Wow!! Can you believe it’s already 2014? We most definitely can’t and it will probably be June before we get used to writing the date correctly, but in the meantime we want to look back at everything that 2013 brought our way. This might have been the fastest year of our lives but, speedy or not, 2013 was filled with genuine laughter, moments of growth & learning, and fulfilling relationship-building with our clients. We truly feel so lucky to do what we love and to have the support of our wonderful clients, friends & family!! Without all of you we wouldn't be able to live our passion, and that is something that we are endlessly thankful for. THANK YOU!!! :) As we look back through the beautiful moments and celebrations of love that we had the giant honor of photographing, we can't help but smile at all of the fun, sweet & thoughtful faces on our computer screen! We've had this problem over the last few days as we attempted to pull together a collection of images that represented our 2013, so you can only imagine how much our cheeks hurt! ;) We are blown away by the planning and thought that you all put into your wedding day and sessions with us, and cannot thank you enough for choosing us to be a part of your lives!! Creating heirlooms for families to pass on for generations is something that fills our hearts to the brim!
We cannot wait to see what 2014 holds - personalized wedding celebrations across the Midwest, new faces & couples who we can't wait to connect with & get to know, and continuing to capture sweet families as they grow!! Cheers to a wonderful 2014!
Love | Kelsy & Butch
Stay tuned for two more 2013 posts as we share some of our favorite engagement & portrait sessions soon!
Goodness! It seems like we were just gathered around the table with family celebrating Thanksgiving, and it's already CHRISTMAS EVE!! Even if this year's countdown to Christmas might have been the fastest of all time, we're hoping to slow down enough over the next five days to soak in every belly laugh, conversation, and bear hug that comes our way! :)
WAHOO!!! We've had smiles on our faces since yesterday morning because Andrea & Eric's 
Gold, red & blue. Charming Milwaukee streets. Sparkle as far as the eye could see. Guests that had traveled to Wisconsin from all around the country (& beyond) to celebrate the cutest couple imaginable! These words don't come close to describing how incredible Jess & Dom's wedding day was!!
Our connection to Rachel goes back quite a few years, but we didn't have the pleasure of meeting her in person until Gary proposed and they reached out to us for their photography! What we knew of Rachel can be summarized as follows: gorgeous, wine lover, photographer, stylish, fun, and compassionate. Yes, all of those attributes were gathered from her instagrams!! ;) So you can easily understand why the two of us jumped out of our chairs when we received a message from her & Gary with news of their engagement!! After a Skype date that truly felt like the four of us were out on a double date, we dove right into planning their engagement session! Early on in their wedding planning, Rach & Gar considered having their wedding on the beautiful farm you see above. The property has been in Gary's family forever and from the rolling landscape to the charming red barn, it's a scene that just begs to be photographed. After much deliberation they found another lovely place to celebrate their wedding day, but Gary's Grandparents' farm was the PERFECT spot for their engagement session!!
