Adoption is Good Business | Milwaukee Event Photographer

Recently, we volunteered our services to the Adoption Resources of Wisconsin (ARW) for their Adoption is Good Business Luncheon. The event honored Brady Corporation for their support to employees looking to adopt.

The Keynote speaker was Sean Tuohy, the adoptive father of Michael Oher (their and their family's story might be familiar to you from the movie "The Blind Side."

He spoke of the amazing story of how he and his wife Leigh came to meet Michael and welcome him into their family. If you haven’t seen the movie The Blind Side, it truly is a must see! And, if you or anyone that you know is considering adoption, please take advantage of the assistance and guidance that ARW has to offer.  Here are a few photos from the event!

Jim certainly had a lot to celebrate... and awesome friends and family to do it with! Great conversation and food was had by all, along with the enjoyment of touching speeches and an entertaining slideshow! It was a pleasure to see everyone honoring Jim, and we're excited for him to enjoy this next chapter of his life. Congratulations!

Adoption Resources of Wisconsin ~ Annual Adoption Celebration & Gala | Milwaukee Event Photographer

Adam and I were happy to donate our serves again to the Adoption Resources of Wisconsin, this time at their Annual Adoption Celebration & Gala. They're such a great organization and we love to help them out! We also donated a portrait session and Metal Mosaic for their silent auction... we're excited to meet and photograph the person who won!

Here are some of our favorite photos from their evening of festivities...

The Wisconsin Club's rich architecture made for a great setting for the event (brides, isn't this a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding?!).















Some fantastic silent auction items!





Creative floral arrangements were donated by Chamberlain's Flower Shop, and could be purchased by the attendees, proceeds going to ARW.





Some hard workers in the registration room...







ARW's Family of the Year! ... and look how perfectly coordinated they are! :)

Colleen's Silver Anniversary Party

Adam and I are happy to be donating our services to the Adoption Resources of Wisconsin.

Last week we shot our first event for them; Adam had the pleasure of photographing CEO Colleen Ellingson’s 25th Anniversary party. A group of adoptive parents founded the organization and hired Colleen on a few months later, and she's been with the organization ever since. Thank you for your dedication, Colleen, and for making such a difference.
