Days of Thanks :: Day Three

Day three: I am thankful for my brother.

Hands down, I have the most awesome, cool, smart brother in the world. For real guys, he is the smartest person I know. Growing up I picked on him A LOT and tried to call him names that didn't make sense... then he would correct me and I would get mad. As we grew older we stopped fighting and actually started to really enjoy each other ( I hope he feels the same way). Jake is an interesting guy and always has something cool to share. I'm so thankful for him in my life. He has always been there for me even through our constant battles growing up. I've learned so much from him and always look forward to the time that I get to spend with him. He is currently living in Louisville, KY furthering his studies in Physics (which I can never understand when he talks about school) and married to his middle school/high school/college sweetheart. He shows so much devotion to the things he loves, and I really look up to him!

He does stuff like this to me and I have no defense against it. He used to choke slam me. At least this is less painful.


Isn't he cool? Yeah I know.. everyone should be jealous! I love him!

Day of Thanks :: Day two

Day two: I am thankful for our home.

My husband and I live in a two bedroom apartment in Milwaukee, WI. We live on a noisy, busy, bright corner one one of the main thoroughfares in the area. All that put together doesn't sound very appealing. But, it is. We love it. Sometimes we have to turn the TV up or talk a little louder. We can hear the train a block away, and there are always lines of traffic right out our window. We actually wish we lived even more in the city (or in downtown Chicago). We have made this little apartment, home. I'm so thankful that my husband is into decorating, but still lets me have my style. He helps me with my collections (teapots, old mason jars, cameras, and wooden spoons) and is a handyman when I need him to saw, paint, drill, or hang anything.  I hope you enjoy the pictures of our home just as much as we enjoy them. :) And while you're at it, check out my website www.krosephotog.com it's brand spankin' new and would love for you to visit!

New website/"ten days of thanks" kick off

I have been so incredibly busy working on this new website and editing TONS of pictures the last couple weeks. I am so excited to launch this new website, it is so exciting to see where my business is going and where it has come from. Please check out the new website (www.krosephotog.com) and give me your feed back, I'd love to hear. Another exciting project I am starting is "Ten Days of Thanks" the next ten days leading up to Thanksgiving each day will be a new blog post featuring something that I am thankful for. I've been digging in and doing a lot of clinics and other fun things to learn how to further my business, and the number one thing other photographers and companies are saying is, make it personal. Writing is a weakness of mine, so it will be an interesting journey. I am so excited to jump in and see whats next!

Day one :: Showit

This may seem lame, to say one of the top 10 things I'm thankful for right now is my website builder. But honestly, they have been amazing. It is so easy to design, and their crew is so helpful. I'm am genuinely so thankful for the help that they have givin me in aiding the launch of the updated website. The design and build time was almost nothing. There were a few bumps, and they communicated so well and helped get it up and running. Photographer friends, I would seriously suggest looking into these guys!

 

Their website is www.showitfast.com

Wedding :: Jake & Kayla

 My brother is married! I can't believe it! This wedding day was quite possibly the hottest day I have experienced in my entire life. But it was a beautiful wedding! It was small and personal. I love that I was able to shoot the photography for them! In addition to this wedding being possibly the hottest day, it was also a very emotional one too. Kayla's little sister arranged for their dad to not come back for her graduation but to wait and come for the wedding. Kayla had NO idea. As her mom was walking her down the isle, they paused for a second right at the end, and Kayla's dad came out of hiding and surprised her. I think she almost fainted! Here are some of my favorites from the day!
