Sneak Peek: Lakefront Proposal

Location: Art Museum Milwaukee, WI

Landon planned an anniversary dinner for 3 years of dating at the Harbor House (near the art museum in downtown Milwaukee). Before dinner, he impromptu popped the question to ask Becca to marry him.

This was my first time going into full ‘stealth mode’ to hide for a live engagement photo sesion.

We walked around Harbor House and did a fun mini engagement shoot immediately following her Y-E-S!

They are the absolutely the sweetest couple inside and out. Stay tuned for more…

Sneak Peek: Engagement Session [Kat + Nate]

Location: Frame Park Waukesha, WI

Cheers to the first few weeks into this new year! Honestly, it's wonderful to be editing under warm blankets, by the fire with candlelight. Earlier today I met up with Kat and Nate in Frame Park to photograph their engagement session. 

This wintery session was every bit as adorable (as you will see in the sneak peek below...) but man was it COLD, too!) We tied a Target dollar section sign to a park bench, wrapped Kat in a blanket several times, and she even trusted me to draw on her cowgirl boots! We had a blast bringing all her cute ideas for this session to life. (I'm seriously counting down the days until these two tie the knot!) 

These winter sessions are always fun; and you can read a few of my tips, in an earlier post on winter engagement shoots.

Here's to all the warmth of love this year!

Sneak Peek: Chancellor Family Session

Location: Bradford Beach - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Chancellor family is near and dear to my heart. We met a few summers ago while I was lucky enough to photograph the marriage of these two special parents, Karen and Byron (at a gorgeous lake house). 

While a typical day here in Wisconsin consists of unpredictable weather, we lucked out for this beautiful session last weekend at Bradford Beach. (Almost as beautiful as their wedding day...almost...)

From total strangers...to now basically a member of the family; it's been such a blessing to continue to watch every member of their family grow, and celebrate all their victories in life! I love that we've shared countless laughs and made tons of wonderful memories over the years.
