fresh snapped photos :: a 40th anniversary costume party
i had the outrageously amazing opportunity to shoot some photos at an event this weekend. it was a 40th anniversary costume party at the most gorgeous venue i've ever seen in my life. it felt like i was in italy, right here in wisconsin! crazy. the party was at a private residence that was built in an old quarry. the tall buildings you see are what used to be the old kilns for the quarry. i got to climb a very scary, wooden, spiral staircase up one of them and take some shots from the top. (you can see part of the old rail road tracks that used to haul the stone out of the quarry on the very top of the first photo) here are some of my favorites. you can see the rest here.
here are two of the 4 kilns all lined up making the property look like a castle.
i'm not really sure what's behind the curtain, but people were going in to try on costumes for the event. could have been a whole other room back there!
this is what i walked through to get to the very scary spiral staircase i mentioned above! that's the inside of one of the kilns.
one of my favorite things to photograph of the day was this fortune teller's wagon! love, love, love everything about this thing!
i somehow amazingly caught a rainbow in this shot. not sure how as it wasn't raining.
one of the rooms was filled with marionettes hanging from the ceiling. eerie and cool all at the same time. that same room held a secret little room that opened when you pulled the right book out of the bookshelf! seriously, this place was amazing!
i love the bare parasols with the ribbons blowing in the wind. such a beautiful and simple decoration.
more of my favorite wagon!
and here are the king and the queen of the evening. happily married 40 years.
you can go check out more of the venue and the other attendees' costumes here.

fresh snapped photos :: my very first photo shoot
last night i met one of my good friends, kate, down at the lake for my very first photo shoot. she's having a baby any day now and asked if i would take some pregnancy photos for her. i was so nervous and excited all at once. it's one thing to take photos of my kids....if they don't turn out, i can take more tomorrow. however, when it's a scheduled event like this, if they don't turn out, there's not really a second chance.
this photo was actually a happy accident. it wasn't planned, but when i saw it, i moved quickly to capture it before anyone moved! my friend's hubby was just watching the boys while i took photos of her and they were in the perfect spot to snap in the background. i love how sometimes the things that are the least planned turn out to be my favorites.
we took a few full-family shots as well since everyone was all dressed up and looking nice. kate and i actually met when we were both pregnant with our oldest boys. they were born 6 days apart! her second boy is a little older than my baby, so when we get together it's a house full of rambunctious boys! to top it off, the little one waiting to be born is another boy! (apparently we like sticking with what we know best!)
she also asked for a photo of the two handsome boys together. her oldest is completely opposite of my little dude when it comes to taking photos. we had to pry a smile out of him while my little dude strikes a pose as soon as he sees me with a camera in hand! i like this photo because it looks a little more casual and not so posed.
kate and her hubby karl sharing a sweet moment together in the sand.
another unplanned photo that i like. once again, karl was trying to keep the boys contained while kate and i took individual photos. in my book, there's nothing sweeter than father/child photos.
there are more photos from the shoot on my flickr site. feel free to check them out if you'd like to see more.
