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 […]

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. […]
