rob and I at the altar and our pastor stopped, told everyone to look at the girls, and told Rob that that is what we have to look forward to. I think everyone in the church laughed, but that is one of my favorite memories from our wedding day.

I hope everyone has memories of their own wedding like that, perhaps things that may not have gone quite to plan, but ended up being perfect anyways.

I won’t lie, we’ve had our ups and our downs, but we have been very blessed. We have the most adorable little girl in the world, and even if everyone says she looks just like her daddy, I’ll cross my fingers that a little of me is thrown in there, too. We have a home full of laughter and loudness and love, and of course we have each other.

So, six down and a lifetime more to go. Happy anniversary.

And just because a post is nothing without pictures, here is us, as taken by Rob’s mom. I swear that is the only way that we ever get family shots of the three of us!
