Goodness, have we ever been MIA on the blogging front these last few months! We have so many wonderful fall/winter sessions to share with you all, starting with this one with three of our favorites!! :) Laura & Todor are two of the kindest, funnest, and most awesome people to hang out with -- both with and without cameras! We like to think of Laura Ivanova as our personal photographer and have been very lucky to have her photograph the three of us on countless occasions, all of which we are beyond thankful for!! She has the ability to capture us (and all of her clients!!) like no one else, and has even photographed several of our family member's wedding celebrations. This time, we couldn't wait to get Laura, her husband Todor and their sweet pup Cali in front of our cameras!! Having gotten together with them for mini vacations in Door County, we were thrilled when they visited us in Wausau last winter! Of course, the day we decide to swap photo sessions it was approximately -20 with the wind chill, but we shared smiles, lots of laughs, and battled the crisp air in true Midwestern fashion. :)

Giant hugs to the three of you and thank you so much for entrusting us to photograph your sweet family! Now, start house hunting in Wausau and let's plan our next DoorCo getaway! ;)

xoxo, Kelsy & Butch (& Parker the Peanut)

Let us simply start by saying, photographing our dear friends makes us SO happy!! Over the last few years we've had the pleasure of documenting Jodi & Brent's engagement & wedding, and just last week we headed out on an absolutely gorgeous evening for portraits!

You can find Jodi & Brent capturing lifestyle portraits & joyful wedding celebrations over at Beyond Imagination Photography! Sometimes photographing photographers has the ability to make you a bit nervous because you want to do the best job of your life for them!! But with these two, it is effortless! :)

It has been almost two years since Jodi & Brent's wedding day and these two are still one of the sweetest couples we know – not to mention, they're gorgeous and absolutely adorable together! Jodi is one of the most vibrant and full-of-life little ladies you will ever meet, and it couldn't be more clear how much her & Brent love adventuring through life together (with their adorable pup, Jewels, who must join in their next session!!).

Thank you two so much for entrusting us to photograph your love!! We adore the two of you and can't wait for our next date night :)

xoxo, Kelsy & Butch
