Ryann + Kevin

I had the opportunity to travel to Northern Wisconsin and photograph a engagement at the beautiful burlap and bells venue in Black River Falls.  Ryann and Kevin made the trip also from Illinois to Wisconsin to have their engagement session at this crazy gorgeous property where they’ll be getting married and I’m in love with how beautiful this venue is!  I love the outdoors and camping and this venue brought back some good old camping vibes.  B & B is surrounded by gorgeous trees and wildlife.  Wind blowing in the trees, trees creaking, and birds chirping.  Right where I belong.  I cannot wait to see how it’ll look during the summertime because the time I spent here during the dead of winter was absolutely gorgeous.  These guys were so fun and playful to photograph and I loved documenting that.  It was a little chilly but they were such great sports on being photographed in freezing temperatures.  Love those chilly WI winters 🙂

The S Family

The S family is growing!  I’ve known these guys for well over a decade, and these guys are some of my favorite people in the world!  What pride and joy it is to capture these kids every few years and see them change each time.  Kids are so fun to photograph, and when it’s with a family whom you photographed from day one you get to see the changes more substantially.  You see them as babies fresh from the hospital nursery and within a blink of an eye they are suddenly a talkative toddlers jumping on couches.  It just reminds me of the importance that we need to capture these brief phases before they are gone and the value of pictures.
