Chris & Ashley

When I met my husband, Alex, over ten years ago, the first thing he shared with me was the fact that he was one of four brothers.  Geesh!  I honestly didn't know what I was going to do with that since I come from three sisters.  But, very quickly, I felt like part of the family.  And now, I am so proud to say that I have three additional brothers, Nick, Zach and Chris (in addition to my own brother, Kevin, whom I adore!). 

Fast forward some number of years (nine, to be exact)... I received a phone call asking for my assistance in a surprise for Chris' girlfriend Ashley.  I suspected (and was right) that Chris was going to propose to Ashley.  I created a video with photos from their relationship through the years.  Chris surprised Ashley with flowers, the video, an engagement ring, and a boat cruise on Green Lake (complete with her family, which was also a surprise!). 

Chris and Ashley have a very playful and youthful spirit.  I have always admired their sense of humor, fun and flexibility.  They take risks for risk's sake.  They do ridiculous things just for the laughter of it.  They play games every moment they get.  There is no way that you can be around these two and not have fun.  So, naturally, when they asked me to take their engagement photos, I was thrilled.  I knew, no matter what circumstances we were up against (cloudy day, cold weather, fast sunset), we were going to have a blast.  And that we did! 


Our family couldn't be happier to call Ashley a Walker.   Congratulations Chris and Ashley on your engagement!  Thank you for letting me capture your happiness and love for each other!  Love you both! ~sarah

Photo Geek

Attending professional photography workshops and seminars is an essential part of learning and exercising my craft. Besides, it is FUN!! There is always so much to learn and try that I come away from it giddy with excitement. I literally couldn’t sleep last night because I was so wound up (does that make me a total photo geek or what?). 

I have attended a handful of seminars in the last few months and gleaned as much information as possible (photos below are from one such workshop) and I can’t wait to try some new things out!  I am especially looking forward to two fun sessions we have coming up: a one-year birthday and a specialty boudoir session. Stay tuned for photos and more details about possible new offerings and specials...
