These four :) While vacationing in Door County last week with Stevi, Charles, Charlie & Leo, we snuck them out for a family portrait session along the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan!! The first spot we found was a little crazy with giant crashing waves and huge gusts of wind coming off the lake, but WOW did it make for some energy-filled portraits! Next we went to a perfectly sunny, tucked-away gem of a spot and slowed things down with cozy portraits, tickle tortures, and so much laughter.

Stevi & Charles were married this April in Carmel, California and we had the pleasure of standing up in their bridal party while our dear friend, Laura Ivanova captured their wedding celebration perfectly. :) Seeing them now as a family of four made for such a wonderful week spent in charming Door County! Clearly these four know how to have fun, and it was a blast capturing them together as a family!!

Love, Kelsy & Butch

It couldn't have worked out more perfectly. All of the Majeski "kids" were back in Door County visiting their Mom & Dad from the states they now call home, and we also had a trip to the county planned to celebrate a family birthday. We were so thrilled when Marnie reached out to us to plan a family portrait session!! Butch has known their family since grade school and the two of us had the pleasure of photographing Marnie & Wes' wedding in Boulder years ago, so we were excited to get them in front of our cameras again. This time, on their home turf – their beautiful property near Jacksonport, WI! Surrounded by rolling hills & gardens, amazing landscaping, and even a handful of farm animals, it was the perfect setting to walk around and photograph such a beautiful family. Thank you for having us, guys! :)

Love, Kelsy & Butch
