Mid-70s, a pleasant breeze, and a bright blue sky full of sunshine.  We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect summer day for Jessica and Abe’s wedding!  Everything about their day was incredibly beautiful.  The old country church situated at the top of a hill.  The delicate lace of Jessica’s amazing cathedral-length veil.  The bridesmaid and […]

February 14th.  Such a romantic day for so many people… but for Jessica and Abe, it’s more than just Valentine’s Day.  It also happens to be the day they met.  (At a wedding.  Where she was a guest.  And he was a wedding crasher!)  Because it carries that extra significance to them, it also became […]

They were sitting in their physics class at the beginning of the semester.  The instructor was splitting the class into groups by calling out his interests and hobbies, and the students were supposed to raise their hand if he called one they too enjoyed.  They were very specific, and slightly obscure interests and hobbies… so […]

They met at St. Paul’s.  He was a retreat coordinator, and she was a retreat volunteer.  They began dating, but not long after, Sam moved back home to the Twin Cities.  He told his mom that they would either break up, or he would move back to Madison and they would soon be engaged.  Well, […]

Look at these two.  Aren’t they the sweetest??  Shannon and Keith met in high school.  Shannon’s first memory of Keith is from freshman year: she was getting onto a bus for soccer practice.  Her friend had to run back into the school for something, so Shannon was carrying her own backpack, her soccer bag, her […]

I love photographing these two so much!!  I got to photograph Sandie & TJ’s engagement session last summer, almost exactly one year ago!  (You can see that post here!)  We had just as much fun this time around, except this time we got to celebrate their family of THREE as they anticipate the arrival of […]

When I pulled up to Kari and Ben’s house, I was floored by how charming it is!  It’s the perfect farmhouse tucked into the country on an amazing plot of land.  I couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous setting for their session!  All week leading up to their session, the forecast was showing rain […]

I am so excited to share this session!!  Tom and Megan are great friends of ours.  Megan and I also happened to be pregnant at the same time, which was so much fun!  Our due dates were 7 weeks apart – Megan’s at the end of February and mine at the beginning of April.  Much […]

What an amazing couple!!  Ana and Sam met through the St. Paul Catholic Center at the University of Wisconsin.  Sam had recently graduated from UW and was working an internship as a retreat coordinator at St. Paul’s, and Ana was a student and one of the retreat volunteers.  After Sam’s internship ended, they dated long-distance […]

I mentioned that a few weeks ago, I got to attend a meetup of local photographers at Kate’s studio (of Eloise and Peas Photography)!  We had so much fun practicing our skills, learning from each other, and creating some new friendships!  Since I happened to be 31 weeks pregnant, someone suggested having me dress up […]
