Kelly+Kenneth: Elkhart Lake Wedding

Kelly and Kenneth shared a dream wedding at the Osthoff resort in Elkhart Lake, WI. They met in college, both studying music and Kelly is a ballroom dance instructor- and showed her fantastic moves on the dance floor.

After a beautiful and intimate ceremony at St. Luke’s in Sheboygan, the wonderful new bridal couple set out for portraits on the grounds of the resort with their great wedding party, and a wonderful wedding meal prepared by the resort.

Best Wishes for a long and happy life together. Thank you for allowing Shoot the Moon Photography to be your photographic artists! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Baby J: Milwaukee Newborn Photography

When photographing for other photographers, it’s always flattering and a little nerve-wracking as you want it to go smoothly. When a highly respected wedding photographer, brought his newborn in today, our shoot was more of a party than our normal relaxing baby photo shoot!

Today’s session with little Baby J (Nickname JD – so cute!) was quite the adventure at our Mequon portrait studio. He arrived at our ready for his big photo shoot snug as a little bug and sleeping like a hibernating bear… From the moment the car carrier straps clicked, he woke up and stayed awake.

We laughed and tried everything to get him to rest but our little wiggle-work determined to be stubborn during our newborn photo session. Mommy, Daddy and I were cracking up as we would get him to sleep and then suddenly his eyes would pop WIDE open. I think he was afraid to miss all of the fun!

Secretly- I think its because his Dad has been known to be both funny, sweet and a little streak of stubborn! Tee hee. I think baby JD will give him a run for his money!

Little Peanut Milwaukee newborn photography

Several years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Jason when I photographed him and his siblings for a super fun session for their parents. A few years later, Jason met Allie– the love of his life and Megan had the pleasure of photographing a fun, Third Ward milwaukee Engagement session.

I’m now excited to be lucky enough to photograph their beautiful little girl. Here she is, only 5 days old and sweet perfection when she came into our Milwaukee Photography studio for her newborn portraits. She slept the entire time through her baby photo session and was utterly perfect! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Big Smooch to Auntie Danielle for helping to arrange this honor of photographing this little peanut!
