Such a beautiful day for two lovely people, inside and out.

Katie + Kevin | Engaged

September 30th, 2015

I couldn’t love these photos more.  Between the sweet subjects, the obvious connection you see below, the setting, and I could go on…just a great day.  We started out at Colectivo Coffee and I have to say huge thank you to them for letting us take photos – their locations have such great style, a photographers dream really (or at least this photographers, especially being away from Milwaukee for so long!).

Anders | Class of 2016

September 22nd, 2015

I had such a great time walking around Green Bay getting to know Anders.  He is a vibrant, kind, and funny person who will do great things (AND I finally had someone to share my “6 degrees of Kevin Bacon” Barry Sanders story with! 😉 )

Katie + Kevin | Sneak Peek

September 19th, 2015

I really tried to narrow this down to two or three photos, after all, that is what a sneak peek is, but I just couldn’t. sm Katie & Kevin_9638 sm Katie & Kevin_9819sm Katie & Kevin_9929 sm Katie & Kevin_9840 sm Katie & Kevin_9906 bw

 

Lots of sessions already booked this fall so all that is left is below.  Email me to book something 🙂

Fall mini sessions

You never know what’s going to happen when you have little kids in extended family photos, but this family was so fun and relaxed that the kids just smiled through it all (and I think sometimes at things that were going on behind me 😉 )

Jennifer | Class of 2016

August 28th, 2015

Jennifer has worked hard to get where she wants to be and that means she’ll be playing Division 1 basketball next season!  Always amazing to meet someone who really knows what they want and has the dedication and talent to make it happen.  Hope you have a fantastic senior season and many more after that!

This is the second time I was able to capture this family while they visited Door County.  The forecast (and sky!) was not in our favor, but I bought new umbrellas hoping to ward of the rain and it worked!  The rain held off until we had captured plenty, even the kids requested photobomb in motion here.

I asked the kids to say one word that described their mom on 3, so I count, 1…2…3… and they say, “Beautiful”, “Amazing”, and “Lovely”.  One of my favorite photography moments ever.  That is why I do this, amazing families like this one 🙂 sm DeRosa_7543 sm DeRosa_7525 sm DeRosa_7457 sm DeRosa_7429 sm DeRosa_7499 sm DeRosa_7466-Edit bw sm DeRosa_7642 sm DeRosa_7479 sm DeRosa_7587 sm DeRosa_7557 sm DeRosa_7596 sm DeRosa_7413 bw sm DeRosa_7691 sm DeRosa_7532 sm DeRosa_7470 sm DeRosa_7600 sm umbrellas

This session was all about Sunshine, possibly the world’s sweetest pup.  I met her the first time I photographed this family and if you look through my website you will find her sitting on a red swing with a sweet little blondie who is growing up too fast!  When I heard that Sunshine wasn’t feeling well, I reached out because I even though no one has ever seen them, I treasure the photos that we had taken with Gracie when we knew it was close to her time.  So we found a little sunshine for Sunshine and hopefully these few moments frozen in time will be fond memories someday 🙂
