Villa Terrace Gala | Milwaukee Event Photographer

It was such an honor to take event photos of the Villa Terrace annual gala.  It is a stunning location with a beautiful garden and historic home.  A great location for a wedding! 

 

 

All wrapped up | Milwaukee photographer

A little something you may not know about me is that I LOVE to wrap presents.  I love wrapping them up just as much as I like giving them (not quite as much as I like receiving them though - ha!).  I would never really classify myself as "crafty", but I do get serious about wrapping.  No gift should ever go without a bow, right?  So I get super excited about packaging up my print orders because it is just like wrapping birthday and Christmas presents.  My clients are delighted with the extra pretty added with all that wrapping.  I decided to take pictures of my latest wrapped masterpiece before it went out to my client.  This amount of pretty always makes me giddy.  Each bow-adorned box contains the beautiful prints that my client ordered.  Those prints are lovely works of art in their own right and will hopefully be cherished and adored for many years to come.  Oh, and the best part...this particular order is not even complete.  We still have books in production. Yay - more for me to wrap :)

First Communion | Milwaukee Photographer

This blue-eyed cutie received her First Communion and in celebration of this special day, and after all the official parties and services, I got to take some portraits of her!  I was baptized Catholic and received my First Communion so I know how much fun it can be.  At that age, wearing the pretty white dress is not as much fun as it is when you are much older...all I remember is how itchy it was.  But pictures from that experience are special and serve to document a spiritual journey.  I wish this little angel all the best in her journey and I hope these photos will be cherished for a very long time :) Amen...

Tea Party with Grammy | Milwaukee Photographer

Once upon a time. In the land of flowers an faires, lived a happy little girl named Hannah. She was a very smart, strong and brave little girl. Hannah had a very special Grammy that lived far, far away.  Hannah loved her Grammy with all her heart, which is why it made her sad that her Grammy lived a long distance away.  But much to Hannah's delight, her Grammy would come to visit and shower her with love.  On one such visit, Hannah and her Grammy had a fairy garden tea party and invited their fairy friends, Curtis and Tinker Bell.  Hannah's Mommy and Daddy were also invited.  So there among all the beautiful flowers and herbs Hannah, her beloved Grammy and her fairy friends had a magical tea party full of laughs, hugs and tons of love.  Hannah's photographer Mommy snapped some photos of this special day so Hannah and her Grammy could cherish the day for all time. Hannah was the happiest little girl in all the land and they all lived happily ever after...

Daddy's Little Girl V | Milwaukee Photographer

I sort of feel bad for the Daddy of this little sweetheart.  She is full of cuteness!  And her secret weapon is that pout-y face...who could say no to that? The piggy-tales make it all the more dangerous!  Daddy is certainly in for it...but since she is only 2 we can revel in the cuteness of it all. 

She did not want to sit still...she was quite the busy body.  Reminded me so much of my little beauty just a year ago. 

Even at 2, she is already rocking a fabulous style!  I absolutely LOVE her pink cowgirl boots.  Why don't they make those in my size?  The contrast of her country chic outfit against the urban backdrop of the Third Ward made her my urban cowgirl model.  Love. Love. Love!!!!! 

Here are some of my favorite shots from our father's day session.
