The initial forecast for my session with The Wiskerchen Family wasn’t the brightest one. The forecast: cool temperatures and steady rain. What we actually got: a sky without a drop of rain and an incredible golden sunset that warmed everyone right up. The cool air made for the perfect reason to snuggle up for some […]

Fall is a season of change, am I right? I’ve embraced this season with a couple big changes of my own. The first? Welcoming our baby girl, Adelyn, into our world this September. I’ve fallen in love with this little girl and have learned so much in her short 7 weeks of life. Like how […]

The Jensen Family met me at one of my favorite spots in Stevens Point for fall family photos. Everything about this session was oh-so-dreamy. From the sunset to portraits of this soon-to-be-momma of three… the session was glowing from beginning to end! What really made this time with The Jensen Family special? These blonde-haired, blue-eyed […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I LOVE FALL. Every single thing about it. Getting to meeting families like the Simcakoski Family for fall sessions only makes me love it that much more. We had to reschedule due to some rainy weather the night before and am I ever glad we did. […]

The Heck Family Session marked my kickoff of my fall portrait season and it sure set the bar high! It was everything a fall session should be: a glowing sunset, falling leaves, and one amazing family (and their pups!). What didn’t we expect when choosing a session date in late September?

Excited. Ready. Nervous. Anxious. Eager. Blessed. Very, very blessed…. These were all of the emotions we were feeling two weeks ago as we waited for Adelyn to arrive. Our little lady made us wait a couple days extra but she made her entrance on September 5th bright and early at 6:18 am. How are we […]

Excited. Ready. Nervous. Anxious. Eager. Blessed. Very, very blessed. These are all the emotions I am flooded with as I sit here one day past my due date and anxiously awaiting the arrival of our baby girl. With this extra time on my hands, it’s easy to find myself reflecting on how far we’ve come […]

As I had previously shared, last summer I chose photographer, Dani Stephenson, to capture my favorite moments of my own rustic wedding. I loved every minute of the planning, that day, and how I can now endlessly relive it through the photos she gifted us. Photography has always tugged at my heartstrings and this past […]

As mother nature would have it, our original session date was graced with rain and dreary skies. Why am I not upset about that? Our rescheduled evening was filled with warm sunshine, blooming wildflowers, and the golden rays that every photographer dreams about! Holly and little Mackenzy made their way out to Lake Emily for […]

In early September, we will be welcoming a sweet baby girl into the world. I imagine her to be a beautiful and softhearted little girl who is always up for a little adventure. So it’s no surprise that I am over the moon excited when I get to spend summer afternoons with families like The […]

Meet Mackenzie. She is someone that I can relate to on so many levels (except her fashion sense is far superior, of course!). Mackenzie is a Midwest girl with a lust for travel and adventure of all sizes. I’m not talking about heading up north on the weekends or running off to spring break with […]

All too often, we believe that photos are to be taken at only at select major life milestones: graduation, marriage, the birth of a newborn, the list goes on. I am a firm believer in documenting life at every step along the way and not thinking twice about it. Ryan and Olivia recently celebrated their […]
