December 12, 2011
Not only does I heart faces have fix it friday's but also weekly photo challenges. This week is furry faces so I couldn't help but enter this photo. I'm sure it's been posted on this blog somewhere before but it's one of my favorites!

I like exclamation points, sleeping for more then 10 hours, and doughnuts! I specialize in natural light wedding and engagement photography that's full of light, color, and vibrance! I love being with my couples for every step to I do. So grab a cup of coffee (or my favorite, peach tea!) and take a look around. 

I am based out of lovely Madison, Wisconsin. I do love airplanes & my car (hello singing session!) so I am available for travel!

Prepping and packing for a wedding weekend up in Egg Harbor, Door County. To say I'm excited is an understatement & the best part about it? It's 1 of 2 weddings in Egg Harbor this season. What are the chances?! .. What I'm most excited about though? Jacqy and Jake live in Colorado. Their adventuring is inspiring & gives me envy on a regular basis 😉 Even though we haven't met yet, I feel like I know them both. I honestly can't wait to celebrate the marriage of these two. .. Double tap if traveling is something you enjoy! Minus the packing part, I hate packing & I'm SO bad at it (aka had to steal deodorant from my second momma before Mexico 🙈)! Those Monday vibes, friends. Wishing my to-do list included couch time, puppy breath, and snuggles from this little guy. My brother decided to add a golden retriever to the family last week. Meet Orvis. He’s quite mischievous (in the best way possible). .. There is a good chance I'll push the to-do list to the side, grab a swim suit, and catch some rays ☀️✌🏻Work will be there tomorrow :) WHOA. You with the scrolling thumb. You stahhhp right meow 😺 .. Do you see this love-filled overly joyous couple? They’re Destinee & Mike. They got married this past weekend & you see… Their day was full of all sorts of heart-tugging moments. 1️⃣ They had a beautiful moment, back to back, without seeing each other before the ceremony 😍 2️⃣ They both had tear filled eyes as Destinee walked down the aisle. If you’re a romantic like me, that’ll hit you in all the feels. 3️⃣ Basking in the golden glow, you could feel (if I could italicize that I would) the love pouring out from them. .. If you hadn’t already found yourself on the blog (but why would you? I’m terrible at Instagram) they went live yesterday. So if you’re feeling like feeling good, you should click the link in my bio and venture over there.. Just sayin’ 😘 I took a screen shot of this piece of art off of @taylorcoxart's feed probably months ago. The colors, the texture. It hit me way down deep in the all the feels (Choo Choo corn ball alert). .. My mom and I (well the whole fam-bam) were recently at Art Fair on the Square in Madison discussing art. I finally realized what it is about pieces that draw me in.. It’s those pieces that I can stare at, and lose myself in. The one where the imagination takes over. The one where I find myself walking the streets of San Juan or the one that reminds me of a sunset above a terra-cotta color filled Arizona. .. What is it about art that draws you in? I’m seriously still swooning (yes, really) over this piece. When you get to go to bed with a happy heart & a smile plastered to your face. No where (& no one) else I'd rather have been celebrating today. Congratulations Destinee & Mike! Heart you both BIG time. After today's wedding I will officially be half-way thru the 2017 season. I'm not entirely sure where time is going but please, slow down!! The end of July ends the "oh my craziness" of the season, the last 10 span from August-November. So while I love shooting back to back, I'll be welcoming a slower rest of the summer/fall. .. Now back to my lovely documentary & snuggles with Otto! 🐷 Hi friends 👋🏻 Caitlin here. It's high time for a good #fridayintroductions. I'm currently writing this from 30k feet... On my flight home from Seattle. A whirlwind trip but so fun! .. I'm the owner and lead photographer behind Caynay Photo. This month is my 6-year work anniversary. Where or where has the time gone?!?! Truly, how amazing of a journey has it been so far. .. I love all things murder/mystery.. Documentaries, podcasts, books.. If it's dark & creepy I dig it (is that weird? Maybe) - If it's nice outside, my windows are down in the car. No AC for this girl 🙅🏼 - I'm a pretty private person.. So I often struggle with writing/publishing insta-squares! - & last but definitely not least, donnnnnuts are on my brain at least once a day 🍩 😍 Technology and a new MacBook just make all things better. Sitting in a hotel outside of Seattle, WA hitting publish on Saturday's wedding. That's what a good workflow will do 😉 .. So with that said, Wendy & Dan's wedding is up on the blog. If you think these 👆🏻flowers are beautiful (I know, I do) then you'll love their whole day. .. 💐: @generationswfnp #linkinbio I feel like every time I shoot at the Capitol I get to shoot it from a different angle, in a different area, & every time I am floored by its beauty. Sticking Wendy & Dan in front of it with this GORGEOUS light sure was icing on the cake 😍 I can't WAIT to blog this beauty this week!!!! Couple things I want to discuss today. New music because well, I’ve stumbled across a good amount recently & the second being the bride these earrings belong to. Their wedding is up on the blog. A country-chic wedding in Platteville, WI at The BARn. .. Alrighty, onto the music. Let’s do this. 1. You Broke Up with Me by Walker Hayes (country) 2. No Fear by DeJ Loaf (hip hip hop hip hippopotamus) 3. Make Time by Quinn XCII (pop) 4. There For You by Martin Garrix & Troye Sivan (Dance) 5. For The Summer by Ray LaMontagne (Alternative) .. Back to the wedding.. It’s up on the blog & the link is in my bio if you’re interested :) Happy happy happy happy If you're self employed, have friends who are also self employed (or firefighters who have weird schedules). Spent the day on Lake Mendota and it honestly was amazing. A good day full of sunshine, beers, and puppies! .. So excited for tomorrow's wedding even though I will slightly resemble a garbage panda all day. 🐼😎😂 I always get extra excited for weddings on private properties. I'm not sure why but there is just something so welcoming & extra romantic about them. Sarah & Tony's wedding day was no exception. .. But as I said on the blog, I'm going to stop talking because honestly? I just want you to look at the images. I'm pretty dang excited about them. My favorite part though? HER DRESS. I about died when I showed up that morning. Completely obsessed. .. @canonusa | 50mm 1.2 / SS: 1600 / f/2.2 / ISO 125 #sarahtoninlove #linkinbio Nothing like starting your Monday with a phone call to the bank for fraudulent charges. Man, why do people have to stink sometimes? .. One of my favorite tricks for editing ring shots. If you’re working in Lightroom brush the ring, drop the exposure a smidge, & de-saturate Is it poor business practices to steal your own caption from #sarahtoninlove’s FB sneak!? Even if it is, I’m doing it anyway 😂 .. Insert one million heart eyed emojis riiiiight here 😍 .. Today had me oo-ing and ah-ing all over the place & guess what? I’m totally okay with it. Their session happened in Milwaukee on a super hot summer day. It was hands down some of the most beautiful light I have worked it. Resulting it being one my most favorite engagement sessions. .. The sun is out today folks & getting these two back in front of my camera in Stevens Point, WI sounds like a great idea. .. Man, I feel so dang lucky getting to travel all over the state (& to a different country) this season. Crazy town! Have a fabulous weekend my friends!! This guy is the real MVP. I don't know many dogs who are down with sleeping 10 hours at night. Whose cardio goal is 15 minutes (with sometimes a pit stop lay down sesh half way thru) every three days. Whose okay when I'm gone for 10 hours on a Saturday or having to go stay at my parents house (or in this case, a camper) for a weekend. .. I feel lucky to have this guy as my roommate. He doesn't pull his weight around here much (like wash your water bowl sometimes, dude) & he seagulls my food.. But he currently smells like a lavender field (bath day) so he can stay. 😍 .. I can be weird, I get it. 😂#ottothebulliebestie Wowee! It's been a tad bit quiet around here. When life gets busy my social media presence dips a little (okay, a lot). In all honesty though, I feel like I type a variation of that sentence out every 3 weeks! & truth be told, if it wasn't for my business I wouldn't be on social media at all 🙈 #confession .. Another random fact? Did you know that I shoot boudoir? & that it is one of my favorite things to do right now? Which sounds semi-weird since it's a "half nakey in your undies" session. But there is just something so unbelievably fun about a good window, girly lingerie, and a white back drop. We keep it Classy (with a Capitol C) up in here! Add wine & music to it? Definitely a party. .. What is something you love doing that not everyone knows? Yesterday left me with all the feels. All for these two. Celebrating their love had me filled with excitement, tears, goose bumps, and a love-filled heart. These two are the real deal. Their love is SO SO SO Good. .. & because their hashtag needs it’s own line. It’s that good. .. #pfannytakesthejohnson 😂 Want to freak out a photographer real quick? .. Hide an external hard drive. It’s that easy. .. Was working on a little project and my first tip was I couldn’t find my oldddd head shots. Thought hmph, that’s funny. Continued working. Fast forward 15 minutes and I needed a specific photo from a 2016 wedding.. Strange, why can’t I find ANY of my weddings from February 2016-October 2016. ENSUE PANIC MODE. Like body sweats, gonna barf panic mode (I do have everything backed up on a cloud, but still). .. On the phone with my mom going through the Amazon account purchases, explicits were dropped, I swore I had one more hard drive. .. Panic mode elevates. Holy macaroni. .. I continue to look everywhere. Pulling everything out of my file cabinet thingy, pulling everything out of my safe. Can’t find it anywhere. .. The tears were building you guys. Trying to distract myself from jumping off my balcony and I pick up an invite on my desk… .. There she was. OH my lanta. #hotmessexpress
