PHOTOGRAPHY

1) Utilize a Timeline. When I put together timelines for my couples, I anticipate the unexpected (makeup delays, members of the wedding party getting lost, working around rain, etc.). Sometimes things don't go as planned, and I plan for that so that regardless we can still capture beautiful moments and create a positive experience that will show in your photos. Making a plan for your day not only helps keep everyone on the same page, from your wedding party to your wedding ve

What a perfect day with family and dear friends, even the rain held off until I snapped the very last shot! Rodney and Amber said 'I do' at the beautiful Fox Hills Resort, and I loved everything about this wedding! Amber looked nothing short of stunning. Rodney gifted his groomsmen the most unique and thoughtful gifts ever. I couldn't stop obsessing over the bouquets created by Ebb & Flow Flowers, and the wedding party was so much fun to celebrate with. This was one wedding f

Every wedding I photograph is such a gift. And it's even a bit more special of a gift when it's for dear friends. When Justin first moved to Wisconsin a few years ago he started attending the same church as Karl and I, and the two quickly became good friends. The kind of friends that you just know will be in your life through all the years. I'm thankful my husband has a friend like Justin, and I'm even more thankful for the friend I gained in Sarah after the two started datin

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
