Sam’s Milwaukee Library + Harbor District Senior Pictures

Sam wanted a moody "Dead Poets Society" vibe to their senior pictures, and the Milwaukee Public Library was so kind to let us photograph there! Sam told me about their favorite book and they were also excited to find a copy of "Dracula" to incorporate in their pictures. It was so much fun getting to know Sam and photographing them in the golden hour lighting outside, in the picturesque rotunda, and among the stacks!

Black Cat Alley Senior Session | Downtown Milwaukee

I met up with Reagan last week for her senior portraits, and we had such a fun evening! She loves the city and is also a painter, so Black Cat Alley made the perfect place to start her photos. We made our way around the East Side and Third Ward, inspired by all the different textures, colors, city lights, and evening sun. Loved creating a look for her that was edgy and outside the box!

She's in her senior year at Whitewater High School and in the process of looking at different options for college. Best of luck, Reagan, and thanks so much for the honor of being your photographer!
