This wedding was the most perfect way to wrap up my 2019 season – or any season for that matter. Emily + Dustin married at Sugarland Barn in Arena, Wisconsin on a crisp October afternoon. The kind of afternoon that warranted guests mingling over hot apple cider + cozy blankets pre-ceremony. The kind of wedding […]

Classic. Timeless. Joyful. The three words I use to describe Samantha + Andrew’s waterfront wedding at The Waters. Their day was radiant and full of love from the first minute to the last. Every detail was intentional and all of the pieces fell together seamlessly – including the warm sunshine and cool breeze off the […]

Creative Brand Photography. “I’m a brand photographer”.  *insert crickets here* I GET IT. Today I’m breaking it all for you so you can walk away with a better understanding of what it is I do, who I serve, and how I serve them (or YOU). Let’s dive right on in! What is ‘brand photography’?  Creative brand photography is […]

Northern Haus – you’ve likely heard about this buzzing new venue (and for good reason)! Nestled into the heart of Door County, Northern Haus is set on 30 acres and is a wonderfully neutral, but well-designed canvas. This past season I made my way to Door County to meet the owners/dreamers, Sara + Nick, and […]

Meet Emma: a talented (now East Coast) photographer. Also a plant mom with a deep-rooted love for baking + poetry. During our session consult, we talked a lot about which of these pieces of Emma she’d like to highlight. Ultimately, it was the latter. So often, business owners focus on the image of their business […]

Dani Stephenson Associate Wedding THIS WEDDING – worth coming out of my blogging hibernation for! It was a day filled with thoughtful details and a stunning venue behind it all, but what was most incredible was the friends and family that rallied together to be a part of Karyn + Devin’s big day. I’m talking […]

Last November, I headed back to the Enchanted Barn for what would be (unexpectedly) a magical, winter wedding. The unexpected blizzard took us by surprise, but was wholeheartedly embraced. From start to finish this Maggie + Jeremy’s wedding day was pure MAGIC. You can read more about this day in the recent Fall/Winter issue of […]

I’ve said it before – and I’ll say it again. I love being on the water. When we’re able to marry a portrait session with anything involving Lake Superior, magic always seems to follow! We started at a beautiful park in Ashland and made our way to a local marina (cue the magic HERE). A […]

What better way to kick off my wedding season than with these two and this beautiful day! Stefanie and Chris crafted a laid-back, yet beautifully detailed day that reflected who they are as a couple. The Woodfire Lodge served as the perfect setting for s’more roasting, mingling with guests as the sun dropped behind the […]

I am always up for a bit of travel and heading to new locations for weddings and portrait sessions! When Craig and Kayleigh suggested Sand Valley Golf Resort for their recent engagement session – it was a total no-brainer. Look at this place! We spent our session wandering the property deciding whether it felt like we were in the […]

There’s something so special to me about meeting my couples and getting to hang out a bit before the big day rolls around. It’s even better when I get to meet them in their own city or favorite spot. Last weekend, I made my way to St. Paul to meet up with Valarie and Tanner at […]

Let’s be honest – the second that ring lands on your finger, the sheer number of ideas and decisions that start to swirl through your mind can be straight up overwhelming. I’m talking about that Pinterest board with 2,312 pins, the opinions from (fill-in-the-blank), and the ideas that you’ve carried since you were 14 and […]
