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…
Local Spotlight: Islands of Brilliance
Do you ever feel (every once and awhile) there comes across something awesome in your path?! For me, it was nearly 5 years ago when I was first introduced and volunteered with Islands of Brilliance.
Furthering my love of community and empowering all people to make an impact, I hooked onto donating photography to Islands of Brilliance.
Started by parents of a son on the autism spectrum, Mark and Margaret created the organization to pair autistic kids with design professionals to create an opportunity to instill confidence. As someone who had babysat an autistic neighbor, then volunteered at the Brookfield Indoor Soccer complex with special ed students, my heart quickly became attached to the organization.
In my undergrad at Marquette University, there was a service learning component (where again I chose disabilities as a focus…) The Milwaukee Center for Independence (MCFI) became the organization I would work again with disadvantaged members of the Milwaukee community.
Furthering this love of community and empowering all people to make an impact, I hooked onto donating photography to Islands of Brilliance. The annual event, this year is celebrating the 5th Anniversary is at Turner Hall in Milwaukee on November 22, 2019 at 6:00 p.m.

All the pretty details . . .
One of the most exciting things to me is snail mail. (Just an old soul here!!) Honestly, I think this obsession started as a child--when I would 'pen pal' relatives and friends alike...now one of my favorite things to receive is a future bride's details.
When I received Kat and Nate's invite I was beyond excited to photograph all the details. They used a photo from their engagement photos for the return sticker. (Counting down the days until these two tie the knot in May!)
Here's a few pictures from their engagement shoot and the photos of their invitation!
Happy Sunday!
