Guys! This family was basically my first “real” clients. I had recently graduated college and really the only people I had photographed were either friends from school, friends from church, or family friends. Everyone I had worked with thus far had been people I had met/known already. The Haeckers were the first clients I had […]

Sam and Peyton reached out to me, they had been referred from a couple I had photographed in Peoria, IL. They let me know that they were getting married in Peoria, but had recently moved to Milwaukee. They expressed that they weren’t sure how that would work out for their engagement session, not realizing that […]

This little guy wasn’t really sure if he wanted to be the center of attention. He turned back a couple of times before hitting a full send down the aisle! Just a little bit obsessed with this getaway vehicle! The details + this room = ✨MAGIC✨ Abigail and Christian, as well as their families and […]

I met Erica back in 2015 at her cousin’s wedding (I still think about how awesome Alex + Becky’s backyard tent wedding was!) where she was a bridesmaid, so of course I was thrilled to hear from her when she was looking for a wedding photographer! Okay, so this is the second time that I […]

Here are some of my favorite moments from Peter + Katelyn’s gorgeous winter wedding! Apparently Katelyn found this at a thrift store and insisted she wear it. No one was disappointed, and honestly, I’m pretty jealous. I love the stillness of these moments! <3 Guys, it was a cold day. During individual portraits the girls […]

I love getting to capture weddings of family members of former clients. So many familiar faces, some of the family already knows who I am, it’s just is a comforting feeling when it happens! I captured Dan’s sister’s wedding the year before, and was so excited to hear from Ashley around this time last year. […]

Where do I even begin?! This day was gorgeous from start to finish. Greg and Erin are such awesome, kind and generous. My morning started with Erin endlessly complimenting each of her bridesmaids, telling them how good they look. Mysi, my second shooter started her day goofing off with the groomsmen, taking silly portraits with […]
