For about two weeks every spring (and two every fall) you can find me running around town popping in and out of my car with my camera trying to capture the beauty that is all the bright blossoms and blooms (or leaves changing)... so if you see me just wave and check Instagram for the results 😂👋🏼🌸 . . . . . . . . . . . . #katiederusphotography #spring #springflowers #springtime #cherryblossom #wisconsinphotographer #milwaukeephotographer

Happy Mother’s Day!! I didn’t prepare well enough to have a picture of my own mother ready for today sooo here’s the most recent Mom in my archives instead! I get the pleasure of photographing so many different kinds of Moms - brand new ones, ones with a couple crazy big kids, ones watching their babies all grown up and getting married! And damn are Moms just the best ever! 🤗🤰🏼🤱🏻👩🏽👵🏼😍 . . . . . . . . . . #katiederusphotography #happymothersday #mothersday #mom #moms #girlmom #newborn #newbornphotos #newbornphotography #newbornphotographer #milwaukeenewbornphotographer #babygirl #newbaby #motherdaughter
Will I ever stop loving these photos or congratulating myself on finding this dress AND having a good hair day for this shoot?! Probably not 🤷🏽♀️😬🙋🏽♀️ haha! Anyyyyway, been a minute since I did a Friday Introductions post! And there are some new friends around here so here’s a few things you may or may not know about me: 1) I’m obsessed with the show Survivor. You can call me a nerd, but I’ll fight anyone about it. It’s AMAZING.🌴☀️🐛 2) I love dark, dreary rainy days. 🌧💨 3) I played rugby in college and walked in to my very first day and the coach heard how loud I was and told me I’d be scrum half, to which I shrugged (cuz, uhh whaaat?) and never looked back or played a single other position because it was simply perfect for me. Also, our coach was a genius. Shout out to all my Kitty Katts 🐱💪🏼🏉 4) I loooove a good costume or theme party and would throw them once a month if I could 🧝🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️👑💃🏽 5) My middle name is Wellman which I used to haaaate as a kid, but it’s my grandmother’s maiden name and I now love it because it’s rooted in so much history! Happy Friday everyone!! 📸: @kbdigitaldesigns . . . . . . . . . . #katiederusphotography #fridayintroductions #allaboutme #me #meettheartist #dressup #wisconsinphotographer #milwaukeephotographer #lifestylephotographer

OH. EM. GEEEEE!!! My brand new website is LIIIIIIVE!!! 💃🏽🥂🙌🏼😍 And I am equal parts obsessed with its colorful goodness, nervous to share it, and amazed that I did it ALL BY MYSELF! . . I mean ooookay also with the help of the insanely awesome @showit.co and their super user-friendly builder that I cannot say enough good things about! And @thedesignspaceco’s template of my dreams!! And @jamiedelaine for being an awesome guide, especially with the tricky “about me” writing that I struggggle with! Annnnd the help of my team of expert content/spelling/functionality editors (aka my high school besties who all made it through Grandy English classes, and thus I trust explicitly with my little internet corner, especially all the writing. Ps: you may see some of their faces over there!). Annnnddd my most intelligent personal tech support person. You all know who you are and you are heroes to me! 😬😘 . . But truly. I know it may not seem like anything super special, but I worked SO hard for weeks (months!) on this and it’s crazy to know I had the vision of what I wanted and I made it come to life! And it’s crazy to see my years of photography culled down to my best-of-the-best all-time favorited and all in one beeeautiful spot! . . My only two requests are you check it out on a real computer (vs phone) if you get a chance (she’s oh so pretty that way!) annnnd that if you catch a stray spelling error or misplaced punctuation or a link that doesn’t work like it should, PLEASE let me know so I can fix it ASAP! 😘🤗 Link is in my bio or just go to www.katiederusphoto.com - Here’s to bigger and better things for Katie Derus Photography!! 🍾🙌🏼🙋🏽♀️ . . . . . . . . . #katiederusphotography #newwebsite #newwebsitelaunch #websitedesign #website #showit #showitunited #thedesignspaceco #weddingphotographer #wisconsinweddingphotographer #milwaukeeweddingphotographer #photographerwebsite
I was just talking with my friends about what makes a good wedding toast and what makes a baaaad one (you know, those long, rambling, drunken, confusing, wtf😯 ones!) ... generally speaking I see and capture WAY more awesome toasts vs awful ones! 🙌🏼🥂 ... What are some of your horror stories or fav speeches?!? . . . . . . . . . . . . #katiederusphotography #wedding #weddingday #weddingphotography #weddingphotographer #wisconsinphotographer #wisconsinweddingphotographer #milwaukeeweddingphotographer #chicagoweddingphotographer #toasts #weddingtoast #brideandgroom #weddingreception #onlyaelo @aelochicago

If you ever wanted me to sum up my “ideal couple” in a single sentence... it’s “a couple who brings champagne to their shoot!” Nanda and Pete did exactly that and I am OBSESSED with how cute the photos are - from popping the bottle to cheersing and sipping together. 😍🥂🤗 . . . . . . . . . . #katiederusphotography #milwaukeephotographer #milwaukeeengagement #engaged #engagementphotos #champagne #rose #toast #cheers #love #milwaukeeweddingphotographer #wisconsinweddingphotographer #mke #wedmke #mkephotographer
