It's been six years since I saw this sweet fam, and a lot has changed! Parents Autumn and Jessie, and their kids Alex, Oliver and little Ella met up with me at Grant Park's Seven Bridges, and we had a gorgeous fall day for their session! They boys were full of energy and had fun playing in the leaves and running around, while Ella was taking in all the sights and smells of her first fall season.

The G Family 🍁💛🍂 I met up with parents Javier and Melissa, and their kids Aidan and Noah at South Milwaukee's Grant Park / Seven Bridges. They coordinated their outfits fantastically, and we had such beautiful weather! It was fun getting to know them, hearing about their latest vacation, and talking about Halloween!

A little rain didn't get in our way! I loved meeting and photographing this sweet fam. The weather suddenly turned shortly before their session and sure wasn't what we expected, but they preferred not to reschedule and it worked out really well! We met up at the Marsupial Bridge, and kids Claire and Jack loved running around! We also headed over to Oak Leaf Trail and leaned into the dark skies at the end of our session with some artistic backlit photos!

Just look at all these smiles and giggles! Loved photographing the sweet M Family in MKE's Third Ward! Kids Nolan and Bennett had fun exploring the RiverWalk area, and it was cute seeing them even have their own ideas for some portraits! They also loved the snuggles and tickles from their parents, Jennifer and Tristan. What a great bunch!

Ben + Cathy had a beautiful day for their backyard wedding! They held their outdoor ceremony and reception at their home, and it was the perfect location for them to be surrounded by their children, friends and family. We just adore the love and excitement that radiates from their faces in all of their photos! 🥹

Sweet little Ruth just turned ONE! And we celebrated with some fall family portraits at Swan’s Pumpkin Farm where we also picked out our pumpkins and enjoyed cider slushies and donuts 😋 Ruth and her big sister Ella loved checking out all the pumpkins and animals! You can really feel their bond in the big smiles the two of them exchange.

Jaime contacted us a couple of months ago via our luxury dog photography brand, Buttons & Bones, to purchase a session for her boyfriend Nathan's upcoming birthday. She wanted to capture the bond he - and they - have with the beyond-adorable Skye, a sweet Australian Cattle Dog mix. He loved his gift! ... and then secretly got in touch with us to let us know that he wanted to propose during their doggie session! 🐾

When your portrait location reflects who you are 💯 Claire loves history, art and Europe, and the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum made a perfect location for her senior pictures! She's been dancing since she was a tot, so capturing her en pointe was definitely a must, and the architecture was just a stunning backdrop to showcase her love of dance.

Rana loves going on walks while listening to music, going shopping with her friends, painting and traveling, and I loved getting to know her during her lakefront senior portrait session! She plans on going to school to become a dentist, and we're excited for her as she starts this journey 😁

When weightlifting is a big part of your high school career, senior pictures in the gym are a must! We met up at Julius’ school for the first part of his extended senior session, and captured him in his element. He also likes spending time at his family's summer cabin and enjoying water sports there, skiing, working on his car, and traveling. Milwaukee's downtown lakefront was a great backdrop for the second part of his session - a nod to the time he spends on the water…

Can we just say how perfect of a day Paige and Adam had for their outdoor wedding?! These two are just so sweet with each other, and it was such a joy capturing their love in their portraits around Covered Bridge Park, as well as so many touching candid moments ❤️

Loren loves playing volleyball, making artwork, listening to music, and going to coffee shops, and it was fun talking about art together as we made our way around one of our favorite places: the Milwaukee Art Museum! Since she also enjoys architecture, it was great incorporating all the awesome lines and perspective in the area, too.

When you want city + lake vibes for your senior pictures 💯

Had a great time exploring the downtown MKE lakefront for Logan's portraits and hearing about his adventures with his friends. We incorporated some artistic angles and perspectives, bringing some extra style for unique pictures. Hope he has a fantastic senior year!

It was so much fun seeing this sweet family again! Parents, Juls + Brian, and their kids Bennett + Breckyn met up with me just before sunset on Milwaukee’s lakefront for their mini session. The rocks, water and views of downtown and the art museum gave us a lot of variety with their photos, and the kids had fun running and playing!

It was great seeing this bunch again! Parents Whitney + David and their adorable littles, Austin + Nora, coordinated their outfits perfectly: a nautical inspired color palette that worked really well with the blues and grays of the cityscape, lake and sky. We met up near Harbor House along Milwaukee’s lakefront for their family mini session. These peanuts are just full of energy and smiles, and it was fun capturing their playful personalities and all the love between this sweet family. Thank you for the honor!

Ava loves video games, painting and spending time in nature, so South Milwaukee's Grant Park made a perfect spot for senior pictures. We started on the Seven Bridges trail and then headed over to the beach where we had such lovely soft lighting 🤩 Hope senior year is the best one yet! Thanks so much for choosing us to capture your portraits ❤️

Emily loves playing sports, lifting, reading, writing poetry, cooking and organizing. We had a great time at her senior portrait session, talking about poetry as we made our way along the downtown lakefront! She plans to attend college and hopefully perform undergraduate research. We wish her all the best! ❤️

Jennifer + Eric recently got married on Mackinac Island, and shortly thereafter we had the pleasure of photographing their wedding reception at the Milwaukee Public Museum! Before heading there, we first met up at MKE's lakefront. The two of them wanted some very Milwaukee-esque portraits, and this was the perfect spot to capture their love amid the backdrop of our beautiful cityscape!

In case you didn’t hear the news… we now have a Luxury Dog Photography brand based here in Milwaukee, too: Buttons & Bones! We were thrilled when Melinda reached out for a session with her hubby Kevin and their two senior gals, and it was great connecting with her and planning their photoshoot at Greenfield Park. You can't read about these sweeties and not fall in love with them...

Lauren + David share a passion for sailing and even sail competitively, so what better place to take their engagement photos than out on the water?! They were so sweet in giving us a little tour afterward, too. Their session was such a fantastic time!
