Green Bay WI Photographer | Caitlyn Senior Photography

How often does a girl get to twirl in her pink and glittery prom dress while standing in waterfall ?! Not often! When Caitlyn  came to her Green Bay WI Senior Session I wasn't sure what type of prom dress photos she was expecting. After a few mins I finally asked " Sooo does this dress have to stay clean...ooooorrr are we going to play in the water?" Caitlyn was all for getting the dress dirty! ...and that's what we did!!

Milwaukee WI Photographer | Ankerson Family

I recently met the Anderson family in Two Rivers WI while they vacationed over the Labor Day weekend. They drove 4 hrs to stay at Point Beach State Park! This was also the first time at the beach for Wyatt, Scarlett and Beckett! You can see that the beach was a lot more entertaining then me, at least for the kids! So while the kids wondered around and enjoy the nice weather, sunset, sand and puddles! I took mom and dad for a few photos.

Manitowoc Wisconsin | Brittni & Craig

I met Craig a couple of years ago through his twin sister Denise. He wanted me to photograph his proposal to Brittni! So we came up with a plan and a place . The Buyeske family and I hid and waited for the signal...which never happened! Craig like every guys was nervous so I had to run through sand to get the perfect shot and everything turned out amazing! 

A few months later we scheduled their engagement session and last August they married at Mulberry Lanes Farm http://mulberrylanefarmwi.com .  Their wedding was beautiful, the venue, the flowers, the food, the cute little drawings from Brittni's students placed on each table with a little message about love, and first dance was perfect! 

So when I decided to organize a few style shoots I knew I needed to contact Brittni and Craig to model for me! They're such a fun, easy going and loving couple. I'm so thankful to have met them and their families!

Their Love Story 

From Brittni "I know it sounds so chiché to say that Craig and I fell in love the first time we met. But that is exactly the truth about our relationship. Plain and simple, we were meant for each other. There is one other person a part of our relationship...Karen! She captured our proposal, caught every magical moment our engagement session, followed us down the isle, and a mini session in between. We could not be happier to have such beautiful pictures to decorate our home. Karen is amazing and I can't wait to see our relationship continue to be captured by Karen for years to come"

Vendor Love

With only a week to plan the shoot, I contacted a few vendors to provide items...

Paige & Zach | Engagement

Yesterday I met Paige & Zach for their engagement session! It was cold... like 29 degrees cold in the middle March! They were so fun, quiet and easy to photograph we had a great time. I can't wait for their October wedding. Here's a few of my favorites... 

Sara & Danny | Engagement

PHOTO OVERLOAD!!! This is what happens when photographers are stuck inside for 5 months, because of freezing temps! AND we had sun!!! Sara is my hair stylist.. She gets me and my OCD over the perfect hair color. We had such a great time last night and you can clearly see the love and happiness that they share! Super excited for Sara and Danny's June beach wedding!
