Beth and Jaco have a sweet little family run lamb and chicken farm on

the property that Beth grew up on.  It holds many, many great childhood memories for their 

family and friends.  It is such a blessing to watch Jaco and Beth raise their kiddos at this space with so much history. 

They have a great love story, they met while Beth was working in the Peace Corps in Jaco's home country of Namibia.  

They got married there, and then had a celebration of marriage back state-side.    

We have spent countless hours with this lovely family and I am so happy to have been able to capture 

another chapter in their book of life.

Cheers friends!

Tracy + Jim WI Fall Wedding https://mjthomasphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/10/tracy-jim-wi-fall-wedding Tracy and Jim had a beautiful fall day for their wedding.

There were so many special little details about the day that made it as unique as their love.

We went back to a very special place to their history to take 

their photos and it was beautiful to see how at ease and evident their love for one another is.

Cheers to many, many more years of happiness together!

Cassidy - Newborn https://mjthomasphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/9/cassidy---newborn Miss Cassidy

There are some shoots that edit better in color, some better in black and white.

For Miss Cassidy I couldn't choose but I am more drawn toward the black and white, it is so striking, maybe because 

her sweetness is just like that - black and white - clearly the apple of her momma and daddy's eyes.

The love this family has for one another is beautiful, I cannot wait to watch Cassidy grow.

Coby - Newborn https://mjthomasphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/9/coby---newborn A few weeks on a perfectly sunny Friday morning I got to meet little Coby.

I loved getting to chat with his momma and watch how he responds to her voice.

It has been so incredibly sweet to watch how these little ones interact with their families.

He is the youngest of 4 boys, it will be so fun to watch him grow and see where his 

personality fits him into that pack of brothers! 

Such a sweet way to start a day to capture a few moments with him.

Adam + Monica Summer Wedding https://mjthomasphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/9/adam-monica-summer-wedding Adam and Monica had an absolutely gorgeous day for a backyard wedding.

The ceremony took place at Adam's parents home, the flowers, decor and day were perfect.

There were so, so many personalized details and touches throughout the day

that it just made it feel that much more special. 

Adam and Monica have put down a strong foundation to build their love on for the years to come and

I pray for many more blessings in their days together.

M + L Dassow Family https://mjthomasphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/8/m-l-dassow-family There is something to be said about taking your own families pictures.

This is my brother Monte and his family, I had a hard time going through and editing because I 

kept rotating between tears in my eyes and laughter.  

I can FEEL the love that this family has for each other when I look at this pictures. 

I am so proud of the Dad that Monte is and thank Lori for keeping those boys in line and loving them so very much.

They are truly a beautiful family and I am so proud to call them part of mine.

J + J Engagement https://mjthomasphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/6/j-j-engagement Jeanette + Jeff Engagement

I love, love.  

One of my absolute favorite things while capturing photos of couples

is the extra light you can see in their eyes and 

the easiness of their smiles when their eyes shift from the camera to their partner.  

Little glimpses of magic there.

Grateful to be able to encapsulate of a piece of this love story.
