This little guy is almost 5 months old!
I love taking a relaxed and chill approach to photographing little kiddos because they’re just so naturally silly, sweet, and spontaneous!
I can’t help but smile when I look at these photos, and I hope they brighten your day, too!
Simplicity. Moments. Wedding Days.
It was a crisp September day in New Berlin, Wisconsin.
Angela and Ian’s met at their High school in science class. I guess the chemistry was right.
They fell in love, got engaged, and had one of the most stress-free unique weddings I have had the privilege of documenting.
I love it when my couples are able to relax and enjoy their day. I love it when all of the details come together and nothing else matters and you can simply be present. Enjoy a few of my favorites from their Navy and Gold inspired wedding at the Tuscan Hall Banquet Center. If you’ve never heard of Tuscan Hall before, you should give it’s considered the hidden gem of Waukesha :)
My oh my, family is a wild and wonderful thing. To see little ones grow and change, and walk and talk. What a gift. Does it ever baffle you that God gives us so many blessings to document and capture? Whenever I look back on my childhood, I know it was imaginative and full of adventures, but I can’t remember it. There are only a few photos of me as a little girl, usually playing outside or chasing butterflies. It’s really special to give back these moments that would’ve otherwise been missed.
Life is sweet, full of twists and turns, pain and celebration. It’s full of moments that draw us closer to Jesus. I’m grateful.
Sometimes the people I’m photographing are so extraordinarily cute I can’t even look at their photos because it’s like a sweetness overload. That’s what happens when I photograph Lindsay and Thomas. I photographed their dreamy wedding back in 2016 and it was stunning, and beautiful, and all of the positive adjectives in the English language. So when their two-year anniversary rolled around and Lindsay contacted me to capture this sweet session, I was like, “SIGN ME UP!”. Anniversary photos aren’t something I typically break out my camera for, but any excuse to hang out with these two is fine by me. Plus, I’m not usually the first to know anything, so the surprise announcement in this blog post melts my heart <3.
These are just a FEW of my favorites. Enjoy!
Most of my sessions this year have been cloudy or rainy (or cloudy AND rainy). Which makes me slightly sad because if you know me, you know that I love sunshine and color. Thankfully, when I met the Dietz family at frame park in Waukesha, it was one of those rare Saturday afternoons where the sun was shining the trees were a vibrant mix of orange and yellow. I was so excited to photograph the Dietz Family because although I primarily photograph high school seniors and weddings, I’ve been leaning more and more towards family photography over the years. I love childhood, connection, and imagination—having these sweet sisters and their mom and dad in front of my camera was one of my favorite things.

Danielle is currently a senior at Nathan Hale high school. Danielle likes being creative and hanging out with her family and friends; she is also interested in possibly starting her own photography business one day (how cool is that?).
We met up at Retzer Nature Center in Waukesha to snap some quick senior photos, just in time for her school’s yearbook deadline! Danielle was very easygoing and was up for anything! It was a chilly day and there wasn’t much sunshine (bummer!) but nevertheless, we made the most of the dreary November atmosphere and had a lovely time chatting and taking photos!
Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from her session!

October senior sessions are my new favorite.
It was a stereotypical Autumn day complete with cloudy weather, a crisp fall breeze, and vibrant shades of orange and red.
One of the things I like most about photography is meeting new people and hearing their stories! Kathy and I instantly hit it off and had a wonderful time chatting it up while snapping photos last week Friday! Kathy and I were basically wearing the same outfit when we met (which was so serendipitous), and we both have a quirky obsession with shopping at Goodwill, hiking, art, Anthropology, and the west coast (mountains & saltwater, anyone?).
