Newborn Avery | Milwaukee North Shore At Home Newborn Session

There’s nothing sweeter than a newborn babe except for a one / two cuteness combo of a newborn babe with a perfectly mannered fur sibling. Newborn Avery is so very lucky to have Lieutenant (LT for short) as his already trusty side kick. LT was super interested in lounging about while I got to hang out with his sweet family and I think he even understood the assignment when it came to a few full family poses. Mom & Dad were more than willing to offer cuddles (and belly scratches) to the appropriate parties and I can’t tell you how sweet a time it was getting to meet Avery with a camera in hand. I can show you though. I present: Avery at home sweet home.

Danielle & Austin | Mt Lacrosse Wedding

Danielle & Austins’ sunny, summer wedding in La Crosse was something of a homecoming for these two. Austin is in medical school (although by the time I write this it may be post-school, but the path of anyone in medicine is always winding.) Danielle is his rock and has her own busy life as an educator, but La Crosse is the place where things feel a bit…calmer, nostalgic, full of friendship and key for these two: fun. They started the day at Mt. La Crosse, the ski hill turned alpine summer dreamscape and the perfect place to host an outdoor wedding with greenery as your preferred backdrop. They asked for privacy during their first look but then they invited us on a hilly walk through the landscape to make some sweet memories enjoying the fields and the feel of sun on your skin. Surrounded by their favorite people they said I Do and kicked off the party with a school bus ride to the church-turned-ballroom space of Capella Events. We loved their attention to all of the little (edible) details of a good Wisconsin Wedding paired with gorgeous florals. If there was ever a wedding post prompted by “tell me you got married in Wisconsin without telling me you got married in Wisconsin” this is it: cheese curds, full pints of Culver’s custard, flip cup and bags, a 50/50 raffle, pong and bucket hats and the hilarious twist of the cornhat gang which I am guessing was an Iowa-based contingent competing for superiority with their Wisconsin neighbors. It was the best day for two of the best people and we are so honored to have been there to capture the story in images. Cheers to Danielle & Austin!

Julia & Adam | The Commodore Nagawicka Wedding

Julia & Adam’s wedding was a true delight of our season because the two of them were so incredibly present and honest and REAL. From the moment we stepped into the boathouse with Adam and the Nagawicka Suite with Julia, we were in their world – a world where the soundtrack is broadway and the colors are autumn-ly perfect, a world where the MOB sings at the ceremony and the bride throws a “rock on” hand motion to her bridesmaids. In this world the stories are cherished and the friendships are tried and true, where the couple tested and proved the axiom if you love someone set them free. And so it was that on this gorgeous September day Julia and Adam became one another’s – freely and without reservation, with an already full life of experiences in their past, ready to build their future together. I’m sure there is a musical number that would do this story justice – maybe Julia & Adam will fill me in. But for now let this set of lovely and gregarious images be the visual soundtrack to your fall wedding dreams – Cheers to Julia & Adam!
