Robertson Orchards | Caleb and Kayleigh's Fall Mini Session
Robertson Orchards | Bailey and Brady's Fall Mini Session
Whitefish Dunes State Park | Chris and Christine's Engagement Session
That night I watched a YouTube video by Veritasium (one of my longtime favorite channels) titled Is Success Luck or Hard Work? Did you know that 40% of all professional hockey players were born in the first third of the year (Jan. through Apr.) compared to 28% in the last third (Sep. through Dec.)? The idea is that age cutoffs for youth hockey leagues are the first of the year, so kids born early on the calendar are usually bigger, stronger, and more talented than those born later and typically receive better coaching and opportunities. These small differences compound year after year, and in the end your birthday is a major factor of if you’ll make it to the NHL.
Sturgeon Bay | Mindy and Jake
Baileys Harbor Ridges Park | Mallory and Justin
The second request was to feature her dog Jordy (yes, named after Jordy Nelson) in a few images. In fact, in our early stages of emailing Mallory said, “don’t judge, but I've totally bought a sign already for Jordy to wear.” No judgement at all, I would probably do the same thing!
Sturgeon Bay's Crossroads at Big Creek | Ellen and Jon's Engagement Session
We harvested milkweed seeds along the way, carefully pinching each pod’s center to reveal the cottony fluff inside. Maybe one pod would have been enough back when we were seven; we are grown now, our hands more capable of holding nature’s treasures but just as willing to let them go. Three pods will do.
All Over Ephraim | Nancy and Nate's Engagement Session
Looking back, I find it poetic that Nancy noticed my tattoo while standing beside Nate under a maple tree (she saw the extended trunk under my rolled sleeve and asked if it was a wand from Harry Potter). How have Nancy and Nate’s lives brought them to this point under the tree? How do they feel about each other as their fingers intertwine? Where will their journey bring them next?
Sturgeon Bay's Crossroads at Big Creek | Madeline and Jack's Engagement Session
“One, two……”
On “two,” their eyes nearly popped out of their skulls and Jack pointed behind me at a man walking the trails.
