Foto Friday | Sheboygan Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Happy Friday! What. A. Week. I think this week has been the longest so far this year. I don't know but it juuuuusssstttt did not go fast. Sigh. So, lets hope the weekend continues the trend and goes slow :) because I have LOTS to do! Lots to edit & blog. Lots to get ready for our wedding. Lots to get ready for Quiz Bowl practice. And LOTS of laundry to fold. That is kind of a big list. Maybe I should just hope for no procrastination this weekend :) Sometimes I wish I was a dog like Tucker...because then it wouldn't matter what I did. And, lets be honest here, going for a walk or car ride would totally be the highlight of the day :) As I sit here typing he is laying here snoozing...so cute

oh to have the life of a dog :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Ahhh! It's Saturday! Sorry, for the delay folks. Yesterday was a crazy day. It actually felt like Tuesday yesterday to me. Weird. Yes. I am SO glad it wasn't Tuesday yesterday because I did NOT want to have to get up this morning! haha! This week has been long and at the same time it has felt short as well. Long because it is SO.COLD.OUT. Burrrr. Like yesterday when I got in my car (at 530am) it was -7! 

So, on these cold evenings I have been going through the weddings that I didn't have time to blog last year. Oooppss. These are some of the weddings that I shot with Kayla! This wedding took place in the Milwaukee area. The couple, attendants, and reception hall were all amazing! Take a sneak peak:

I love jumping photos like this one. oooooh yes I do :) It took us like 3 or 4 tries to get this shot but we got it in the end :D

Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Boy am I glad it is Friday. I feel like this week took fooooorrreeeevvveeeerrrr to get to Friday. Maybe its because I had a 10 day stay-cation from my other job. Who knows. But, I have to say I am SUPER excited for this weekend! I am going to be at the Stephanie H. Weill Center on Sunday for the Lasting Impressions Bridal Fair! I will be giving away a free engagement session and I may just have some other deals up my sleeve :) So...brides...stop on by! :D:D 

Also, in 2011 I want to try to do a 365 project or 52 week project AND a 2 people 12 times. More on the 2 people 12 times in another post :) So...this is my first entry of Foto Friday 2011 :)

Today's foto is....

tri-folds

These little 5x5 tri-folds are my new brochures! They were so much fun to make! They came in the marketing package that I purchased. They also match my site and blog! I just love the look of them. They go so well with my logo

Happy Weekend!

Brides...I will see you all Sunday!

new year. new look. | Sheboygan County Wedding & Portrait Photographer

The day has finally come...

for an update to the site AND blog. :D:D 

The blog...is still in the works so blogger will hold me over for a little while longer. 

I can't tell you how exciting this has been for me. I searched FOREVER for something that I liked. Then...my fabulous fiance said  he would make me one. Saaa-wweeeet! So...I found a marketing set online that I loved. Bought that...then from that I made the images for the site. Oh yes. Was it difficult?...kinda. Only because I had to pickout images to put in the header. Then I had to make the header. Then I had to make the buttons and add on the other little touches. AND THEN I had to have content to fill it! Whew! After that Mike did some handy CSS work and built the whole thing. 

From scratch. 

And now...

BANG! 

Done! Love it.

Stop by the website by clicking here. 

In other news...I shot my first wedding of the year this past Saturday. :D It was beautiful. Great light, great people, small quaint ceremony. I got to use my new camera and the 16-35mm f/2.8 L lens that I rented. And let me tell you...I don't know HOW I have lived this long with out the 5D Mk II and that 16-35 mm lens. The lens is next on the list of things to buy. I rented it for a couple weeks to make sure that I would love it as much as I figured I was going to. Check this picture of the church out....

gorgeous huh??!!

and the beautiful flowers.

And lastly...Christmas...we had a great Christmas. This year was really laid back. We were able to just hang out with each other all day and for supper we went to Chinese with my mom and step dad. But...Mike got me an awesome [actually 2] present!! Check these out!!

Yesssssss those are lens coffee cups!! :D:D I just about jumped up and down when I opened these babies! 

I have also been busy getting ready for the bridal fair this weekend! So excited for that!! 

Enjoy the new digs! :DD

new. | sheboygan wedding & portrait photographer

You know that feeling that you got as a kid on Christmas morning?? Just itching to open presents to see what was behind that paper?? Yea...that is how I felt today as I anxiously waited until 3pm when I was FINALLY finished working [because let's face it...when you are waiting on a package from the UPS guy...and you KNOW its a good one...time just ticks by sooooo SLOW]. I got home and on my kitchen counter [thanks to my mom for waiting for the UPS guy to get to my house! :D:D] was....dun dun dun....a big ol' box from B&H Photo :D love that place. I think if I ever go to New York that is going to be the first store I go to. 

Anyway. I have been waiting. and waiting. and waiting. for the day that I could purchase a Canon 5D Mark II. And that day finally came! I ordered it...got free shipping AND a free compact flash card. Score! LOVE it. I LOVE a good deal. Plus SanDisk is offering some sweet rebates as well if you purchase certain compact flash cards. So I was basically in deal heaven. 

Anyway....my point is...what better way to celebrate a new camera than with a photo shoot...of the pup and the two kitties. Now...Tucker he tolerates the camera...basically because he knows he's gonna get a treat out of the deal. The cats, Ozwald and Tippy...they are a different story. Normally I bust out the camera and they are no where to be found. Well, tonight I was able to get a few snaps of Ozwald and one of Tippy. So, enjoy! 

Tucker! He's such a good model :)

 This is the 'Mooooooooom. Whhhyyyyyyy do you have to take my picture sooooo many times?!?!'

 Me! In the mirror...yes...it is propped up on some of the clothes in our closet. We are remodeling so...space is limited. :)

 Tippy...she was apparently hungry enough that she didn't run away when I was snapping this.

 Ozwald...he looks skinny in this photo. Oz is a hefty cat...to say the least....

oh, and...the new site...is rockin' :D Mike is putting the final touches on it so I can start filling it with goodies! I am so excited to have a big reveal! Can't wait for you all to see it!

oh...and one more thing...if you are recently engaged or know someone who is about to get engaged make sure they stop by the Stephanie H. Weill Center on January 9th for the bridal fair! I will BE THERE!! :D:D So excited for that as well!

Save the Date | Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Holy moly. It. Is. December. First...how did the year pass by already?? sheesh! I feel like it should only be March. But, oh well. So...as I have mentioned before...I am getting married :D:D next May. Hold on...let me repeat. NEXT MAY. Like 5 months from now May. Like oh-my-gosh-I-only-have-five-more-months-to-finish-planning May. Now, I'm not freaking out. Well, not a lot anyway :) really we have all of the big stuff done. So that's good. AND I just finished designing our Save the Date/Christmas card :D:D so excited about these. Wanna see?!?! (ok..well, you really have no choice cause I'm gonna show ya!) 

The front....

 The back...

I just love them! And they were super easy to make!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
