If I had one word to describe Emma & John’s relationship, it would be ‘steady’. After moving their wedding from Milwaukee back to their hometown of Kenosha, WI while navigating all the other chaos this year has thrown at them, I am so impressed by how unshakeable this couple remained. Instead of allowing that stress […]

The unique nature of my job is not lost on me. As I was editing Randi & Kraig’s images last night, I was humbled by this thought. I have the invitation from my couples to experience their love stories first hand—a privilege to say the least. Yes—being in front of a camera & allowing that […]

I’m pretty sure Kaitlyn’s smile rarely left her face Saturday. If you did happen catch her without a beaming grin, all you had to do was look at Patrick who was sure to be wearing a smile on behalf of them both! There was so much joy from start to finish! What makes it even […]

October was packed full of engagement sessions & I treasure the time spent with so many of my 2021 couples! Want to know something funny?? Out of the last six engagement sessions, only two couples did not include their dog! And of those four that brought their four legged fur baby, only one couple actually […]

Autumn & Shawn’s engagement session almost didn’t happen! You see, Autumn’s ring had to be serviced & the day she was set to pick it up (the day before our session), she learned their was a temporary shutdown at the jeweler’s due to the pandemic. Luckily, the regional manager came through & hand delivered the […]

It is not unusual for clients to show up to sessions & tell me they are not photogenic. My response to this statement is always, “I don’t believe you,” because I honestly refuse to believe anyone simply does not photograph well. However, I have never had someone tell me they do not know how to […]

It’s not every day I get to venture away from my typical photoshoot locations to visit someone’s personal property for a session. You can equate the excitement to a field trip day in school! Cara & Tanner so graciously welcomed me to Cara’s family’s property out near Bradford, IL. Besides being a fun place for […]

It feels like just yesterday I had MacKenzie in my cabin at camp. The girls & I would stay up way too late talking about all the things (as girls do) & without fail, every year, we would always talk about their future weddings & dreams of their future spouses. Little did we know that […]

It has been a long time since I’ve worked with a couple as sweet as Mary & Martín. After just minutes of being around the two of them, it is undeniable they are each other’s treasure. During the ceremony, the priest highlighted that Mary & Martín chose this day. Despite being in the middle of a […]

  A warm September day is not what Sydney & Austin had in mind when they planned their April 4 wedding. After intimately tying the knot in Sydney’s parents’ home on their scheduled wedding date, they clung to the hope of a celebration with their friends & family. Thankfully, this sweet couple received the celebration […]
