Everyone has a favorite thing to do. My mother in law’s thing is sewing and quilting. Their cottage up north is a perfect get away to relax and enjoy the things you love…

Kate contacted me to see if we could get together for a little portrait shoot with her and her man Nick. They have been together for a while, but are currently living in different states. Long distance relationships are tough, and they wanted some photographs together to make those times apart a little less taxing. A little reminder of how happy they are when they are together… and I have to say, these two are very happy when they are together. We met them down at the Milwaukee Art Museum a little after sunrise, and here are some of my favorites:

Here are some of my favorite photographs from the day:

Milwaukee is a great town for weddings, but it is always nice to venture out of Milwaukee to shoot. For Dana and Nicks wedding last year, we got to hit up the Orpheum Theatre in Madison, WI. Old theatres are great!

Another oldie, but goodie. Love these guys, love the light at the Astor Hotel, love the massive size of St Johns… I love it all.
