Erin and Chris- Married

Erin and Chris were married on June 27, 2009 at the family cabin in Wisconsin that is tucked away in the beauty of God's country. Everything about their wedding was a true representation about who Erin and Chris are...right down to the wedding rings that an artist created for them.

What really astonishes me about Erin and Chris is that they celebrate the little things in life that sometimes are overlooked by others. The are beautiful people inside and out.















































Katie and Dane- Engaged

Have you ever met someone and instantly connected? That is how I felt with Katie and Dane. I can easily get lost in conversation with these two for hours and hours (or as long as the kids permit). They are a beautiful couple and I am so happy that they are in my life.

A few weeks ago we met for their engagement session. The direction that they received from me was to be themselves and to have fun. That is exactly what happened. Here are some of my favs from their session.

Joey is soooo big

Joey is nine months old. I have to keep telling myself that because it just doesn't seem real to me. You might remember Joey from his newborn session but then again, he has grown leaps and bounds since then. He still has those beautiful brown eyes and on top of that he has added a killer smile and sweet giggle. He is a boy after my own heart.

Here are some pictures from his recent portrait session.
