Erin/Camryn/Ayana - Personal

One of my best friends, Erin Miner, just had her 2nd child this past month and I went to go visit everyone the other day! It was great to finally meet the beautiful Ayana Kennedy, and always a pleasure to see Mr. Camryn. Here are a few photos from the day.

Benny's 1 year With us.

It was exactly one year ago I was on my way to Granby, MA to meet a dog whose face I had only seen in an email on my phone. My mother didn't want a dog anyways and looked at the picture and said "he's ugly". Well it was my mom who ended up driving to Granby with me. We had a good time talking with his owner at the time, Maryanne, and hiked into the woods to help better get to know each other and for Maryanne to decide if we would be a good match for Benny. After an hour or so, she said her goodbye's to Benny and we took this dog back to Northfield. I texted Melissa on the ride home "we got him!" She was eagerly awaiting the news on how everything went.

Well, we got him home. He pooped in the house, on my dads bed, on the floor. All over! He peed on the carpet and jumped on the couch. HE> WAS>CRAZY! He ran up stairs and down so fast and so clumsily it sounded like a hundred people at a bowling alley. (He is not the most coordinated dog.) I'm convinced that it was nerves and just him adjusting because it was not long after that he settled down and became the dog that the glorifying craigslist ad says he was. (although he never seemed to be "good" with cats.)

In this past year Benny has become one of the best dogs I've ever had the pleasure to be around. Maybe I'm biased but you can ask a number of our friends and they'll tell you the same. He's made 5 or 6 trips between Massachusetts and Wisconsin and enjoys every minute of it. A great companion on the road. We love him dearly and thank him for his loyalty and we will continue to give him love and the same loyalty he gives to us.

We look forward to many more years of wrestling on the bed, walks at the dog park and the numerous compliments we get about him every time we stop at a travel plaza along I-90.

Happy one year to Benny!

We also recently took our new dog Nismo under our care just a month ago. We love him an equal amount and he will get his happy 1 year in 11 months! Till then, enjoy the pictures we have of the both of them.

Adrienne and Jim - wedding

This past month I had the pleasure of shooting Adrienne and Jim's wedding in Green Lake. It was at the beautiful Heidel House, a place I had never been before. It was a great location, and a beautiful outdoor wedding. Since they're from Colorado, it was my first time meeting them, and things went great! Here are a few pictures from their day.

I just recently did a shoot with Alex Miner, my good friend Erin's brother. We had a lot of fun and I was really excited about these pictures. Hard to believe it was so nice out such a short time ago and now it's already winter weather.

New business cards!

Laura - Just for Fun!

Can you tell that Taylor is writing all of this stuff!?! With all the exclamation points and what not. What a great guy, boy do I owe him great thanks. Anywho, Here are some shots I took of my good friend Laura we had a great time exploring Appleton and scouting out great places to shoot.

Ellen - BABY!

I was written and asked by my good friend Paul if I would photograph his newborn. I unfortunately was in Massachusetts until his daughter Ellen was already 3 months old! Upon returning to Appleton I met up with Paul and photographed Ellen. We will be photographing her at 6 months and hopefully on and on. You're sure to see more of her. Isn't she beautiful?!?

The "senior-a-thon" continues! Here is another senior shoot we did with Adam. We offer on-location photography to all of our clients. It gives a good chance for everyone to be comfortable. We photographed Adam at his home. It was the perfect place to take pictures of him and we all had a great time. The pictures came out great too!

Travis & Stacy - Wedding

We recently made a trip up to Laona, WI to photograph Travis and Stacy's wedding. Laona is a quaint town and was the perfect setting for this couple. The wedding was held in a small church in the middle of the town and was followed by a reception in a barn off in the middle of nowhere! It was a blast. Congratulations Travis and Stacy!
