Holden | Neenah Baby Photographer

I've mentioned in the past that I don't really do infant or children's photography. But this little cutie and his mamma are too cute to pass up... Little Holden was sooo cute and sooo good I could photograph him all day every day.

You might remember his mamma's maternity session last summer. I hope these two have even more kiddos to brighten the world like this little guy brightened mine that day!

Winter wonderful wedding! | Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

©2011 Ardent Photography

I remember talking to Jane on the phone just a few months ago when she and Patrick were in the midst of wedding planning. It's pretty cool when a couple will select their wedding date based on my availability. She was hoping for a wintery snow-filled day... if it didn't happen we would do an "Ever After" session on another day with snow in the forecast. Luckily for Jane and Pat, the forecast for February 26 included the beautiful white confetti they dreamed about.

The couple did a "first look" on the rooftop deck of the Hotel Metro. The moments Jane and Patrick shared in privacy were captured in a beautiful even light. What a way to start their wedding day!

This group loves to play trivia at the Brat House. Part of this bunch is an Ardent 2009 bride and groom who also is the Milwaukee Quizmaster. I can't wait to head down and play some trivia with you guys!

Jane is a wedding invitation designer and co-owner of 2Hearts1Design. She designed so many amazing things for their wedding... including custom hankies, a pin-up board guest book, a custom cupcake and Jimmie Square stand and a totally amazing folding wedding program.

Coverage ended that evening in the midnight hour at The Landmark Lanes. It was so cute to see everyone in their wedding best hitting the lanes for the midnight bowl.


What a way to kick off 2011! Jane and Patrick, I am so honored to be present on your day with camera in hand. I wish you as much love as snowflakes that fell from the sky that day. Congratulations!

I photographed Georgia several times in the last 3 years. She just turned three years old in January and is in love with all things pretty. It was a blast to photograph her again!
