We've been photographing Ali + JD since the early years of our biz, and it's been amazing staying in touch with them and photographing so many of their family milestones! We recently met up at Brewhouse Inn & Suites for their Maternity Photos, and it was fun capturing their laughs, hearing about their recent family adventures and sharing vacation stories. Can't wait to meet their new addition soon!

I loved meeting sweet little Rachel at her newborn session with her parents, Diane + Phil, and her furry sibling Charley. I joined them in their home for some snuggly photos in her nursery and in their living room, and we included some of their favorites books while even Charley enjoyed the stories. Rachel slept like a champ after getting cozied up in our swaddle, and she even gave us some smiles!

Kayla + Ben met up with me at Grant Park’s beach for their Mini Maternity session, and their outfits perfectly coordinated our surroundings! Kayla wore a stunning flowy dress for their pregnancy pictures, and she was just radiant. They brought along their ultrasound photo which was so fun to see, and we were sure to include it in a few photos! I had a great time talking with them about their peanut and upcoming babymoon.

The Breakfast Club was the vibe we were going for with some of these photos! The H Family is always game for mixing things up, whether my ideas (like The Breakfast Club or Children of the Corn which we did a few sessions ago!) or their own ideas (like them peeking their heads out from behind the wall)…

Baby Emery was such a sweet, sleepy little peanut during her newborn session! She was welcomed by her parents Christina and Zeid and her furry siblings, Boomer and Bear. The way the whole family - humans and dogs - swoons over her was just so heartwarming, and I loved capturing some of their first special memories in their home all together!

After photographing their sailboat engagement session, I just couldn’t wait for David + Lauren’s wedding, and what a fantastic day it was! Things got started at The Plaza Hotel where I photographed Lauren and some of her friends and family get ready for the big event. After a celebratory toast, we headed to their ceremony and reception venue, The Fitzgerald, where our photographer Sarah captured David and his finishing touches while I photographed Lauren getting into her stunning dress…

I met up with Susi, Brett and their daughter, Grace, to celebrate her 3rd birthday! We captured a mini session along downtown Milwaukee’s lakefront, with the iconic views of the Milwaukee Art Museum in the background. They haven’t been Wisconsinites long, but they’re already accustomed to our winters and love exploring all that the MKE area has to offer. It was great getting to know them and seeing their sweet bond!

I met up with Jason + Krystal at Riverside Park by the Urban Ecology Center for their engagement photos, and we also captured a few pictures with their adorable kiddos Aiden and Aria! They love spending time outside together, so the park’s prairie, woods and river made a perfect location for their portraits.

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…
