Love in the time of COVID. 🥰😷 Last weekend’s small, intimate ceremony was in so many ways traditional, while being entirely new and different with face masks on and almost all the guests on zoom. Still 100% love though!. . . . . . . . . . . . . #katiederusphotography #weddingphotos #weddingphotography #wisconsinweddingphotographer #chicagoweddingphotgrapher #covidwedding #caronaviruswedding

We decided if we were going to be spending so much time at home this spring and summer, we might as well take advantage of every livable space possible and made a little backyard oasis! Tonight we added the finishing touch of the string lights and now it’s so cozy and festive! #weliveoutherenow

I FINALLY did something I have been saying I was going to do for YEARS now! I opened a print shop on Etsy!!! Holy cow was this a labbbbor of love. Digging through over a decade of photos on hard drives. Tweaking edits. Culling it down. Creating mock ups of what every image would look like printed. And then listing 60+ (!!!!!!) images available for instant download in my Etsy shop. Phew! It was a lot. But listen, I don’t have much else to do, and hopefully this brings everyone some fun and joy to look at and some color and world adventure into their homes!!! And please don’t tell me if it’s bad cuz I won’t survive 🤣🤪 . . To find it: go to Etsy, search “printsbykatiederus” (all one word, NO spaces) and VOILA! ⭐️😍

Working on getting my Etsy print shop up and running! It’s been a loonnnng dig through my archives and doing re-edits! I’m excited to share what I’ve picked with the world but also kind of nervous because most of these are just my fun-photos. My side projects. My travel joys. They really were always just for me - what I like to see and hang in my home. I hope you guys all like them too!!! . . Also it’s making me sooooo sad and nostalgic for travel. I miss it all so so much. I am truly going to try to never ever take travel for granted again in the future. . . . . . . . . #katiederusphotography #travel #travelphoto #travelphotography #travelwisconsin #visitwisconsin #wisconsin #wisconsinlighthouse #lighthouse #doorcounty #doorcountywisconsin #visitdoorcounty

Happy Friday! Do the days even matter anymore? Since I can’t take my camera and come meet anyone for fun and photos, I figured I’d do a little Instagram intro, coronavirus edition! . . 1) I hate eating leftovers so my biggest struggle with constantly cooking at home is trying to only make things I’m willing to eat as a leftover too. 🌮🍝🥘 2) I’m a born rule follower, so not only am I aggressively staying home, I’m having a hard time not raging at anyone I see NOT following the rules. Think of it this way people: if you have to ask yourself if something is okay to do, the answer is no. Just don’t do it.🚫💪🏼 3) if you’ve ever met me IRL you know I’m pretty loud and chatty so most people assume I’m an extrovert. But truly, I’m an introverted extrovert: I can be very outgoing and talk to anyone about anything, but I PREFER to stay home and be alone and I recharge my energy by being solo. So the whole staying home in my sweats and interacting with no new humans thing is really my jam 😬🙋🏻♀️ 4) we are canceling our lonnnnng dreamed of once-in-life-time honeymoon trip in May and I’m the most devastated about that. 😭✈️🗺 5) I keep trying to at-home workout and I keep just stopping after 10-15 minutes cuz no one is making me, which is so par for the course haha 🤸♂️🧘🏻♀️🥇 . . Also remember these photos @kbdigitaldesigns? I always use the blue dress ones but I was back in my archives and dug some others out 🤣

10/10 would recommend having a niece/flower girl who’s obsessed with Queens and therefor knows exactly how to carry your train at your wedding. This little gal *nailed* her duties!! She also paid me THE HIGHEST compliment when she saw me that day: “Katie today YOU can be the Queen and I’ll just be the Princess” 👸🏻🤩👰🏻 Photos: @cassierosch Tiny human: @macarenacorral @joemayerle
