Jesse + Shaina's Snowy Winter Mini Engagement Session

Madison, Wisconsin

You know you're from Wisconsin when you WANT and EMBRACE snow days for a wintery engagement/portrait feel. Well, these two braved the cold for a snowy engagement session, which was all so worth it! What could possibly be better than kisses and snuggles under fresh falling snow. Their love story adventure continues as they settle down in their new home, Madison, while planning a spring wedding by the lake! I'm thrilled to have documented this experience, and gave them snowy photographs to cherish and remember that wintery, Wisconsin day in Madison, where they played, kissed, laughed, and had fun.

Adventurous Wisconsin Winter Proposal At Retzer Nature Center

Midwest Wedding Photographer - Memory Lane Photography by Jessica Lane

I love spending my winter days exploring county parks with my family for the adventures. We love hiking and playing in the snow. So when my passions and business mix, my heart is full knowing I'm truly doing something that I love. I love documenting all couples in love at epic locations all over Wisconsin! My favorite session includes a beautiful outdoor location and a playful, adventurous couple who is madly,deeply in love! When a client dreams of a playful, light and bright winter session in the snow, my guts instantly tells me, we will be a perfect fit. If you dream of beautiful portraits filled with laughs, love and adventure, I'm your girl. If you love nature as much as I do, we are a perfect match.

This beautiful couple hiked through the snow for a morning adventurous winter couples session at Retzer Nature Center. 450 Acres of prairie and forest, one of my favorite spot for some nature walks and fresh air! Retzer is beautiful during every season in Wisconsin.

I had the opportunity to photograph a winter wonderland proposal at Retzer! She was so excited when her man got down on one knee in the snow. He told her the sweetest words that warmed up the chilly winter moment. "I love you. Be my wife, grow old with me on this adventure we call life. Explore the world with me and never leave my side." SHE SAID YES!!!!

The Hockey Mom Diary | Proud Hockey Mom + Photographer | Wisconsin Blogger

We all have our own reasons why we love and think hockey is the best sport ever.... For me, my love for hockey started when I was a senior in high school, watching my hot boyfriend (the goalie) make save after save, showing off those skillz! I fell in love with the game because of my boyfriend. Thank you Jake, my now Husband, who has given me FOUR little boys. 3/4 of those boys of mine play, with their daddy as the coach. My Husband was coached by his dad, who was also a goalie! So it was in the cards for one of our boys to get the Lane Goalie Gene. Our twins, Landon & Lucas, have been playing youth hockey since first year Mites for Waukesha Warhawks. Landon declared goalie for his first year of squirts and is currently finishing up his second year of squirts. They are currently ranked NUMBER ONE in their region, took home the Squirtacular Championship Trophy beating CANADA and are headed to STATE in a few weeks. I couldn't be more proud. Every mom is proud of their kid no matter what they do. There is something about letting the world know you are a hockey mom and you are proud of your kid! And let me tell you, the stress and anxiety a goalie mom feels.... Ahhhh! That's me!!!! So in honor of my obsession with my hockey players and love for the game, I wanted to share all my favorite hockey action shots of my boys over the years, including my favorite hockey quotes.

To Landon, Lucas, Levi,

"You are my favorite players and I am your biggest fan. I will always be supporting you, off and on the ice. You are my babies and my everything. Thank you for giving me so much joy and happiness. I love being your Mommy and I will always be cheering you on."

"Hockey players have fire in their hearts and ice in their veins."
"IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR HOCKEY!"

"It's not how big you are, it's how big you play."

"Great opportunities come to those who make the most of small ones."

"To play the game is good, to win is even better...but to love the game is best of all!"

"Once the love starts, it never stops."
" "There is no position in sport as noble as goaltending!"

"A successful team beats with one heart."
"You never lose. You either win or learn."

I will forever treasure these photographic moments of your youth hockey days. The early morning games, sitting in a freezing cold rink with no coffee, still managing to wake up and cheer despite the 7am start time. I will forever treasure the way my car smells after hockey practice. Two bags, twice the smell. I will forever treasure the time we spent in the car on our way to practice, jamming to music and talking about life. I will forever treasure being your cheerleader, no matter how old and big you get. I will love you forever. You have my heart and attention. You make me proud. I will forever enjoy this time while my children are in youth hockey and together on the same team as brothers, best friends and teammates. Hockey Mommas, hug your babies tight and enjoy the chaos. One day, it will end. They will be old enough to drive themselves to hockey practice. Enjoy the stinky snuggles and nights filled with running around being a taxi and whipping together a quick meal. Life happens. And they grow up, loving the game because of you and your dedication. Thank you God for making hockey moms.

Cassie + Ben's Winter Woodland Engagement Session at Retzer Nature Center

December 2019

After a few emails back and forth from Cassie and Ben, I knew right away that we would be a perfect match! They even met me at The Appleton Ice Rink to have a bridal meeting while I was in between my sons hockey games. I'm based in the Waukesha area, and they happen to live near the ice rink that we had a game at. So we met up on a cold Sunday in November. The rink was full and there was no quiet place to sit and talk. We had no choice but to sit outside on a bench and freeze, while I showed Cassie & Ben recent weddings from The Bog! (Ps, Shout out to The Bog, one of my favorite Wedding Venues!) These two are getting married next winter at The Bog! After meeting and talking wedding photography, they decided to hire me for their wedding! WOOHOO!! I already knew we'd be a perfect fit after they worked around my hockey mom schedule and met me at the rink to chit chat! I'm grateful to have gained another awesome, laid back couple to my 2021 Weddings!!

The weather for our winter woodland engagement was perfect! Hard to believe the day after Christmas was 50 degrees and sunny! During our shoot, we laughed and talked wedding while I documented a beautiful love story at Retzer! Bailey, their pup, joined in on the adventure at Retzer. Cassie and Ben, I'm so excited to be your photographer! Cheers!

Jessica + Daniel | September 14, 2019 | Sugar Island Barn Wedding Day

"Daniel and I met the first night I started working at Donnie boys downtown Waukesha. We became friends at first.. I was sooo scared to turn it into more then just friends because our friendship was so strong. Our first date was at the chocolate factory! Daniel purposed last October at the elegant farmer. He took me to breakfast in the morning and kept telling me he had to go to the bathroom but he was trying to make sure everything was ready at the farm. When we got to the farm we went apple picking and then we got on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch.. he asked me to look at a few pumpkins and I kept saying no I don’t like them and finally he was like can you please just go back and look at that pumpkin and when I turned the pumpkin around it said Jessica will you marry me! When I turned around Daniel was down on one knee! I was sooo excited and I kept saying I have to call my family! And he just kept saying just wait until later.. we’ll we got back on the hay ride to go back and Daniel said why don’t you look over there... all of our family and friends were there with a huge picture sign and balloons waiting for us!!!" - Their Love Story by The Bride, Jessica
