We just knew something was up at Aaron and Kirstin’s wedding on Labor Day weekend. Kevin was way too happy and animated to be considered “normal” behavior. He had a secret mission for that weekend and Audrey found was the reason.
Here are a few images from their engagement session.
Ryan & Whitney’s engagement pictures for their wedding in June.
Kyle & Laura’s Engagement Pictures for their February wedding
We’ve been waiting on these two for a while, wondering not if but when. Sometimes you can tell when a couple is made for each other. That’s the way it is with Brian and Amanda. The downside is that we can’t pick on Jeff any more for “news” from the girls.
Amber was a big help with her sister’s engagement pictures. We caught the sunset at the perfect time because of her.
We’ve been very busy the past few weeks and posting to the blog has sufferred. Stay tuned for a flury of updates.
Krista and Ryan came to the studio last night for their engagement session. Late afternoon drizzle looked like it would cause us to postpone, but the clouds went away by 6:30 and we were good to go.
Here’s Ryan and Krista’s signature mat image. We will have a very cool guest book ready for them in a few weeks.
Mark and Denise came to visit Grandma a while back. We took some pictures at Memorial Park in Madison on a chilly Sunday.
We spent the day with Tiffany & Jeff. They came from Wisconsin for their engagement portraits today.
Here’s a couple of fun ones.
We did Rachel & Kyle’s engagement portrait session right after a recent snowstorm.

We’ve made a couple of changes in the way we do our engagement sessions.
As part of our wedding packages, we used to give a complimentary engagement session and one 5×7. No more. The 5×7 is going away. We are now doing 16×20 signature mats instead of the 5×7.
How’s that for cool.
There is only one condition on the 16×20 signature mat: you MUST put it out for the guests to sign.
Why?
We had several couples buy a signature mat print, only to decide at the last minute that it was too nice for the guests to write on.
We thought we’d share an image from Kendra & Jerae’s engagement session. Their wedding is coming up next month in Madison and we have so much work to do.
Taking all the pictures is easy. It’s the computer work that gets in the way of sleeping. In two more months the rush will be over and we can rest up, but for now the old saying goes “You have to make hay when the sun shines!”
We went to Russell’s farm to take his and Kindra’s engagement pictures.
We wandered the farmyard and ended up by the old silo, in front of the old hoghouse, the deck by the back door of the house and we even managed to find a little green grass.
It is the season for engagements. Sometimes a couple wants only a head and shoulders for the newspaper like this one of Jennifer and Nathan.
There is no limit to what we can put together these days: an image file for invitations, press printed folded cards, signature mats and even Vision Art albums for guestbooks. Yes, engagements can be more fun then ever before.
