Milwaukee Extravaganza

Lueck Wedding
June 26, 2010
Milwaukee, WI.




Tommy and Nikki are near and dear to our hearts. Tommy is Kellen's uncle, and now mine too! They are the perfect couple... I can't get over how well they fit each other. They both have full time jobs, but they are both highly involved in the arts and entertainment. In fact Tommy is in one of the best swing bands of Milwaukee, Swing Nouveau. Its an amazing 18 piece band (actually i dont know if its 18, but its something HUGE like that!) that serenaded us at the wedding. AMAZING! Another amazing thing! Tommy is the lead singer of the band, so since it was his wedding there was no lead singer. They had all their friends and family sign up to sings songs with the band through out the night! IT WAS BRILLIANT! 


Thank you Tommy & Nikki (what a gorgeous bride...seriously stunning!) for a GREAT time. I'm so happy to have gotten to share your special day as family and as your photographer. ENJOY!

Maternity.


This is only my second maternity shoot... but I LOVE doing them! Its so much fun, and also.... there's a baby in that belly! Its amazing that our bodies can hold a human inside our bodies! Anyways! We decided to do some with Brendan, and since he love love loves the dodgers we did some in the jerseys. (we had to do them in the front yard, so they wouldn't get dirty!) Then we ventured out into the country, and I'm pretty sure we even trespassed a little. It was worth it, because we found these huge oak trees, some dirt, and some corn. All 3 of us just hung out, took some photos and laughed a lot. On the ride back, Brendan taught me heaps about the dodgers, and even told me that he wanted to name his baby brother Blake because of a dodgers player!!


On Monday early morning, Kristen gave birth to a beautiful little boy, who they decided to call Blake!! :D I got to see him yesterday, and hold him for a long time. Two Words. BABY. FEVER. I'm just going to have to go visit Blake often. All to say that perhaps this is one of my favorite shoots. I love the people in these photos,  I love the light in these photos, and I love that God gave us little gifts like babies... ENJOY!
