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.

Felix is One! Our photographer Shannon loved seeing this sweet family again! She captured Anna & Mike's maternity portraits, their newborn session when he was a little peanut, and now these adorable and fun photos of them celebrating such an exciting milestone 🥰

They met us at Brewhouse Inn & Suites where Felix loved exploring, checking out all the fun furniture, playing with his rocking horse, and showing off his awesome clapping skills 👏

It was fun meeting up with the V family this Fall for portraits of them at Boerner Botanical Gardens! Their littles, Arthur and Sophia, are so sweet! Parents, Angela & Tristram, described their family as "chaos & cuddles," which is just adorable.

The weather shifted that day and ended up calling for rain, but they didn't mind having fun in the sprinkles, and they decided to still do the session. The rain gave such a fall mood to their photos- love it!

Beach photos don't have to happen in the warm months! I met up with Brianna & Ryan at Grant Park's Seven Bridges, and we had a lovely late afternoon for their engagement photos! Brianna's mom Tammy was also in town from Arizona, so we captured a few mother-daughter photos while they were together as well (stay tuned!).

B+R got engaged last month on their anniversary, and they also just closed on their first house together! So many exciting milestones for them 🎉

Megan got in touch with us saying that to celebrate her parents' 40th Wedding Anniversary, they were planning on a family portrait session, and I was so excited to be a part of it! Megan with her husband Adam and their daughter, Megan's two brothers and their parents all met up with me at South Milwaukee's Grant Park / Seven Bridges. We had a lovely Fall evening with GORGEOUS color!

Little Madeline had so much fun playing in the leaves with her parents, goofing around with her uncles Zak and Sam, and giving big smiles to her grandparents!

We got to wrap up an amazing year of photographing smiling faces with such a special photo session: Maryana and Messiah's adoption day!

I photographed Jane and Marissa's engagement and wedding in 2019, and I was so excited to hear from them again to capture another beautiful milestone for them.

It's always a great time seeing this family! We've photographed senior portraits, cousin mini sessions, and full extended family photos for them - like this session - and it's always an honor. They're a fun bunch, and it's a joy capturing both the posed and candid moments that happen between them! We met up at Lime Kiln Park in Menomonee Falls, and the trees, benches, bridge, waterfall and downtown buildings all made wonderful backdrops for their photos, complete with lovely golden hour lighting.

I loved seeing Brian, Juls, and their sweet family again this Fall! We've been photographing them since their engagement, and it's such an honor capturing them throughout the years.

We met up at South Milwaukee's Grant Park / Seven Bridges, and their kids Bennett and Breckyn had so much fun running over the bridges and exploring the park! They're growing so fast, and we love capturing all their expressions and milestones.

It was wonderful seeing this sweet family again! Parents Rebecca and Brett, and their kids Declan and Delaney, had a fun time hanging out on the beach for their family portrait / maternity session! The kids are excited to welcome another sibling to the family, and Rebecca and Brett look as in love as ever.

We met up at South Shore Park in Bay View where we had lovely golden hour lighting and nice warm sand. It was great catching up with them! We're so excited for your family of five Congratulations!!!

We loved hearing from Joel last year! He wanted to surprise his wife, Debbie, with a gift certificate for family photos as her Christmas gift, and it was wonderful meeting up with all of them this summer. Joel and Debbie live in northern Minnesota, and love visiting their kids who live in Oak Creek WI. So glad we had beautiful weather while they were in town!

I met up with Debbie, Joel, their daughter Jenna, their son Michael, and his fiance Rachel at Boerner Botanical Gardens, and we had perfect golden hour lighting! It was so much fun getting to know this bunch as we made our way around the gardens. They're such a sweet family!

We love including natural feeling poses along with capturing those treasured candid moments during family portraits! Jennie and Mike along with their kids, Nick and Sofia, love family snuggles, and it was heartwarming capturing their affection for one another during their session. It was a little chilly, but we incorporated some football, soccer, running and silliness to keep them warm! We had a great time making our way around Milwaukee’s lakefront: Lakeshore State Park, areas near the @milwaukeeart museum and downtown.

I loved getting to know the four of you! Thank you so much for the honor and for such a fun session!

📚 This sweet family is soon to be a family of four! It was so much fun making our way around Milwaukee and Wauwatosa for their maternity session! Sarah and Mike were beaming along with their daughter, Ella, who is so excited to be a big sister!

The Heights Dream Library mural was an amazing backdrop for the first part of their session, and then we headed west to Hoyt Park for some scenic photos on the picturesque bridge. Thank you for the honor of capturing another milestone for your family! We're so, so happy for all of you! ❤️

It was SO much fun photographing the L Family! Parents Jen and Matthew, and their kids Axel and Lucy came dressed for the weather with some nice pops of color, and they had a blast playing in the snow together with their rescue dog, Noodles. We met up at Milwaukee’s Lake Park where we had perfect golden hour lighting and captured a great blend of posed and candid photos.

It was wonderful meeting this sweet bunch! Lorin and Matt got in touch with us this Fall for a combination session: some couple’s photos of the two of them as well as extended family portraits with their parents. Lorin’s mom Barbara and Matt’s parents, Kathy and Marvin, were happy to join the fun, and we all met up at Whitnall Park. It was a chilly evening, and they all had no problem snuggling while warming each other up!
