Chrissie + Riley {engagement}

I've got so much in the queue to share...there is lots more blog-love on the way and to come through the winter, both professionally and personally. (Wink-wink!)  :)

Meet Chrissie + Riley...another one of my great 2010 couples! We had so much fun shooting at Lapham Peak + in { downtown Delafield }. Chrissie rocked some bright colors that were a great contrast with the landscape, and I think I even got Riley to pull a bit from his prior professional experience as one of those cute kids modeling in the Sunday sale papers. Hehe! (Sorry if I outed a secret, Riley!) We had a great time swapping dog stories and laughing at our animals' expense, among other things. Thanks again you two! You were a treat to photograph! :)

Erin + Isaac {engagement}

This time of year always makes me laugh. I have these fantastic visions of kicking up my feet after a long wedding season, baking cookies + listening to Christmas music while sipping hot cider on the couch. Hah! I always manage to underestimate the amount of things on my to-do list before the holidays, but isn't that everyone? Needless to say, I've wanted to share Erin + Isaac's engagement session for a few weeks now. Forgive me! :)

I've known Erin since college and was so excited when she and Isaac chose me to photograph their day! (Madison, next July...can't wait!) She and Isaac are super-cute together, and we laughed almost the entire time we were shooting. My cheeks hurt for a good day later. Thanks again for a great day, guys!! You were awesome! :)

Caty + Pete {engagement}

Caty + Pete had a beautiful day for a fall engagement session last month in Caty's hometown of { Lake Mills }...so cute! I love shooting in new places, and we found quite a few great spots. These two met in college where Pete played football, and he actually went on to play for the { Washington Redskins }! How cool is that!? They also wanted to include their new puppy Lambeau in a few shots, so do enjoy his adorable appearance. Thanks again for a fun shoot guys--I had a great time and am looking forward to the wedding!! :)

Jodi + Adam {engagement}

I had a great time photographing Jodi + Adam's engagement session in Madison a few weeks back! We visited the { Allen Centennial Gardens }, { Monona Terrace } + took a few shots around the Capitol buildling...Jodi was a trooper in her heels. :) We also lucked out with gorgeous weather to boot.

I love hearing each couples' story of how they met, and Jodi + Adam's is a cute one for sure. (They crossed paths working at Adam's grandma's grocery store!) As Jodi put it, Adam was the cute 'college boy' back for the summer. (I am still giggling over this--love it!) Thanks for such a fun night guys! I had a blast getting to know you--next August will be so much fun!! :)

Melissa + Art {engagement}

I had the pleasure of photographing Melissa + Art at the { Olbrich Botanical Gardens } in Madison for their super-cute engagement session! The shoot actually took place on Melissa's birthday and I had a great time getting to know these two. (I was already booked for their wedding date, but they still wanted to do engagement photos with me!) They had awesome chemistry together + we happened upon some vividly-colored canoes...loved these. Thanks again Melissa + Art! You guys were awesome and I know your wedding day will be wonderful as well. Best wishes!
