I am officially an Amputee
So it happened. It's official. I had below knee amputation surgery on my left leg yesterday (Wednesday February 26th, 2020). I am now 24 hours out from surgery and doing pretty darn good. I'm actually doing better than expected. So sit back and hang tight while I lay out what all happened this week. If… Continue reading I am officially an Amputee
Gang Initiation
August 29th we moved from a suburb of Madison to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. With moving to a smaller city there is one thing that we did not expect to happen on the first day we arrived. Our 10-year-old daughter was initiated into the neighborhood gang. Roughly an hour after we closed on our new house,… Continue reading Gang Initiation
Madeline Island
Even though this post is a few months behind I wanted to share it because it was a wonderful weekend. At the end of June, just 2 days after hearing about Nick's promotion, we had reservations to spend the weekend at big Bay State Park on Madeline island. We almost canceled our trip with so… Continue reading Madeline Island

Some people’s kids
Today I am flying from Wisconsin to Massachusetts for work. I don’t travel for work often, but when I do I truly enjoy it. Unfortunately, out of Madison there are not a ton of options for flight times; so they end up leaving very early in the morning or landing very late at night. Because… Continue reading Some people’s kids
5 Years & Counting!
Yikes! Has it really been that long? 1,825 days of marriage - crazy how that sounds when it is broken down into days. Five years - it feels like just yesterday we said our vows and yet, it also feels like we have been together forever. That truly is the best of both worlds. Looking… Continue reading 5 Years & Counting!
Rally and Protest
Today I stumbled onto some excitement while downtown Madison. As I went to drop my daughter off at theatre class, we noticed a very heavy police presence on State Street. So, after getting her checked in, I went to investigate. There was a loud crowd of people towards the end of State Street near the… Continue reading Rally and Protest

Engagement Session
Last weekend I shot my first engagement session. This was very exciting and nerve wrecking all at once. It was 37 degrees out, windy and very cloudy. This produced quite a few challenges for me to overcome. Cold: not great weather to be outside in, a challenge to keep them warm and happy, red and… Continue reading Engagement Session

Selfie – Nikon Style
Beautiful day at Lake Michigan right outside of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. After taking in the scenery I decided to show the other tourist how to take a selfie. D5500 - check 35mm - check Tripod - check Trigger - check

Rising Waters
August 2018 was a very wet month for Wisconsin (to say the least). These photographs were taken August 25th after the first round of storms went through earlier in the week. Since then we have had rain nearly everyday. Stores, homes and streets are flooded. Highways are washed out. There have been many who have… Continue reading Rising Waters
Point Beach State Forest
Camping is our families way of disconnecting from everyday life and reconnecting with each other. Recently we went to Point Beach State Forest, located right outside of Two Rivers, WI. Originally we were going to spend the weekend on Madeline Island, but due to recent storms and flooding we made the decision to go somewhere… Continue reading Point Beach State Forest
