There is something about fall in Wisconsin that just hits differently—especially along the lake. Jake and Catherine’s Lakeshore Park Engagement session in Milwaukee was the kind of evening that makes you slow down, take a deep breath, and fully soak it all in. Crisp air, golden leaves, the city skyline glowing in the distance, and a couple so naturally connected it felt effortless to photograph them.

Cold weather family sessions have a quieter, more peaceful feel. Fewer crowds, softer light, and kiddos naturally leaning into their parents for warmth—which creates the sweetest, most natural moments. At Retzer Nature Center, the muted tones of late fall paired beautifully with this family’s connection, even with gray skies and mist rolling in.

Jake and Catherine’s wedding day was one of those celebrations that felt both deeply meaningful and effortlessly beautiful from start to finish. Their day combined everything I love most as a photographer: a heartfelt Church Wedding, stunning end-of-summer florals at a Boerner Botanical Gardens Wedding, and a couple who truly felt like friends by the time their wedding day arrived.

Some wedding days feel like a fairytale from the moment you arrive—and Will and Sarah’s Castle Vineyard Wedding was exactly that. Tucked just down the road from Lake Michigan, Castle Vineyard feels like a hidden escape to Europe without ever leaving Wisconsin. As a Wisconsin Wedding Photographer, stepping onto this property is always a pinch-me moment, and this day was no exception.

If you’re planning Milwaukee family photos and your child is three years old, let me gently reassure you right now: it’s okay if things feel chaotic. In fact, I expect it—and I welcome it. As a Milwaukee family photographer, I work with toddlers all of the time! Family sessions with a three-year-old are rarely calm. They are full of movement, laughter, stubborn opinions, bursts of energy, and sometimes a meltdown or two. But they are also full of real connection. And that’s what matters most.

There is something truly magical about summer senior sessions—the kind where the sun is warm, the breeze is light, and the location feels like it was made just for you. Briella’s photoshoot at the Delafield Fish Hatchery was exactly that kind of magic. Bright, joyful, creative, and completely her.

Milwaukee Engagement Session: There’s something magical about photographing love stories along the shores of Lake Michigan, and Kohler-Andrae State Park is one of my absolute favorite spots to do just that. Nestled just south of Sheboygan, this gem of a park boasts rolling sand dunes, golden light, and miles of serene shoreline — the perfect backdrop for a dreamy summer engagement session.

I had the joy of photographing Jordan and Molly’s engagement session at Kohler-Andrae last summer and they will be tying the knot next month at the beautiful Oneida Country Club in Green Bay. Their chemistry was effortless, and the warm summer breeze off the lake made the whole evening feel like a scene from a romance film.

There’s something so special about watching a family grow through my lens—and this Milwaukee Family photos session with one of my longest-standing clients absolutely melted my heart.

We met for their Milwaukee family photos on a sunny evening along the Third Ward Boardwalk. If you’ve never wandered down there at golden hour, it’s pure magic. The light glows just right, the river sparkles, and the energy of the neighborhood adds a soft, urban charm that makes candid moments pop.

Oh, this one’s special. Brianna’s Lake Country senior session in Delafield was one of those perfect fall afternoons where everything just clicked. The air was warm, the trees were showing off with golden leaves, and Brianna? She brought the sunshine with her. We met at the historic Delafield Fish Hatchery building, one of my favorite hidden gems in Lake Country. Its charming stonework and vintage details give every photo a sense of timelessness—like it’s always been waiting for seniors like Brianna to step into its light.
