Alex + Katie had such a fun and picturesque winter wedding! The day started at Brewhouse Inn & Suites where the two of them got ready with their wedding party. Such a fun group, and I loved capturing their joy and laughter all day! Soon it was time for their romantic First Look, and then they exchanged letters with each other. Their expressions during all those sweet moments were just priceless!

It’s been an honor capturing so many milestones for this sweet couple and family, starting with Lara and Seth’s engagement photos years back! This time was our newborn session together, welcoming baby Benjamin! I met up with them at their home to capture photos of them in their element, and we were sure to get a variety of combinations from the full family to each of the siblings - Miriam, Hannah and Alexander - loving their baby brother.

Take a look back at what was an amazing year photographing weddings! Last year, our weddings took us from Milwaukee to the mountains in North Carolina, to the historic Covered Bridge Park in Cedarburg Wisconsin, to the time of the dinosaurs 😉 It was a nearly impossible task to select just some of our favorites from a year of fantastic couples, but here are some highlights to give you a little look at 2023 through our eyes…

Little Amelie made her way into the world last month in time for Christmas! I met up with her and her sweet fam at their home, and seeing her big brother Teo showering her with so much affection was just adorable. Lee and Andy are such loving, proud parents, and even the two furry family members joined in the fun. It was such an honor to capture these snuggles and some of Amelie’s first moments ❤️

You’re getting married - congratulations!!! Engagement sessions are a fun way to celebrate this exciting time and to get to know your wedding photographer! And nothing beats choosing a location that is totally you. Some popular ideas are taking photos where you met or got engaged, but there are lots of options! Here are 22 ideas for an awesome session…

A few days before their larger wedding and celebration, Kat + Maki had the best of both worlds by also eloping! They had a beautifully crisp November day with gorgeous Fall color and a light layer of snow ❄️🍁

For their larger celebration they chose the Polish Center of Wisconsin for their wedding because they loved that they could have their ceremony and reception all in one location, and the outdoor space offered beautiful scenery for their portraits!

Tamara just graduated from my alma mater, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee with her major in Industrial Engineering! She’s also been interning as an industrial engineer for a few years, and she’s excited to pursue her career post-graduation. It was fun meeting up with her at the Milwaukee Art Museum to celebrate her achievements and Mexican heritage with her graduation portraits! Her future is bright, and we send her our congrats!!!

The stunning Villa Terrace is one of those places where we could photograph every day and never grow tired of it. Add this super sweet couple to the mix, and it was magic! I met up with Ben + Katie for the first part of their engagement session here, and we had gorgeous weather for their winter photoshoot! The Villa was decked out in all their decorations, and it was fun making our way around different picturesque spots together!

Kennady wanted a combination of Milwaukee's downtown lakefront and the Third Ward for her senior portrait locations. I had a great time with her and her parents as we made our way around different spots talking about our favorite shows and Christmas traditions! Love the night vibe and twinkling lights paired with Kennady’s timeless and stylish dress ✨ After high school, Kennady plans on continuing her education and pursuing a career as a dentist…

We had the perfect almost-winter day for this maternity session! I've had the honor of photographing Lee + Andy's engagement, wedding, previous pregnancy pictures, and now the two of them with their son Teo and Lee's adorable baby bump. We met up at Grant Park's Seven Bridges and the snow highlighted all of the trees, turning everything into a wonderland.

Roxanne + Sharon said the things they love most about each other are their shared laughter, spiritual connection, supporting each other, sharing, and enjoying true love for the first time 🥹 They love gardening, kayaking, concerts, theater, travel, beaches, eating, and spending time with their dog Clifford who wants to part of all the hugs 🥰

The Milwaukee Public Museum was an awesome location for Micaela + Alex's engagement session! They love to travel, take walks, hang out with their dog Pepper, try new restaurants and read together. The museum was an exciting location for their session because it was their first time there together! It was fun capturing not only the two of them and their adorableness, but also some great memories for them ❤️

Anna + Pete got married at The Stonehouse at Silver Creek on a crisp, rainy, fall day 🍂 It was so cozy, personal, elegant and fun! After some getting-ready coverage that included some sweet pics with their dog, Jackson, they enjoyed their First Looks with each other and then their kids, Finn and Stella. They also had an unplanned First Look with their families who had arrived early for family photos. It was my first time capturing that special reaction with such a large group- I loved it!!!

Bhashmi was just *glowing* at her and her hubby Giri's maternity session! ✨ The two of them came up from Chicago for their photos with us at Riverside Park by the Urban Ecology Center and they made a little vaca out of it! It was their first time visiting Milwaukee, and it was fun hearing about their plans and how much they enjoyed their stay 😁

Lina loves traveling, reading, going to concerts and listening to her favorite band Stray Kids, and it was fun incorporating some of their merch at her senior portrait session! We photographed along Milwaukee's downtown lakefront, and we had perfect lighting and pops of color to contrast her black dress. Thanks for a fun session!

Gabe likes video games, hanging out with friends, reading, weight lifting and football, and he wanted to take his senior pictures at his high school. It made a perfect location to incorporate his love of football! It was great getting to know him and finishing his photoshoot with some dramatically lit nighttime portraits. Thanks for a fun session!

Miranda + Jacob's wedding day started at home for some getting ready coverage before heading to their church for the big event! Miranda's an artist, and it was fun incorporating her artwork in some of the photos during her preparations. She looked absolutely lovely, and before we knew it, it was time for us all to head to the church! Knowing that they both have an eye for uniqueness, I incorporated some creative reflections during their ceremony and concluded our time there with a dramatic silhouette.
