:Cailey is ONE:

Cailey turned 1 back in August and we finally had great weather that allowed us to get outside for her session.  Much to my surprise, my little :twinkle toe: {for those of you who are new, my grow-up plan is called the :twinkle toes: plan, so the kiddos who are plan members are called :twinkle toes:}was not just learning to walk....she had decided to do that shortly after our 9 month session! this fairly newfound love of walking and being outside meant this beautiful little girl no longer was going to sit still, nope, she was gonna make me work for it.  however; with a little help from an oversized hat, a ride-on train toy, a chair, and mom + dad we managed to complete our session successfully!  it's hard to believe in just 2 months it'll be time for my next adventure with this pretty little lady....and i thought my kids grew up too fast!

Justina+Brian|WI Dells Wedding


justina + brian were married in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony last August in the Dells.  guests took a boat to their ceremony location; while we were lucky ducks {pun intended} and took a historic wisconsin duck to the ceremony.  a breathtaking location, unique transportation, and a black + white theme all contributed to their perfect ceremony which was followed up with yet more gorgeousness at their reception at Buffalo Phil's {where the beautiful bride & much of the bridal party was employed}.  a donut cake, black + white satin wrapped chairs, amazing centerpieces, one of the couple's favorite bands playing during the cocktail hour, a delicious meal, rockin' dj, and a couple whose love radiates from one another made every minute of their day both extraordinarily special and unique.  congratulations to Mr. + Mrs. Rowland.  i wish the two of you and your gorgeos children a lifetime of happiness.

{Ashley+Luke|WI Wedding Photographer}


ashley+luke were married last august in a beautiful ceremony.  it truly was a beautiful day.  gorgeous bride, amazing weather, lavish dress, amazing cathedral, and a super fun reception.  here are two of my favorites from their day {wich again were done many months ago, i am just neglectful to my blog and am playing catch up}

{Ashley+Matt|Married}

better late than never, right?  i admittedly forget about my blog way too often. 
matt + ashley were married at the end of july in marshfield, wi {their wedding photos were edited within a week of their weddings, not a full 5 months later like this blog post would lead one to believe}.  the rain held off throughout their ceremony, but arrived just in time for us to be ready to head outside for some post-ceremony pictures.  thankfully, with the help of umbrellas and the grace of God, we managed to get out of church without being soaked, made it to Hudson's for drinks and the rain cleared just in time for us to be able to get some shots downtown marshfield before dinner.
