melissa and joe

 

Melissa and Joe were married on October 4, 2009 in Bay View, WI.
The couple's special day began in the back yard of the the Palm Tavern, with a quaint and intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends followed by a champagne toast.
We then stopped at the train yard on Bay Street and the St. Francis Seminary for an amazing shoot... what a radiant couple.  The day ended in a wonderfully catered reception at Sugar Maple, where it seems the whole neighborhood gathered to celebrate.
This day was great fun.  I've known Joe for years and feel lucky to have met Melissa through the experience, she is one of the sweetest women I've known.
What a truly lucky couple to have found each other, I feel very lucky to have been part of their fabulous day.  Congratulations Melissa and Joe!  May you have many years together filled with joy!

Flannery turns 2!
I've been photographing this little girl since she was a babe, and it's so much fun to watch her grow.  I've known her parents for years.  And since they live in Pittsburgh, and schedule shoots on their visits home, I  feel lucky to have become friends with them through this business of photos... and parenthood.

I can't wait to meet Flannery's new little sister on the way...

 

 

 

Jackson John

Jackson John was born in the wee hours of the morning to Pamela and Greg on August 13, 2009.
I've known his gorgeous mom since I was a little girl, and it was a great pleasure to visit her Green Bay farm house for our maternity shoot and see how she's grown into a fun and beautiful woman.  And now to see how naturally motherhood suits her, makes me smile.  She naturally spreads joy to those around her, and will give Jackson a very happy and blessed childhood.
Pamela and Greg have been waiting for their first baby, I hope parenthood exceeds all of their expectations.  There is no greater love.
Good luck and Congratulations!

 

 
  
 

 

Brittni and Doug

Brittni and Doug were married on August 28th, 2009 at All Saints Lutheran Church in Oak Creek with a  large and elegant reception to follow at the airport Ramada.  After some toasts, a bright red trolley car carried the wedding party to St. Francis Seminary (a favorite spot in my neighborhood) for photos.  The sheer size of their wedding party was an indicator of how loved this couple is.  And in our moments alone, I could see the tenderness in their relationship.  The day was filled with champagne and true celebration, may their life together be filled with as much joy.  Congrats Brittni and Doug!
