• Once again, still playing catch up on blog posts!! The Hanson Family is up next tonight! We shot their fall, family session when their little one, Chloe was only 6 months old! Now, she’s 13 months old and a totally different baby 🙂 The fall colors and the happiness from Chloe’s adorable little smile made the session so awesome. Chloe’s parents, Kayla and Curt were admiring her the whole time – it’s really amazing how quickly babies grow up – I’ll be blogging about Chloe’s one-year-old session sometime this summer, as well! Be on the lookout 🙂

    Happy Weekend!

  • Ohhhh my goodness – be prepared for one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE WEDDINGS!! Tabitha + Jake’s wedding at Meadows on Lind was an absolute stunner! Everything about the day was perfectly planned and executed. We had an awesome 75 degree day with tons of sun and a light breeze – what more could you want in the middle of May?? Tabitha’s dress, accessories and flowers were out of this world and with her adoring bridesmaids by her side, she said ‘I Do’ to Jake, her handsome and hysterical husband 🙂 May is prime time for peony’s – and boy did Tabitha’s bridal bouquet have just that! I was in LOVE with her bouquet – you’ll see below how much I loved it 🙂 It was so fun hanging out with these two – we didn’t actually meet each other until 2 weeks before the wedding during our “mini-surprise-Jake-at-lunch” engagement session!! We shot for about 20 minutes in their woodsy backyard – and unbeknownst to me, Tabitha hadn’t told Jake that he was taking pictures that day on his lunch — oh boy!! He was a SUPER good sport and completely just went with it -that’s  the sign of a good guy, Tabitha!

    The Meadows on Lind venue is one of a kind – beautiful reception area, a shaded ceremony spot, and it’s ON A LAKE! We had the opportunity to shoot portraits in so many interesting spots – I think I may have broken the record for number of images shot at a wedding – woops 🙂 Anyways, Tabitha + Jake have incredible families and friends – I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to document the biggest day of their life (so far…!) and I wish them nothing but the best. Cheers to the Renneker’s!! 🙂

  • My first wedding of 2016 is coming to you tonight!! So exciting 🙂 Kellie + Ryan’s April wedding was absolutely beautiful! They had every little detail worked out just perfectly – I love Kellie’s calm demeanor and Ryan’s quick witted personality – they compliment each other so well 🙂 Kellie’s dress was a DREAM! I absolutely die over dresses with sleeves – especially LACE sleeves! She looked so beautiful and I know Ryan felt the same way 🙂 We had a very nice day (considering it was early April!) and had the opportunity to go to Lindenwood Park for portraits. The ceremony was so meaningful and well written – there was so much emotion and I absolutely loved what Kellie + Ryan picked out for their message. Overall, it was such a great day, so many great inside jokes and some of the funniest speeches I’ve ever heard. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Cigelske 🙂
