Jan Serr Studio Wedding | Emma and Brian
Officiated by a close friend and having written their own vows, Emma and Brian’s ceremony was so personal and heartfelt. Their cocktail hour following was filled with lots of fun and laughter, and the newlyweds snuck out for just a few minutes for some creative portraits in the nearby Black Cat Alley. They returned in time for an exciting grand march and cake cutting, touching speeches, and every generation enjoying the dance floor together. Our cameras were glued to our faces capturing so many memories ❤️
Golden Hour Milwaukee Art Musuem Senior Pictures | Julia
Julia wanted a city look for her senior pictures, and we met up near the Milwaukee Art Museum where the clean lines, creative angles, and evening lighting were the perfect combination.

Such great choices!

Jamie and Dan’s Fun + Creative Wedding Day | Dandy Vintage Furniture + Event Venue
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?!
Artistic Downtown Milwaukee Senior Session | Melania
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!
Colorful + Fun Senior Photos | Alana
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.
Artistic Golden Hour Senior Photos | Ava
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.
