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.

Erin + Tim had a beautiful day at Bender Park in Oak Creek for their intimate elopement! They chose the location where they had their first date, and we love how the park will hold even more special meaning for them now. The date of their elopement was also their anniversary- what a wonderful way to celebrate with their kids and loved-ones!

Dan and Jamie's wedding so perfectly reflected their tastes and personalities! When they visited Dandy, they knew it was going to be their first and only venue tour. They loved the unique style, colors, and overall vibe of the space, and they said it "really felt like us." True to their thoughtful nature, their invitations were one of a kind! They recorded a podcast about each guest and sent an email invitation with an audio file attached to each person. Isn't that amazing?!

Melania loves traveling and figure skating, and it was fun hearing about her recent trips and competitions during her session!

“Evanescent” by Atelier Sisu was on display in downtown Milwaukee, so after the lakefront we made our way to Marcus Center to get some artistic photos amid the picturesque "bubble-tecture!” 🤩 We love our Extended Senior Sessions and how we have plenty of time to explore and get creative with lighting!

Before heading to the Waukesha riverwalk and downtown areas for Alana's senior pictures, we met up at the Frame Park Gardens, and everything was in full bloom! It was just gorgeous and a perfect location for photos. Alana wore two different looks there, and the golden hour sunshine really helped everything pop.

Ava loves spending time at the beach with her friends, so lakefront locations had the perfect vibe for her senior pictures. We had a great time making our way around Grant Park / Seven Bridges and the downtown Milwaukee lakefront near Discovery World for her portraits! Her flowy dress worked nicely with the wind coming off of the lake, and both looks color-coordinated our locations fantastically.

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.

Megan and Tim’s wedding ceremony was officiated by another set of lovebirds, two of their close friends who did an amazing job! The ceremony at Riverside Park in Watertown was so personal, and guests loved watching them get married amid the sunshine and sounds of the river.

Our photographer Sarah met up with Jenny + Dan in Madison where they were spending a romantic day together: brunch, their elopement and portraits! The two of them were married by a judge at 5pm, and afterwards Sarah had a wonderful time making her way around the Wisconsin State Capitol for their photos. They’re so sweet and candid with each other! Afterward, they planned to share the news of their elopement with family before spending the evening seeing a movie together. What a chill and joyous day!

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.

Dan and Eric had a picture-perfect wedding day, captured by our photographer Sarah. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum is like a photographer’s playground, and she had so much fun exploring the Villa and gardens with this sweet and romantic duo.Eric loves that Dan takes good care of him, and Dan said he loves that Eric makes him feel safe. ❤️ Their love just shines through in their photos.

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.

Abby + Connor had a picture-perfect wedding day! I love that they trusted me as we made our way around for photos so when I said “Ooh! Let’s get some in this car port,” they were like, “ok!”

Lauren + Christian had the perfect evening for their maternity photos at Grant Park’s Seven Bridges! They had been to the park before, but not this trail so it was fun showing them around and exploring with them! I loved getting to know these two as they’re embarking on the exciting journey of parenthood ❤️

Gabi loves dancing, listening to music and traveling, and it was fun incorporating some of her dance moves in her senior pictures! 🤩

She loves spending time in the city so we met up in Milwaukee's Third Ward during golden hour. After a daytime look, we captured some more dramatic nighttime shots, too! ✨

Jessica and Rob’s wedding day started at Milwaukee Marriott Downtown. They had all the fun getting-ready vibes with toasts, finishing touches, and new ironing techniques 😉 After their First Look and some portraits at the hotel, we headed to City Lights Brewing Co. for them to have fun with their wedding party and capture a few more photos.

Alex + Katie met in a theater lighting class at @uwmilwaukee, became friends, and their friendship eventually blossomed into something more ❤

Katie loves Alex's intelligence, humor, listening skills, loyalty, love of animals, and kindness. Alex loves Katie's smile, her kind and generous nature, her humor, the depth to which she cares about other people, her supportiveness, and her emotional intelligence. They're such a wonderful match!

Adam was thrilled to join Luke and Paige in Newland, North Carolina for their mountain destination wedding, which was so personal, intimate, and emotional ❤️

The two of them walked into their intimate ceremony together, which included each guest doing a reading, a very proud little Ring Dog, and a LEGO unity ceremony. Everything was them, 100%!

Kat and Maki were both in high school theatre crew, and they got to know each other over several performances. On the last show of their final year, Maki “finally mustered the courage” to ask Kat out and the rest is history!

Maki said, “I love Kat’s sense of humor, her compassion for animals, her love of art and nature. Her honesty and candor is something I’ve always appreciated about her character. She is beautiful, fun, and warm. I feel at home next to her.”
