In and around the office

We have a pretty non-traditional work schedule. It’s one of the major perks of this job. That, and being able to kiss my husband whenever I want to. :) But because we choose to have our kids home with us and really don’t want them to remember us as the parents who always looked at a screen, it also means a lot of naptime and late-night working hours for me (Kelly).

Other than on wedding days, our time working together really doesn’t overlap too much – so today was a first in our house. We had a teenage neighbor/friend come over for a few hours to watch the kids while we worked together – in daylight hours – in our home office. Awesome. (Thanks, Allie!) We’re so excited about this new weekly tradition and are so, so thankful for the trustworthy help.

Here’s what a glimpse of our day looks like when we do attempt to all be in the office at the same time (it’ll help you to understand why we don’t try it too often). Also, we’ll have to do a bit of a more in-depth office tour sometime. It’s a pretty sweet set-up, including 14(!) windows.

One of us usually ends up downstairs or outside with the kids because things get a little bit, well, loud for the person who is trying to actually work. :)

We're on a treasure hunt for beauty. We want our images to take you right back to the grand moments of your day, and to the milliseconds that flew past, the ones you couldn't stop to breathe and look around and appreciate while they were happening. We don't invent those moments. We recognize them.

Our couples trust us to document the people and moments that matter most to them, which frees them up to spend the day with each other instead of with us.

We're rooted near Viroqua, in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, a small foodie-and-outdoors town that shaped how we see beauty in everyday moments. From there we travel across the state, with Madison and Door County among our most-photographed areas, alongside Milwaukee, Spring Green and La Crosse. Fifteen+ years in, we still don't take the trust of a wedding day lightly.
