Newborn Harriette | Milwaukee Natural Light At Home Newborn Session

Harriette Lane came home this September. Sweet cheeked and with all 10 little fingers and 10 little toes in place, she has stolen the hearts of all 4 of the humans waiting at home for her this summer. Her big brother and sister are intrigued and fascinated by her (respectively) and her new (old) home feels a little more complete with her in it. Her parents are not new to this parenting gig, but adding a third is always an adjustment. However, in the few short hours I was with Harriette’s family on this beautiful afternoon I was left absolutely certain that she picked the perfect family to guide, love and cherish her. Welcome home Harriette ~

Caroline & Christian | Tented Estate Ceremony & The Commodore Reception on Lake Nagawicka

Caroline & Christian have been a part of each other’s lives, families and stories since they were practically kids. This is a fact that made their wedding weekend even sweeter because every moment could have unfolded with an inevitability edging on ennui, but instead the impossible happened. Their love for one another bubbled to the surface of every interaction and each sweet moment with family and friends became the stuff of new core memories. They fell even more in love with one another with every step towards the first look, with the meander to the tented ceremony aisle, with every toast, with every dance, with every big hearted smile. And yes, the flowers were unreal and the dress was incredible, the food was delish, and that Mother Son dance to Footloose brought the house down, but really it was perfect for one single reason. Caroline & Christian became their own little family. And that, my friends, was the whole point.

…and then just because we always are looking at the people but the people are usually looking at the lake!

Claire & Joe | The Commodore & St Johns Northwestern Wedding

What’s better than spending a summer day at the lake? I submit the following: surrounding yourself with your favorite people in the world, marrying the love of your life AND spending a perfect summer day at a lake. Add in craft cocktails, beautiful flowers, a stone chapel, heartfelt toasts and a gorgeous sunset and I think I have cracked the code for not only wedding day perfection but any day, elite level awesomeness. Or rather, Claire & Joe have cracked the code because all I have written simply describes their St John’s Northwestern Chapel & The Commodore wedding day in late June. It was a great day for everyone involved as these two have loved each other for a long time. They found each other as teens and have already built a sweet life together, but even so, the emotions were high and all of their joyful parents were so very happy to see their children officially say *I DO* . We join their friends and family in wishing them all that is good in life because we know that these two said yes to the right person at the right time in the right place for all the right reasons.
