Another awesome couple and their beautiful love story in a Beloved session. They’ve been together for over 17 years and it only keeps growing stronger… It was Tim who did the first move long ago but Amy shared she knew she is going to marry him even before they started dating. It was again an amazing experience for me to capture their laughs, tears, joy and all other genuine emotions and expressions while they were sharing and rediscovering each other… This Beloved session was a perfect start for their date they planned afterwards 
Thank you for sharing your story and a part of your day with me. Here are just some of the beautiful moments I witnessed…

Katie and Joe took me for a hike for their engagement session. I love hiking with my family and I am always open when my clients have similar ideas. The path was all uphill and we were breathing pretty hard when we finally reached the top but it was sooo worth the effort. The view was breathtaking and for a while we were just peacefully soaking in beautiful Wisconsin landscape. At our wedding consultation Joe shared with me that he seldom likes how he looks on photos. I was up for a challenge and promised that I would do my best to change his belief. He is such a nice, caring and deeply in love guy and I think I was able to capture this Both Katie and Joe are fun together and easy to photograph, stay tuned for their wedding in October!

Alicia and Ted – Beloved Photography, Madison WI Photographer

This session was a special photographic adventure for me. My first attempt to do an entire shoot without a typical “look at the camera and smile” expression. Instead I wanted this session to focus on a relationship and on celebrating love. My intent was to create more genuine, moving images. Alicia and Ted were perfect for this Beloved approach and open to experiment with me. They are high school sweethearts who’ve been together for over twenty five years and are amazing, dedicated parents to six great kids. We met on one cloudy weekday morning to capture with my camera what they are like together and why. It was beautiful to experience how they connected with each other in a completely genuine and heart-warming way. I loved that, and not just because I got some wonderfully authentic images but also because it seemed like they really enjoyed the experience as well Here are just a few of their beautiful real expressions and emotions I was able to capture…

I used to be a big city girl back in Poland. I loved it and didn’t even consider changing it and moving somewhere else. And then life happened and several years ago we bought a house in a small town Wisconsin. And it turns out that I LOVE our life here. So much so that when I sometimes visit my family and friends in Warsaw, after three weeks or so I am ready to go back to being a small town girl. One thing that makes our life here special are amazing neighbors. Last week I had the pleasure of celebrating with some of them a very unique occasion. Two of our neighbors were turning 95 on the same day! There was a tea party, cake, lots of wishes and laughs. Carroll and Shirley are incredible, inspiring and so full of joy of life. I have to mention our another wonderful neighbor- Phyllis, who is in her 90-ties as well. She spends winters in Florida, playing tennis regularly. She is coming back home next week and we are looking forward to having her around during summer months. Hopefully one day I will be like them… Maybe there is something in the local water and in the fresh air of small town living …

Engagement Photo Guest Book – Wedding Photography, Sauk Prairie WI
Engagements , Products , Weddings
Do you remember Brandy and Casey’s winter engagement session I blogged about a couple of months ago? The images we created then were perfect for a new product that I thought I would share with you today and that I am going to offer to my wedding clients this year. It’s a custom designed guest book featuring photos from your engagement session. A creative way to show off your unique engagement portraits and definitely an unforgettable keepsake. Fun prompts will for sure inspire your family, friends and other guests to sign in at the reception and give you some marriage advice, write stories, blessings, wishes or just simple congratulations.
You are seeing here a 10×10 book with beautiful genuine leather cover and hinged paper. I love it that when opened, the book lays flat. Inside, matte pages and blank spaces provide an easy writing surface. Archival quality will guarantee that the book will last for generations and your children’s children will be able to see it. Isn’t it better than a few files on a disc somewhere in a drawer?

Meet Samantha – bright, joyful and full of personality and good energy little girl with big dreams. Soon she is going to an audition for a role in a musical “Annie” and her mom contacted me to get a few actors headshots before that big day. I am convinced that Sammy has all it takes to be on stage and I truly hope that these headshots will help her with that. Good luck girl, I believe in you!

One of the favorite things that we love to do as a family is travel. With a pile of audio books from the library and a destination in mind we are ready for a road trip. We’ve gone as far as New Mexico, Utah or Virginia or as close as Galena, IL. This picturesque old town, just two hours away was our spring break destination last week. This wasn’t our first time there, but if you happen to visit it you’ll see that it’s easy to fall in love with Galena, with the beauty, the history and keep coming back. During our brief visit there, we found time each day to take to the hilly and windy back roads and enjoy the emerging wonders of Spring – green shoots and flowers everywhere, and even admire birds soaring high over the mighty Mississippi. Hopefully the images below inspire you to spend a few days in this cute town as well, you won’t regret it

Just a few pretty buildings in historic downtown and there are many, many more
Spring has definitely arrived!
We found this picture perfect farm while driving on Jo Daviess County back roads. The only thing that's missing is a cornfield, I guess I'll just have to find it again in the summer
Here again a small corn field in the foreground would be nice but I love the effect the smoke does...
always barefoot, whenever they can...

I noticed how that tree branch would make a perfect frame for a picture and forced my family to do a family portrait. With some help from self-timer here is what came out
Once a month or so our family drives to Appleton to spend a weekend at Grandma’s. Now that Grandpa is gone she lives by herself and, even though she keeps herself constantly busy, she truly enjoys every visit. Our kids love going to Grandma as she always has something fun for them to do. Even when there are more cousins visiting at the same time, Grandma can magically keep them all happily occupied. With seven kids of her own she has a lot of experience how to entertain young minds And whatever it is they are doing there is always some learning involved with it, too. I’ve been thinking about documenting Grandma doing her everyday activities for a while now. Last Saturday turned out to be a perfect day to do it. So I just followed Grandma with my camera and captured her doing her normal everyday stuff. Hopefully one day Sonia, Alek and her other grandchildren will appreciate an opportunity to see and remember how it was… I know I would love to have this kind of photos of my own two grandmas, as I spent a lot of time with them and felt really close. But now only some beautiful memories remain along with just a couple of pictures.
This desk used to be Grandpa’s headquarters. He used to spend entire days behind it listening to his multiple amateur radios and keeping an eye on everything that was going on in the house. Now Grandma starts her day here by reading a newspaper… and the radios are still going on in the background. She has too much on her to do list to spend a day at the desk so after a cup of coffee she moves on…
there is always a prayer before every meal
Grandma's favorite spoon, as you can see, she's been using it for years.
When we (or somebody else) visit grandma she always has some banana bread or a pie to share. Everybody leaves her house with a small baked good wrapped in a paper. Last weekend was no different. When there are kids around they are involved with the baking as well.
a peaceful moment while the banana bread is baking in the oven...
... and then everybody gets a piece and a loaf to take home.
Genealogy is one of Grandmas hobbies and passions (she has quite a few others as well). Everybody is admiring all the names, dates and stories she remembers about all past and present family members. On Saturday she found some time to make corrections on a calendar which includes all birthdays and anniversaries. With 12 siblings and seven children of her own the number of relatives is impressive…
genealogy headquarters
When we leave there are always two things that have to happen. First Grandma will give us some goodies to take home (this time they included fresh daffodils and banana bread) and then there is a photo by the car that she takes of each family that visits (taking pictures is also her hobby )
We are looking forward to many more weekend visits yet to come…

More headshots coming on the blog Lora is a homeopathy practitioner in Monona, WI. She works with individuals of all ages and any health issues but specializes in helping autistic children. Lora contacted me because she needed updated headshots for her website. We met on one sunny but cold winter afternoon and went for a quick walk around the block to find best backgrounds. It was a pleasure to capture her friendly and warm personality and get to know her better. I love learning about non-conventional healing practices and was all ears when she shared her experience. If you’d like to learn more about homeopathy you can check out Lora’s website here, I am sure she’ll be happy to help
