One of my favorite things about being a photographer is being able to capture the big moments of people’s lives. I was able to shoot both the Beumer’s engagement session, their wedding, and then their maternity session. Little Bella made her surprise arrival not long after these pictures, so we had perfect timing :) Thanks for letting me be a part of these moments of your life, Jared and Mariya! -Kelley
This is my second year capturing the Esler family… and let me tell you, they’re just as cute this year! Little Nicole has so much personality, and is so much fun to play with! Thanks for trusting me to take your family photos for another year! -Kelley
When family comes to visit from out of state… it’s the perfect time to grab some family pictures! We got lucky with a reasonably warm November day, and some pretty snow dusting for the Bielfus family session. Thanks for letting me capture your family! -Kelley
It’s so much fun when I get to shoot families multiple times, and see both the kiddos grow and the family grow! The last time I was able to capture the Prahm family, the littlest Prahm was not around yet :) Thanks for having me out for another year, it was so much fun to see you all! -Kelley
I am super blessed to be able to nanny for this family for the last 3.5 years… and I’ve gotten a bit attached ;) So when they asked me to do some quick photos for them of course I said YES. It was COLD… but they’re all troopers and we got some cute pictures! -Kelley
Not only were Dave and Amber so much fun to work with, we got lucky last fall with an absolutely gorgeous day and beautiful colors! These two love to be outdoors with each other, so we had to incorporate that into their pictures :) Dave and Amber, thank you so much for letting me capture you two! -Kelley
Ahhh, these people! All of them! Kara and Angela (and Derek by default) were like siblings growing up and their parents were like second parents to me… so of course this session might be one of my favorites. Plus, there’s Eddie…. Make sure you don’t miss the last picture, starring Eddie ;) Love you Groebner Fam! Thanks for letting me do your pictures! -Kelley
Oh my… I just loved this wedding. Not only did Jill and Kyle get married on the Breezy Belle, take pictures at the Breezy Chapel, and have an absolutely stunning dress… but the two of them were just such a fun and joyful couple to work with! And the same went for their family and friends. So much joy all around! Thank you SO much for letting me witness your special day, Mr and Mrs Bauer! -Kelley
Still catch up on blogging last years pictures… so Jake has already graduated! But I still wanted to share a handful of his images from last fall. Thanks for letting me capture this stage of your life, Jake! Good luck with your next adventures! -Kelley
