PHOTOGRAPHY

Besides the weather being 10 degrees, I don't think I could have more fun with Joe and Kelley for their engagement session! These two are just the sweetest and I had such a blast photographing their love for each other. They endured Wisconsin's chilly day with me and their girls even joined in on a few photos. We met at the charming Cedar Creek Winery, and then ended our session with some coffee and hot chocolate at Cedarburg Coffee Roastery. I just adore the couples I get to

Kristin and Aaron first met through eHarmony. After messaging back and forth for a few weeks, Aaron finally asked her out so they could meet in person. So over coffee at the Little Red Mill, where they could enjoy conversation and the outdoors together, they had their first date! Followed by many, many more. "No matter what we do, from grocery shopping to kayaking, we just have fun together!" Some of Aaron and Kristin's favorite things to do together is cooking and watching o

A common question I hear is 'Why is wedding photography so expensive?' And a quick assumption that follows after someone learns I am a wedding photographer, responding to the presumed overpriced transactions,"Wow that's a really profitable market!" These are familiar thoughts, and to be honest, until I immersed myself into the wedding photography industry did I fully become aware of how little I knew about all the unknown parts that go into entrepreneurship and running a busi

What happens when a Packers fan moves to Minnesota? He falls in a love with a Viking queen! They may be rival fans, but these two are putting the games aside and getting married! I went to college with Ben, he and Karl are good friends, and he was a groomsman in our wedding! I had heard so many good things about Kelli when they started dating, and I could not wait to finally meet her! They wanted to have a two-part engagement session to show off their Wisconsin-Packers side,

I absolutely love photographing weddings, but there's really something special about photographing two people in love after the party is over. After the guests return home, the dress folded away, the thank-yous sent. When life and marriage together begin. Then all too quickly, before you can even a blink, a year passes and you're celebrating your one-year anniversary. Then two years. Five years. Ten years. Together. Time and years witness so much growth in your knowledge and

"After being away on tour for 6 months, Kathryn went home for a break in February 2016. Little did she know, Jeremy had an unforgettable Valentine's Day planned for the two of them. After a beautiful walk through Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens, he walked her into the butterfly garden. There, he got down on one knee and proposed." And now here they are. Their wedding day. As Kathryn walked down the aisle towards Jeremy, as they stood side by side holding each other, thei

After eleven years together, Jordan and Hailey are getting married! We almost rescheduled their session because it was raining on and off all day, but we risked it and I'm so glad we did! The rain held off until the very ending, and then we all got soaked. So worth it though for the beautiful images we from their High Cliff engagement session! Hailey was a recipient of a portrait session I donated to Valley Cats Rescue, a local no-kill cat shelter, for an auctioned item at th

Curt and Karen met in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on a mission trip through a college ministry. The first time they talked was on their first day of work at a beach rental reservation job. Eventually, their friendship turned into a little bit of something more spending many, many miles on the weekends visiting each other as they navigated long distance for a few years. Last summer, Curt took Karen to the very spot they had their first date and asked her a pretty import

Dads. You're pretty special people. And I think there is something truly lovely about dads and daughters. Maybe it's cause I'm a daughter myself, or maybe it's because nearly every weekend I see just how precious that father-daughter relationship is in priceless moments I get to pause in photographs. His face when he sees his little girl dressed as a beautiful bride, his hands holding her tight guiding her down the aisle and proudly giving her away, and those ever tearful fat

Sometimes you meet people so talented you feel pretty awesome yourself just by being around them. And that's Lauren, she breathes her passion for floral arrangements. Lauren is the founder and owner of Flower Mill, an environmentally conscious floral design studio specializing in weddings and fresh arrangements, and your modern day girl boss! During our time together, she arranged a beautiful bouquet, and it is pure art witnessing her process. It was such a joy to sit down wi
