Amanda and Phillip

With all the engagement sessions I do, I am really starting to see how love manifests itself through the engaged couple. This couple is thoroughly in LOVE! We headed out to Bay Beach, and when it started to get dark on us we headed to Kastle Karts where I know the owner. After a little chit chat, I was able to meander down on the track to get some killer race shots. So remember, when it gets dark in your life...find some go karts. Hope the move goes we'll you guys, and enjoy the show!

p.s. Phill, Thanks for all the years of service in the military.

Sharon and Brian

These two are very good friends of mine...almost family. I have known Sharon for years, and she is the best makeup artist in the world! It was a pleasure and an honor to shoot this wedding, and I had a crazy good time doing it. It was also pretty sweet meeting family and friends that I had heard so much about over the years, but never got a chance to meet. I wish you both many happy years.

Laura and Justus

Where the heck is Homestead Meadows? After I got lost, I finally stumbled upon this quaint little farm in the woods where Sprecher's root beer is on tap and a bluegrass band is on stage. What an incredible location for a wedding. The images speak for themselves...so enjoy the show.

Adrianna

I got up early again! What's wrong with me? We started hair and makeup at 7:30 and wrapped at 12:30...as you can imagine, I took a few pictures. We covered a lot of new ground in Green Bay, and have some incredible images to show for it. Adrianna is a senior at Bay City, and is planning to become a nurse...super sweet. I am so thankful for all the nurses that helped out with the birth of my newest daughter, and for helping with Kelly's recovery. I think these are some pretty sweet images, so enjoy.

Chad and Katie

I actually got up early for Katie, so I could meet her and the girls at the salon around 9am. It takes a special bride to get me out of bed on a Saturday (or any day for that matter)before 9am, and Katie was so that bride. I had a blast yesterday...got to drive the fastest golf cart on earth, and even wore casual clothes all morning long...my kinda wedding. It did rain, but I think we did a pretty good job of making the best of it. I shot a lot of images as you can imagine, so here is a sampling. Have a good time in Hawaii, and enjoy the show.

Andrew and Melinda

We did the engagement shoot in the middle of winter, and the wedding was on one of the warmest days this year. They had beautiful wedding at Peter and Paul and then we went to a park by UWGB for some lakeside shots. I have never seen so many people piled into the back of a truck, but it makes for a good image. We ended up at the Regency for the reception. The Regency has some awesome architecture, and you always have something new to shoot. Congratulations and enjoy the show.

What's Syd's Take?

Here is an incredible view into the mind of a two year old. In this shot Sydney is watching mommy nurse Riley, and I think it is starting to hit her. I don't know if she understands that this is her sister, and she is about to have a major life change; but I do know that she kinda looks a little scared/intimidated in this shot. More to come!

Riley Jean

Introducing the precious new addition to the Hawkins home. Riley Jean Hawkins was born @ 7:58 am. She weighs 7.3 lbs and is 20 in long. She and mom are doing awesome, and the dad is hanging in there...no, I am super stoked! Thanks for all your prayers.


More pics to come!

Kirstin and Ryan

I kinda felt like we had a fourth person with us all the time tonight...Ryan's Guitar! I thought it might be difficult to squeeze it in...no problem. So, we had a blast in Depere, and I even kept my cool (since were having a baby in the morning)! So, please pray that Kelly and Riley come out of this okay; and I am gonna get some sleep since wakeup is at 4:00 am. Enjoy the show!

Jen and Aaron

First, I have to say that this bridal party (including the bride and groom) were some good times! As soon as the family pics were finished , we jetted off to Jimmy Seas. Some good times there, and then off to East Town Pub. East Town is a sweeet little place, tucked in behind the Walmart, where the Bride and Groom are well known...not too well! The reception was at The Woods and the evening weather was spectacular as you can see in the show. On that note, enjoy!

Sydney is two!!

It is hard to believe that we only just met Sydney two short years ago. She is such a blessing in our lives, and she brings us so much joy. What a fun day we had today from morning to night. Sydney awoke to a new kitchen set complete with accessories. She made us "supper" at about 9 a.m. For lunch we went to Happy Joes with Sydney's very good friend Tessa and followed that up with a trip to the wading pool, another of Syd's favorite hangout spots. Sydney got to spend a little time with Lara, Maddy, Stevie, and David--her favorite babysitters. She finished the day by getting to help decorate her own cake which was a big hit. I enjoyed having a fun day spending time with Sydney. We are very much looking forward to next week, but I know it will bring about some big changes for all of us and Syd will have to share a lot of attention with the new baby. Anyway it was nice to have a day just for her. Here is a slideshow of our day for all who missed it and for Sydney. She loves a good picture of herself! - Kelly
