Dave and Maria

I have been getting my fare share of Alterra coffee this fall. We actually met up at the one in the third ward in downtown Milwaukee. I love the historic third ward! We took a little tour of the board walk on the river, and headed over to the water and my favorite park. So anyway, take a look at these lovely pics...




What a sweet old truck we found behind an old building.





Maria can be pretty serious!













I totally dig silhouettes.

Jason and Kara

I sure am getting a lot of use out of the old gps these days! I got to visit the Suring, Wisconsin area to hang out with this awesome couple...who, by the way, drove up from Chicago to do this shoot. We visited some local fields, the local campground, and a local cabin...Jason's parents to be exact. I think these are pretty sweet...hope you enjoy them.

A series in silhouette . . .






I love the farm background.


I like the casual portrait.






This arm wrestling thing is a full blown engagement shoot ritual now.












Oh yeah, they have a super sweet dog.






Another amazing sunset

Jesse and Kerri

Who out there knows where Pipe, Wisconsin is? Well it's on the east coast of lake Winnebago, and there is a super cool park with a lookout tower. We toured the local marina and a nice little bar/restaurant. Oh yeah...let's not forget Putt Putt the puppy...very cute. Putt Putt was the deliverer of the ring to Kerri. Not only did she get a ring, but also a brand new puppy. What a guy!

So of course we had to get a shot of the handsome ring bearer . . .


This is how he delivered the ring.


These two are a lot of fun together.






An old crane provided a great photo op.


The rugged Jesse


The stunning Kerri


Love this one




They did a remarkable job launching in unison and getting some air.




After the park, we checked out a sweet bar in the town of Pipe. This is Kerri's drink of choice.




A sunset really doesn't get prettier than this. Probably one of my favorite silhouettes.

Maddy "Part 1"

What can we say about this girl! People ask us every weekend at various weddings--who has your kids? Most of the time they are in the care of Maddy. Maddy and her family regularly take care of Syd and Riley. They are my kids home away from home. They make so much of what we do possible. Maddy's graduation is going to be bittersweet! She is super smart and heading to Virginia for college next fall. We can't thank her enough for being the best babysitter ever and giving so much to our family. Check back for part 2 sometime this winter when the snow flies.




Love these detail shots


laid back for sure








Hopped aboard some trains to get some cool pics








Love Maddy's unique sense of style. My girls are always coming home with interestingly colored fingernails.


Converse complete with gum on the bottom.


Love this one






We are so proud of you, and we love you lots. Enjoy the slideshow.

Chris and Christine

I Love Milwaukee! We took off to Milwaukee on Sunday afternoon to hang out with one of our January wedding couples. These two are taking my wife and I down to Mexico with them to shoot an awesome wedding on the Riviera! Needless to say...we're super stoked! We really did get a good tour of Milwaukee on this shoot. See for your self!










There is a sailboat way out there on the lake...crazy people!

This was a super cool tree, but I could not figure out what kind it was!?






Super sweet lighthouse!


This would normally be a reject because of no flash on the couple...but I like it.


On the break wall with the art museum in the background.




We went down to the historic third ward, and did some alley shots.
