Ketchup

So, it has been a minute since I have blogged. A lot has been going on! Some good and some not so good. If you follow me on twitter, you probably know that a couple weeks ago a very close friend of mine passed away after a long battle with cancer. Sad. Although it broke my heart to know she won't be here physically anymore, I am also very happy that she is no longer in any pain. Since I met her at my job in the mail room  at college, Mike and I literally took a one day tour of Wisconsin. (yes...I worked in the mail room while going to college, for the record...next to photography, working in the mail room was by far the best job I have EVER had for a few reasons...1) the people I worked with were awesome and 2) I got to drive all over campus in a big red van. And when I say all over campus...I mean on the side walks and all!)

River Falls is 5 1/2 hours away from our house. 

It was totally worth the 11 hours we spent in the car.

Moving on to the good...it is graduation party season, horse show season and most importantly wedding season! In the past couple weeks we have been to a graduation party in IL for my cousin Missy, an actual graduation ceremony for my cousin Tom, we have been to 3 horse shows AND I have second shot another wedding with the lovely Kayla of Kayla Richards Photography. 

So, for your viewing pleasure...here are a few from the horse shows:

And a preview of the wedding from this past weekend:

I am also planning our wedding (ok...Mike is helping too...but I am the keeper of everything wedding haha). Which is going well...I will have some more posts on that coming up! I am so excited to start making everything for our wedding! I will however share with you a photo of our rings:

I was so excited that we finally found Mike's band :D

I also found this cool Sketchbook project while I was searching for wedding stuff. You sign up, they send you a sketchbook, you draw in it, send it back and it GOES ON TOUR!!! Sweet. So literally TONS of people get to look through these books while they are on tour. How freakin' sweet is that?! I am not much of an actual drawer...but I doodle. A LOT. I am also pumped that this tour comes to Chicago next May. I can't wait to go and see it! 

So, when you see me carrying around this little book...you now know what its for :)

Thanks for stopping by :D 

I will be posting about this past weekend's wedding soon!

Dani & JT | Anniversary Photos

Meet Dani & JT Smith. 

They have been married for almost 2 years.

They are adorable and LOVE to laugh and have fun!

Here are some photos from the shoot:

We started off at the John Michael Kohler Art Center. There are some super cute places that are around the building...like this little garden sitting area :)

Did I mention that they have the *BEST* facial expressions?! Because...they do. SO. STINKIN'. CUTE!

After meandering around the Art Center we went over to the Mead Public Library. There is a fountain in front of the library that is really neat to get photographs in...well, ok not gonna lie...its a lot neater when there is water in the thing. But, never the less...these two rocked the camera and here is what we got:

See what I mean?! Ahhhh-dorable!

Next we stopped down by Lake Michigan.

And last but not least, my favorite-est spot :D

A little cobblestone street right by the river in Sheboygan. Love this street. Hmm...I am pretty sure that I could take photos here all day. All the long grass and vintage-y buildings and the street. Ahh...yes. :D Anyway, while I am day-dreaming of this street, here are some photos for you to look at :D

Let me just say that the light was AMAZING while we were down this street. Thumbs up for great light!

Thanks again Dani & JT!! It was a blast working with you!
