Talk about magic. Mason and Ashlea absolutely rocked their engagement session. It started out cloudy, but just in time for golden hour the sun came out. And boy did the sky decide to show off then. It was a little chilly. A little windy. The trees were still greener than we expected. But I don’t […]

Buddy and Julia drove down from the Twin Cities for their engagement session in La Crosse. So many things I love about this session and about this couple. For the session? Well for one, it was the perfect fall evening. We found a really pretty colorful patch of trees (even if everywhere else in the […]

Jadyn wanted their session to feel like them. She went with denim and matching black t-shirts because it just reflected their style. They love to be outdoors – hunting, camping, fishing. Jadyn and Jacob packed a picnic to incorporate as well which I loved.

From a sparkling gown to sparkly shoes, Kelsy was GLOWING. Her dress from the Bridal Boutique in Platteville was perfect. And Chase cleaned up pretty nice too – from hunting and fishing to a navy tie and suit. He and Kelsy make a great team.

What makes the best photo location? I think this will vary depending on your photographer. Take the same couple, same location, same time of day, but change the photographer? Your photos will be completely different! One of my favorite backgrounds for photos is so simple. A big open grassy field, and a gravel road. I […]

Damian and Leigh’s engagement session was absolutely perfect. We had the perfect summer evening. A soft breeze caught the natural wild grasses and flowers in La Crosse’s Blufflands just enough. The evening sun peeked through the tall pine trees. The clouds put on a show towards the end of our time. Leigh’s bow, nails, and […]

Molly and Cory. A sweet mixture of intimacy and sarcasm. Fun and love. High School sweethearts. I could tell just from that hour of hanging out together that these two are ready. They know each other so well. They’ve grown into adults together. And complete each other. They started dating when they were 15, Evan […]

What a beautiful wedding to end my 2023 Spring/Summer Wedding season. I’ve known Jedidiah and Emily since they were young and so seeing them fall in love, and getting to capture it on camera was so special. These two have been so intentional throughout their romance. Prioritizing spending time together. Praying together. Choosing to honor […]

These two wanted their wedding weekend to be filled with fun for everyone. And a roadtrip to the Wisconsin Peninsula was the perfect way to start it out. They started their weekend with a fishing charter trip onto the lake with their officiant and friends and family. They not only got to watch the sun rise, but also had great luck with their catch. Nathan and Bri’s family made sure I got to have a great weekend also.

The lake, the country vibe, the beautiful northern feel. The emotions. The surprise first look with Chase’s daughters. The touching first look with Danielle. The reception filled with their engagement photos. The way everyone treated us like we were part of the family. The soft, neutral colors. The song Chase (a musician) recorded for Danielle to walk down the aisle too. The fact that I got to spend the whole day with my sister as an assistant so I could take both photos and video. The laughter and fun from the whole bridal party. The way Danielle and Chase would be naturally holding hands throughout the day. How excited they were to finally be husband and wife. Gosh, I could just go on and on.
