Outdoors

Most nights after dinner, we pack the littlest kid up into the stroller, put a bike helmet on the other one and we all go out for a walk.  Since the darkness comes earlier these days, we’ve been a bit inconsistent with our nightly walks, but have tried to make up for them by going on little outings while dinner is cooking.

We don’t always bring a camera with us wherever we go, but I’m so, so thankful Ray grabbed one before we headed out the door this specific night.  We laughed until it hurt and then we came back home, uploaded the photos and laughed even harder.

This is real life – our kids cry, I really do sit like that at a computer late at night, and Ray throws our kids way too high into the air. (There were even more photos of them hilariously higher, but we opted keep those a bit more secret on our hard drive, haha!)

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.
