The Pond View Lodge was our destination and it was (simply put) filled with perfection the ENTIRE weekend! The owners of the lodge, the Paulsens, do a magnificent job at creating a comfy-cozy, rest-easy environment that we didn't want to leave. They are located up north in Fredrick, WI and *MAN* is it gorgeous....they have restored an old 1940's barn into a getaway with a gigantic (fully stocked) kitchen, beautiful rest-friendly bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms and a perfect relaxing great room! We rested, we relaxed, we knitted and we LOVED it.....

Our (somewhat) finished projects....

I have been photographing little Max every few months for over a year now and I feel like I should be eating Thanksgiving dinner with the Olsons because I know them so well! :) And man, do they have a fun and energetic family with their 3 boys! Reed, Jack and Max are near the bestest of friends....although Max does get yelled at every once and awhile for playing with the "big kid" toys, but they still have a genuine brotherly love for one another! What more can a Mom ask for right?!?!?
Mr. Grumpy Pants....
I love boys!
I wish that I was half as cool as the Olson family---seriously you guys are fun, energetic and down-right caring and genuine! I love the time I spend with you guys! :)O Em- I have been sick for almost a week and these shots made me feel better immediately!!! I love the crying one, I love the oversmiling one of Reed, I LOVE the Golden sun rays swallowing up my family!!! I love your eye,,,,and miss you already!!! 18 months cannot come fast enough!!!!! Love ANg

Hattie's gorgeous smile and Dave's outgoing personality are a perfect match for one another, and it was evident throughout their session. Their love for the outdoors helped them brave the chilly, rainy day that we were shooting in......they were troopers.
Thanks Emily!! I love these photos and can't wait to see the others!

Despite the monsoon we had gotten the week prior and the few sprinkles that lasted the morning of their wedding day....nothing was going to stop them from celebrating their head over heals love for one another!! Their day was perfect. With the vows at their childhood church and the celebration ending at the GORGEOUS Rochester Country Club both the guests and the bridal party celebrated with the newlyweds as they shared their first night at MR and MRS! :)
This moment between Michelle and her Dad right before walking down the isle makes my heart melt... :)
LOVE this wedding and all the shoes! Great Job!!
(10. 8.09 @ 9:07AM)thanks for everything Emily...the photos look AWESOME! we can't wait to see more!
(10. 8.09 @ 1:10PM)THE SHOES, ROCK MY SOCKS OFF!
(10. 9.09 @ 3:47PM)Looks like a beautiful wedding. Emily sure has captured wonderfully how beautiful the couple is. Big congratulations to you, Michelle and AJ and of course, Michelle's parents (whom I know).
