Kate and Nick – Sunrise at the Lakefront


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:

Kerry and Ben – Milwaukee engagement session down by Lake Michigan


Simon and I woke up very early to meet Kerry and Ben down by the Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum. We wanted to catch the morning light, and it was so worth getting up a few minutes earlier than normal…

I really love when I am going through proofs and making my selections, when it is really hard to narrow things down because there are so many good shots. That is what happened here. I think it was because of the light as well as the willingness of Kerry and Ben to relax and have fun… It made for some fantastic photographs…
