Steven's party for his graduation from UWM was a great success! We were both so thankful for the friends and family that were able to make it. Thanks again to you all for making it a night to remember. And a huge thank you to our friend Carl Stevens from Artists Eyes Photography for taking these fabulous candids!!!

carrie & chris

This bride asked for snow on her special day and boy did she ever get it! The storm subsided enough for us to capture a couple outdoor portraits:) It was a beautiful wedding at the Gardens and Chandelier Ballroom. We love local weddings - especially when there is a snow storm. Congrats Carrie & Chris - it was great working with you again:)

siegl family

This family portraiture session was very special to us. We were able to work with one of our former clients/beauties once again - Elizabeth. We did Elizabeth's modeling shots last year. It's such a pleasure capturing the interaction and fun of a family - especially this one:)

kim & brian

This weekend was the first weekend we really felt the fall weather. But this couple were not phased by the chill. We were especially excited to shoot at Brian's parents pond - it was the perfect spot for portraiture! Gotta love the bikes too. Best wishes to the newly weds:)

jackie & nate

Jackie & Nate are one of the most photogenic couples ever!!! You can really see the love between these two. What a perfect night it was to shoot. We can't wait to see the shots we get at their wedding next year!

This little bundle of joy is only 4 weeks old! She was quite friendly with the camera:) We look forward to capturing her growing up.

It was another beautiful day on in West Bend on Sunday. We had a lot of fun shooting engagement pics for this hot couple! Bev and Dave are naturals behind the camera and are simply adorable together. We are really looking forward to shooting the wedding day pics next year!

joielyn & cory

This Kenosha wedding was a hit! The weather was perfect and we found a fabulous location to do the portraiture - thanks to Steven's creative eye;) Joielyn's roses were the truest red I have ever seen! They even had the city light the lighthouse downtown in their honor! You can really see the love between these two. We were so happy to photograph the event:) Best of luck to the newly weds!

casey & brian

A pumpkin patch was the perfect choice for this fall wedding couple:) Casey & Brian are so adorable! Luckily the rain held off for us to grad some great shot! We can't wait to shoot their wedding next October.

tanya

Tanya was the sweetest girl to photograph. We LOVED the fact that she is an artist and brought her gear along. Best of luck to you Tanya as you finish up your final year of high school:)

lindsey & andrew

FUN - it's the best way to describe shooting Linds & Andy's wedding this weekend! You may remember them from the fabulous County Fair engagement session. It was great to see some familiar faces too. Everyone really knew how to kick back and have a good time - not to mention a few laughs. Gotta love the props:)

ferny

This senior is also building her modeling portfolio. It was so great to do her hair and make up for the shoot. She can move! Best of luck to you Ferny as you finish your last year of school and enter the fashion industry:)

sofie

We had the pleasure of taking photos of our friends Susan, Mick and their adorable dog Sofie. You might remember this couple from their beautiful wedding photos:) It was a blast shooting at the dog park in Johnson Creek. Our Dollie came along too - Sofie and Dollie were like two peas in a pod.

michelle & jamie

This wedding had it all... bridesmaid dresses made by the bride's mother, gorgeous flowers, fall colors, and of course the Star Wars center pieces. It was so much fun to photograph this couple on their special day. They are truly great people:)

Avi is one of the most beautiful baby boys we have ever photographed! His eyes just light up and his expressions are adorable. We were so excited to photograph him since we met his parents at a wedding earlier this year. We can't wait to photograph this little guy again soon:)

kristin & dan

We had a blast shooting this couple at the Camelot Golf Course out in Lomira! It was so sweet to find out they had been high school sweethearts:) We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to shoot either - blue cloudy skies! Don't be fooled - direct sunlight is not the best for taking pictures - clouds are our friends. Congrats to the newly married couple!

glider 9/3/07

Labor Day I had the privilege of learning to fly a glider, thanks to a gift from Mom and Mr. B. The experience was amazing. I had great instruction - thanks Scott - and think this is something I could get accustomed to. 3000 feet above the limitations of the Earth give great perspective on the world below. Enjoy the show.

Well, some of you have heard of it, but have you ever actually seen it? This summer we spent countless days by the pool at my mom's (thanks again mom!) Our dog has been known to love the water so much she will just jump right in! Check out these clips - super cute! We love our Dollie:)



gma

My Grandma is turning 70 years old this weekend. We had a fabulous night of celebration at one of our favorite mexican restaurants, La Chimenea, in Germantown. Here are the photos that Steven took of us on Labor Day and that I had framed for her bday:) I love you Gma!!!!

This couple is just amazing. You may remember them from one of our modern guestbook samples. They are just too cute and soooo in love!

the.lost.cooney




Well, we were enjoying coffee and the morning dew ... when all of the sudden we looked out our windows and noticed a stray raccoon roaming the neighborhood. We watched as he seemed to be very disoriented and in much pain. So Steven coerced him into a bucket and had him picked up. We were told he had distemper or rabbies - poor little guy.

kristin & brett

I was so excited when Kristin called to hire us for their engagement pictures! I went to highschool with this couple so it was a super fun photoshoot! They are so adorable together. We actually worked with their dog Cayman last xmas on a pet session. She is so hilarious - she actually dives for rocks (see slideshow).

We wish them the best as they continue to plan their wedding to be set in the Bahamas!!!

It's always an honor to witness the joining of two lives into one. The love that Brianna and Tyler had for each other was more than apparent and a breeze to catch on camera.

We are just so honored to be a part of it all.

karen & scott

We were happy to capture the memories for my brother's wedding down in Nashville, TN earlier last month. They were great sports jumping in the pool! Check out the album Mom bought them as a wedding gift.

lindsay & joel

We had the privilege of spending our last Saturday with Lindsay and Joel. What a lovely couple. Documenting their day was an honor and great fun (0-7 you guys were awesome). Though the weather didn't cooperate with our hopes of capturing outdoor photos of the gorgeous couple, the inside of the country club and beautifully decorated reception hall proved more than adequate.

Lindsay and Joel, congratulations on your new adventure together in life.

amy & steve

From the exchanging of wedding vows on the banks of Lake Geneva to the yacht ride and grand entrance to the reception hall, one word describes Amy and Steve's day - beautiful. Though the heat was intense at times we had a blast working with Amy and Steve and their wedding party.

deck.done






Steven is such an amazing man! He built this deck with his own bare hands, all by himself! I was so completely blown away by his effort and will power in getting this job done. I tried to help as much as I could - but I was a real wimp. He did this on his own and I am so proud. Gotta love the last picture;)

We had a great time shooting Jennifer and Brian's engagement. Bark Lake was a perfect location and allowed us to capture stunning photos of the husband and wife to be. We can't wait to shoot their wedding next year.

selika & tom

There isn't enough to say about our wonderful time with Selika, Tom, and Alex. What a gorgeous couple! The ceremony was small - just the three of them - and very intimate. We were so honored to be a part of everything and help capture the beauty of their wedding day.

Such a wonderful couple to work with. I even told the bride this was our first 'hollywood' wedding - because she looked just like Uma Thurman!!!!

Best wishes to them both:)

carrie & matt


































We love shooting weddings like this! Carrie & Matt were so relaxed and so comfortable in front of the camera. They had cool games to play at the reception (one of which was who could get the most clothespins on someone without them noticing - yes we got tagged too:)

It was a sincere blast capturing their memories for them.
