All Over Ephraim | Tara and Adam's Engagement Session
I’m privileged as a wedding/engagement photographer because I’m the same age as many of my couples, so it’s incredibly easy to relate with each other. Adam, Tara, and myself spent two hours together, and honestly it felt like three friends hanging out where one friend has to press buttons from time to time. We talked about everything: home ownership, running the Bix 7, our love for cats, different ways to keep cereal from getting soggy, the list goes on and on. The actual “photography” is such a small portion of my sessions, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sturgeon Bay's Quarterdeck Marina | Scott and Heidi's Calendar Session
If you aren’t familiar with their story, Scott needed a kidney transplant in 2016, and Heidi stepped up when multiple willing people were determined not to be good donor candidates. Although Heidi’s kidney was not a match for Scott, she enrolled in the University of Wisconsin Health Transplant Kidney Exchange Program. Within a month, Scott and Heidi were matched with another couple in the same situation, and Heidi was able to donate a kidney to them in exchange for a kidney for Scott. Since their surgeries, Heidi and Scott have made full recoveries and become avid ambassadors for organ transplant. In fact, their dog Dottie isn’t named after her spots, but after the organ donation dot on their drivers’ licenses.
