Congratulations to Jen & Sam on their recent wedding! 🎉 I had the absolute joy of photographing their post-wedding portraits at a stunning woodsy spot in Franklin, Wisconsin, known as The Conservancy. This beautiful, peaceful location provided a perfect backdrop for capturing the essence of nature and the joy shared between this couple and family.

The F Family was all in town, and I was excited to meet and photograph them! They had previously tried for family photos in Florida, but the heat and humidity didn’t cooperate. For their Take Two, our initial plan was to get some new beach photos in MKE, but while they were here we had seemingly record-breaking heat! Fortunately, we were able to coordinate switching things over to the studio where we all got a break from the sun but still got a bit of a nature-y vibe with all the plants. 🪴 They’re such a sweet bunch, and we had a great session! We were sure to capture different combinations - the full family together, cousins, siblings, smaller family units, etc. - and all without overheating 😉

Wow, this past year flew by! It feels like just yesterday we were capturing Nora’s newborn photos in their backyard. It was such a joy to reunite with the W Family for Nora’s first birthday photos and some precious family portraits. As a Milwaukee area family photographer, we love capturing moments like these so you can reminisce about the beauty and significance of family connections through the years.

When you envision the perfect wedding day… 🥹 That's exactly what McKayla and Chris experienced at their stunning Milwaukee-area wedding at The Atrium in Shorewood. This beautiful event filled our hearts with joy, and these two just make us smile!

Lauren and Zach decided it was time for their first professional photos together, and we were thrilled to capture their love along with their dog, Phoebe, in a Milwaukee couple's photography session. Their second date - four years ago - was at Grant Park (Zach had just adopted Phoebe a few months prior), and they took the adorable pup to the beach together. It was so sweet capturing their portraits at the same meaningful place!

Surprise proposals are always a thrill for us, and David’s plan for Samantha was nothing short of magical. He reached out to us with a vision to propose at McKinley Breakwater, under the guise of a romantic walk together. Adam, our skilled photographer, expertly disguised himself among the scenery, pretending to capture scenic shots of Lake Michigan while discreetly documenting every heartfelt moment as it unfolded.

The museum's iconic architecture and views of Lake Michigan set the stage perfectly for Dan + Michelle’s engagement session. We chased the golden hour hues as the sun dipped behind the city skyline, capturing intimate moments that truly reflected their love and excitement for their upcoming wedding at The Domes in January. They also brought along their Bucks jerseys to give a shout out to their favorite team! 🏀

Recently, we had the pleasure of photographing baby Jamie, the new addition to Megs + Dyson's family. Having previously captured their anniversary portraits, it was heartwarming to be part of another milestone for them. Our session took place at Grant Park in South Milwaukee, where the serene Seven Bridges trail provided a stunning natural backdrop.

When you’re a competitive figure skater for Team USA, you get some iconic senior pictures! 🇺🇸

Miranda photographed Melania’s senior pictures last year, and Melania recently met up again - with Adam this time - for some additional photos to capture such a big part of her life: figure skating!

I had a wonderful time capturing the love and laughter of the T Family during golden hour at Boerner Botanical Gardens. 🌅 From full family portraits to precious moments with siblings Josie, Maddie, and Alex, and sweet couple’s photos of Nicole and Mike, every moment was filled with joy and beauty.

These sweet faces might look familiar since we’ve had the honor of photographing many of life’s milestones since their 2011 wedding (and their engagement session before that!). We can’t say how much it means to have documented so much love between them for over a decade. It’s always wonderful seeing them and catching up, and this time around meeting their new addition Zosia.

Elle + Conor are getting married next year in Cabo! I was excited to photograph their engagement session here in Milwaukee where they met. ✨ The two of them love spending time in bookstores together, and their proposal also included a secret message in a romance novel.

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.
