We've been photographing Ali + JD since the early years of our biz, and it's been amazing staying in touch with them and photographing so many of their family milestones! We recently met up at Brewhouse Inn & Suites for their Maternity Photos, and it was fun capturing their laughs, hearing about their recent family adventures and sharing vacation stories. Can't wait to meet their new addition soon!

The Breakfast Club was the vibe we were going for with some of these photos! The H Family is always game for mixing things up, whether my ideas (like The Breakfast Club or Children of the Corn which we did a few sessions ago!) or their own ideas (like them peeking their heads out from behind the wall)…

I met up with Susi, Brett and their daughter, Grace, to celebrate her 3rd birthday! We captured a mini session along downtown Milwaukee’s lakefront, with the iconic views of the Milwaukee Art Museum in the background. They haven’t been Wisconsinites long, but they’re already accustomed to our winters and love exploring all that the MKE area has to offer. It was great getting to know them and seeing their sweet bond!

It's been six years since I saw this sweet fam, and a lot has changed! Parents Autumn and Jessie, and their kids Alex, Oliver and little Ella met up with me at Grant Park's Seven Bridges, and we had a gorgeous fall day for their session! They boys were full of energy and had fun playing in the leaves and running around, while Ella was taking in all the sights and smells of her first fall season.

The G Family 🍁💛🍂 I met up with parents Javier and Melissa, and their kids Aidan and Noah at South Milwaukee's Grant Park / Seven Bridges. They coordinated their outfits fantastically, and we had such beautiful weather! It was fun getting to know them, hearing about their latest vacation, and talking about Halloween!

A little rain didn't get in our way! I loved meeting and photographing this sweet fam. The weather suddenly turned shortly before their session and sure wasn't what we expected, but they preferred not to reschedule and it worked out really well! We met up at the Marsupial Bridge, and kids Claire and Jack loved running around! We also headed over to Oak Leaf Trail and leaned into the dark skies at the end of our session with some artistic backlit photos!

Just look at all these smiles and giggles! Loved photographing the sweet M Family in MKE's Third Ward! Kids Nolan and Bennett had fun exploring the RiverWalk area, and it was cute seeing them even have their own ideas for some portraits! They also loved the snuggles and tickles from their parents, Jennifer and Tristan. What a great bunch!

Sweet little Ruth just turned ONE! And we celebrated with some fall family portraits at Swan’s Pumpkin Farm where we also picked out our pumpkins and enjoyed cider slushies and donuts 😋 Ruth and her big sister Ella loved checking out all the pumpkins and animals! You can really feel their bond in the big smiles the two of them exchange.

It was so much fun seeing this sweet family again! Parents, Juls + Brian, and their kids Bennett + Breckyn met up with me just before sunset on Milwaukee’s lakefront for their mini session. The rocks, water and views of downtown and the art museum gave us a lot of variety with their photos, and the kids had fun running and playing!

It was great seeing this bunch again! Parents Whitney + David and their adorable littles, Austin + Nora, coordinated their outfits perfectly: a nautical inspired color palette that worked really well with the blues and grays of the cityscape, lake and sky. We met up near Harbor House along Milwaukee’s lakefront for their family mini session. These peanuts are just full of energy and smiles, and it was fun capturing their playful personalities and all the love between this sweet family. Thank you for the honor!

In case you didn’t hear the news… we now have a Luxury Dog Photography brand based here in Milwaukee, too: Buttons & Bones! We were thrilled when Melinda reached out for a session with her hubby Kevin and their two senior gals, and it was great connecting with her and planning their photoshoot at Greenfield Park. You can't read about these sweeties and not fall in love with them...

Always love seeing this sweet fam! We met up at Grant Park’s Seven Bridges where the sun gave us that golden hour magic ✨ and kids Mateo and Kinny had fun running around the bridges and exploring the trails with their mom and dad: Emily and Travis.

It was fun seeing this sweet fam again for their Mini Session: Rebecca, Brett, Declan, Delaney, and their new addition Brady! We had a lovely evening for a walk in the woods, and we documented the full fam, individual portraits of the kids, and some adorable sibling pics. Thank you for the honor! So happy to be capturing your growing family 🥰

It was such a joy photographing this sweet family! Parents Mia + Matt, and their kids, Jack, Isobel and Aria, are all so loving and fun with each other. They love spending time in and near the water as well as in the woods, so South Milwaukee's Grant Park was the perfect location for their session.

Little Josie had fun running across the bridges, snuggling her parents and jumping around at Grant Park’s Seven Bridges! We’ve been photographing this sweet family for a few years now, and it was great seeing Jillian, Dietrich and Josie who has grown so much since we saw her last!

What better way for Carol + Mike to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary than a family vacation?! We got to photograph this friendly bunch while they were visiting Milwaukee together. The scenic lake and downtown views were the perfect backdrop for their portraits to help them remember their special trip.

We first photographed the M Family over a decade ago! It was so wonderful seeing them for some updated family portraits while they were all in town together  It was fun making our way around Boerner Botanical Gardens at Whitnall Park and talking about our summers, Canadian wildlife and everything in between.

Making good use of our time together, we captured a variety of combinations: grandfather and grandkids, dad with daughters, aunt with her niece and nephew, etc.

On the day of our portrait session, it was Lauren + Nick’s 15 year wedding anniversary! This sweet family was on a mini Milwaukee vacation to celebrate 😊 They had a dinner planned at Harbor House, and it worked out perfectly capturing their family portraits all within walking distance of the restaurant.

It was so wonderful meeting and photographing baby Nora! I’ve been photographing parents Erin and Barrett III since their wedding, and capturing this growing family with big brother Barrett IV and now sweet little Nora is such an honor.
