Fall is such a crazy time of year for photographers!!  I wanted to have this up last week, but I had a work trip to Puerto Rico and I forgot my external hard drive which resulted in a week off of editing any photos. :(
 
Scott and Ashley's wedding day was just beautiful.  This wedding was shot for Dani Stephenson Photography and I want to thank her for inviting me along... all the way across the state!!!!  You can see her blog post along with the ladies here.
 
I do have to add that Scott gave me a new knick name that I do kind of like... T-dizzle. :)
 
Thanks again to all!!
 
 




















We ventured to Ashley's Grandpa's farm.  I love when couple's have awesome locations that mean so much to them!

Thanks to both Ryan and Amber for having me be a part of their special day!

Chris and Megan, thanks to you as well for allowing me to be part of you beautiful day.  Congrats and best wishes to a fun future!!

Enjoy!!

These are a bit different than my normal edits, but they haziness seemed to go with the day.  This is my third session with Amelia and she is so sweet!!  Shy at first, but after about 20 minutes she starts to warm up!!

I am excited to say that he mommy is having another little girl!!  Some pictures of her baby bump are below too!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!











Once she saw the playground equipment, she was way over me and my big black camera!! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!!  If you are driving through downtown Mauston, don't forget to look for the new studio being set up along with Crazy Daisy Photography!!

She wanted to be held, then run and play with her Daddy.  She is for sure a Daddy's girl, it is so cute to see!! :)  At one point I even told Matt to beat it and go enjoy a drink at the Body Shop since we were close by!!  Yes everyone I toture parents by telling them to go relax for a bit!!

I hands down love these.  The light was perfect and we used new locations that everyone probably drives by daily and doesn't give them a second glance.  Matt will tell you we were in weeds, but those weeds were beautiful. :)

Enjoy!!




these earrings are forever lost in the field.














A few pictures from Ella's birthday party!!  Cakes made by Tania Clark of Jossabean Sweets!






i claim these two goofy girls!


Ella's mommy is expecting again and before this cake was brought out, we all had to guess the sex of the baby.  the room was divided.  i am happy to report for probably the first time ever, i guessed right!!  this is such a CUTE idea!!

Grace is an extremely sweet girl and rocked out her session on a rather hot day as well.  She just hung with me while mom waited in the car as we made our way to a few different locations!!










 
Thanks again!!!!

Meet the Brown Family Extended!!!  My friend Rita planned this session for her Mother-in-law and Father-in-law that were here from Kansas for a visit!!  If you look hard enough, you will see Grandpa sporting the Jayhawks logo!!

First photo, our ice breaker!!  I had so much fun in this session, the kids were AMAZAING!!









Loved these little cabins!!!





This family also traveled from Kansas as well!!!

Thanks to the Matti family for putting up with the heat!!!











I have to be quick with Miss Ava... she loves to hide from my camera!!

Thanks again Wilkinson Family!!! 












We were at this location literally 2 minutes and couldn't handle all the mosquitoes living there!!

HOW SWEET IS HE?!?!?!  So fighting through rain and mosquitoes we were able to capture some sweet baby bump pics!!  Geena is due this coming Friday and I wish them both the best of luck in their new adventure!!!

Geena is a photographer herself (check her out here) and loves black and white pictures, so I am changing things up for her and doing an all B&W post!

I am headed out of town this weekend for some much needed family time and to celebrate my father-inlaws 80th birthday so this post isn't as long as I want it to be, but wanted to get something posted before we took off for the Northwoods!  Even in pouring down rain Trevor and Jessica had an amazing day and they never let it dampen their spirits!!  The Waterfront in La Crosse was super kind in letting us have the run of the place so we could get some pictures before the wedding. 

Thanks again to everyone for involving me in this special day and allowing me to capture these moments!!





Right after the First Look!!!!




Emily and I both share the love for "headless" protraits.  Sounds morbid I know. ;)

And onto the maid of honor... can you say A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!!  She totally rapped her speech and at moments left the bride and groom in shock with her written words!






All the single ladies, all the single ladies... now put your hands up, up in the club......



She sings too!!!



 
Congrats Trevor & Jessica!!!

Here are a few shots from the day!!!  Thanks again to Doug & Courtney for sharing you knowledge and newborns and much more throughout the day, it is greatly appreciated!!!








A behind the sceens with the wonderful ladies at Blue Dandelion!!  They were so amazing to learn from!!!

And a special thanks to Dani for giving me the opportunities, for pushing me to learn, and for the encouragement! Check out Dani's wedding day post here!

Here is my view of the day as the second shooter!!  We are there to capture different angles and views of the wedding day and to help the main photographer with anything they might need!!  It is a great way to learn from some of the best!!











 Iggs is a big softball player and the field was at the request of his lovely wife!!






A different edit for me, but I like the mood it gives!!

LOVE the buttons and yes, the cupcakes were super yummy!!

Their crowd was simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.







Again, many thanks to you all!!

We just did a mini-session at home for Lake and I have to say, she was relaxed and couldn't have cared less that I was doing anything to her for awhile... then she does what newborns do, pee... poop... and get hungry!!

Enjoy her sweetness!!!

Lake's Grandma made her this and the mirror was Lake's Great Grandma's!!





 This was at Mom's request... Dad calls Lake "Hippo"!

 This is Lake the day she was born.  She was alert the entire time that I was at the hospital and turned her head everytime she heard Mom or Dad!!

I just want to thank everyone for all the support in my first full successful year of business!!  You are all amazing and have taught me so much, I send much love to you all!!  I am SO grateful for being able to do what I love!! 

A new year means new experiences, new goals, new friends, and well, new pricing and packages. Pricing is always something that photographers have a hard time with... pricing can range all over the board and honestly there are a lot of us out there to pick from!!  You just have to know your style and pick your photographer from there... do your research to make sure the photographer's style is something that you are looking for in your photos!

I also want to just put a reminder out there to everyone that this is not my full time job, even though I would completely LOVE it if it was. I work 45 hours a week and travel quarterly where needed.  I also have three beautiful girls that I love spending time with and throughout the last year at times have cried for mom's attention.  I need to spend a little more time with them this summer on the weekends... so with that being said, I will be taking a few less weddings this year.  I feel my strengths are in sessions that are more one on one with children, families, etc and would like to focus my time more on where I feel my strengths are.  I will be accepting 4 weddings a year and will leave some dates open for second shooting weddings.  I have only second shot one wedding with the amazing Dani Stephenson and found it to be very fun and informative!!!  There are some amazing photographers out there that I would still love to work and learn with!!

The girls showed up a bit earlier than expected so we took it easy on waredrobe changes and kept them covered to stay warm!!  These are a mix of photos from the hospital and at their home.  There is so much I could say about the girls journey in getting here, but my lunch hour isn't for much longer!!  Just know that my prayers were with them then, when they were born, and will always be!!

I am truly honored to be a part of their lives!!

This is Emily!!!!
