Lately. | Personal | Sheboygan Wedding & Portrait Photographer

well, howdy!

I know, things have been pretty quiet on the blog lately.

life has been pretty crazy lately.

and honestly...I can't believe...IT'S NOVEMBER.

seriously...where did the year go?

I feel like I say that every year.

but every year I feel like time gets a little bit faster :(

sometimes I want to just freeze time for a hot minute and never have to move forward

the best part is that lately its been like 60* outside.

amazing.

having these temps this time of year...makes me really not want the winter to come. 

I like mid-50's & 60's :)

so, in reality this post is really just me checking in...

to let y'all know that I have some awesome posts coming up

because I have had some of the most amazing couples & families to take photos of over the past few months :D 

anndddd I am SOOO excited for 2012!

so many possibilities and opportunities!

I seriously cannot wait to see where and what this next year brings :)

check back soon for some wedding, engagement, and family goodness!

Beth & Michael | Engaged! | Sheboygan Wedding & Portrait Photography

happy Saturday!

today I am off to Kimberly, WI to photograph Abby & Andy's wedding

I am hoping the gale-force winds that have blown in over the past few days decides to hold off while we are outside taking photos :)

I am also hoping for the weather to be a little bit warmer than 58...paaaa-llleeeaaassseee!

I am SO not ready to let go of summer.

or fall.

whatever the past few weeks of weather have been

anyway, today I have Beth & Michael on the blog

I met up with these two on a gorgeous mid-September day to take their photos

they were so much fun to hang out with!

we started out at Michael's parent's house

with some vintage cars

...yes...let me repeat that...

vintage cars.

ohhhh yes.

Beth told me that there would be vintage, and cars, and old-ness, and some rusty stuff.

heaven.

for real.

I probably looked like a kid in a candy store.

it was so much fun incorporating all that stuff into the photos.

after all that fun we headed down to the lake.

which was also gorgeous that day.

I've said it once, and I will say it again...I do love living so close to Lake Michigan.

sometimes it can be kinda ugly...but lately it has been such a pretty blue.

these two LOVE football.

seriously...they planned their wedding around football season ;) 

now THAT is dedication :)

they also love to laugh.

which is fabulous because there is never a dull moment!

here are some of my favorites from their engagement session!

 always laughing :)

 

in the back of a model T

 probably one of my favorite ring shots!

 seeeeee old rusty truck :)

 favorite! I told them to be cute and interact with eachother...and that is what I got! :D

 

makes me smile :)

 forehead kisses are the best

 

 love that face Michael ;)

 another favorite :)

while these two both love the Packers, their football tastes differ when it comes to college ball....Beth is a Hawkeyes fan and Michael is a Wisconsin fan.

Beth & Michael, 

thank you for spending some time with me while I took your photos! It was such a fun couple of hours! I love your spunk and love for fun and life! I really can't wait until your wedding in February!

Amanda & AJ | MARRIED! | Sheboygan Falls, WI Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer

well, it has been a hot minute since I blogged last!

my life has been super crazy & busy these past few weeks.

good, bad and ugly all rolled into one.

that's not why I'm blogging today tho, some day, maybe, I'll share :)

so in all of this busy-ness over the past several weeks I have:

shot 6 weddings

had a bunch of engagement sessions

done a few portrait in the park sessions

AND worked my other job.

along with a bunch of other junk.

to say the past month and a half has flown past me is an understatement.

but, the best part is I get to spend time with some amazing people.

and take amazing photos of those people.

today, Amanda & AJ are on the blog!

these two were one of the first couples to book with me.

so, they truly hold a special place in my heart.

they were willing to take a chance and book with me when I hadn't shot very many weddings.

so, thank you seems to be an understatement on my part!

these two were great to work with!

Kim was with me second shooting, and we were able to take some fantastic images!

their wedding was on 9-10-11.

in Amanda's parent's backyard.

on one of the nicest days in September.

just as the trees were starting to turn colors.

we have truly been lucky this fall...gorgeous weather (70's!!!!) & beautiful colors.

heaven.

now...onto the photos!!

 the flowers were beautiful! I love the colors!

 getting ready...yes...in the same house...just different levels :)

 the boys, the girls, and the bride & groom

 ceremony time!

 lots of laughs & tears, it was a very touching ceremony

 married!!

 we stopped at riverview middle school in plymouth for some photos...I had never been there before...it was great!

 after dinner we snuck outside for some bride & groom portraits.

I love old barns :D

 so naturally we had to have some portraits by it

 mmmm....sun flare :D

Amanda & AJ,

thank you so much for allowing us to capture your day!! we had a ton of fun!

xoxo

Carlie & Rory | MARRIED! | Sheboygan, Wisconsin Wedding & Portrait Photographer

a couple days ago I posted a sneak peak of Carlie & Rory's wedding.

this wedding was so much fun. 

Kim came along as my second shooter and was able to spend a good part of the morning with the boys as they got ready, as I hung out with the girls. 

these two [and their bridal party & friends] were so much fun! 

the day started out with the girls getting ready at the salon and the boys getting ready at Blue Harbor.

then it was time to go to the church and get married!

after the getting married we stopped out at North Point Park.

I really love being so close to Lake Michigan.

unfortunately there were some menacing rain clouds that decided to make its way over our heads.

but the clouds did make for some neat pictures :)

after portraits, we headed to the reception to party the night away!

Carlie & Rory really love to laugh, go on adventures and just be together.

you can totally tell in all of their photos how happy they are together.

which...makes my job SOOOO much easier.

I absolutely LOVE the way they look at eachother. 

here are some of my favorites :)

 hair did

 makeup

 I got a new hanger :D yessssss I <3 it...it really spruces up the photo ;) so now...I can bring it to all of my weddings!

 I really loved Carlie's dress. it was so elegant

 something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue :)

 the ladies...fake laughing! 

which...always turns into real laughing :)

 beautiful bride

 these photos are from Kim...love the brotherly love going on in this one

 this is one of my absolute FAVORITES!

 I am also super impressed with the boys' heel tapping abilities!

 one of my favorite moments & looks of the day :)

just before the first kiss

 aren't they just adorable?!

 I also love it when couples for-go the traditional guest book and get a photo guest book :)

the one that Carlie & Rory have, I made...so it was extra special for me ;)

but I also think its a great way for guests to leave more personal notes for the couple

 annnnddddd theeeessseeeee ladies!!!

I swear...I sit with some of THE best people at weddings! 

so much fun and laughing during dinner!

Carlie & Rory, 

thank you so much for letting Kim & I photograph your day! it was so much fun to be part of one of the biggest days of your life. I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon!

xoxo
