Milwaukee Wisconsin Wedding & Family Photographer

Baby Elias Scott was brought home a few weeks ago to an adorable, light-filled nursery and home, a home filled with love and dog licks, warm arms and his parents’ tired, but incredibly happy smiles. Elias was born on my own daughter’s birthday and his mom and I have played photo shoot hit and miss for years so I felt honored to be there to document his early days at home. Those days are pretty typical, I think, eating and sleeping and waking and cuddling, of course, but I know that for his parents, newly designated as such, every day is a new adventure. With fur sibling Zooey always near I loved seeing how that adventure is starting out and learning a little bit about the big dreams mom and dad have for Elias. There’s no telling who Elias will turn out to be yet, but I know from watching his little family he’ll be encouraged and challenged, supported and engaged. And judging from his room he’ll be endowed with a strong sense of play, exploration and love of reading. Sounds good to me. Welcome to the world baby boy ~

Steph and Tyler met at a wedding and I feel like maybe that is the best start a couple can ever really have. When your first sight is surrounded by people gathered to celebrate love, I mean really, that’s the end all, be all. Except for of course when people are gathered to celebrate YOUR love and for Steph and Tyler their wedding day really was the best day ever. They actually lived in the same apartment building in Madison long before they were dating and they adore their college town. They were married at St. Thomas Aquinas and were able to fill their wedding day not only with the sacrament and happy tears, but also time meandering among flowering sunflowers and laughing with their favorite people in the world, watching the sunset and marveling at how gorgeous the Capital looks when paired with a suit and lace wedding dress. They celebrated, they cried, they laughed (a lot) and in the end it was everything they hoped it would be – sweet, fun, personal, oh-so-memorable and an incredible new chapter in their love story.
