Paige and Luke are engaged | Swing Park, Milwaukee, WI

Adam loved photographing Luke and Paige's engagement session, and he can't wait to capture their big day this February in North Carolina!

The two of them met at camp before college started, and they've been dating since their freshman year. They live across the river from Swing Park, so they cross the bridge together often while they head to Brady Street, Lakefront Brewery and Eagle Park. It made a perfect location for their engagement photos!

Golden Hour Extended Family Session

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.

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.

Welcome Baby Felix | In Home Newborn Photos

Our photographer Shannon loved meeting up with Anna and Mike again! She previously photographed their gorgeous maternity session, and this time she got to meet sweet baby Felix! She joined them at their home for some intimate and natural lifestyle photos of their family. We love capturing our newborn sessions at our clients' homes because it keeps things really easy on our sleep-deprived parents adjusting to life with a (wonderful) new baby in the house! They also take you right back to that moment in time as you look at them through the years ❤

Felix enjoyed all the snuggles with his parents who just could not stop smiling at him. So much love! Congratulations, Anna and Mike! We're so happy for you and your 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.

Corrine’s Third Ward Mini Senior Session

Corinne is an artist - they plan on going to art school for illustration and are interested in becoming a tattoo artist - and wanted the vibe/feeling of our shoot to be similar to that of a nine legged, two headed deer caught by a trail cam. It was so much fun running with this as inspiration, and we had a great time making our way around Milwaukee's Third Ward while talking about art, National Parks, and bats. Thank you so much for the honor of capturing your senior portraits! Hope you have such a fantastic experience in art school next year.
