Damian and Megan chose to have their engagement photos taken on Megan’s Grandma’s farm. What makes it so special is not only all the good times these two have shared there, but also the fact that in less than one year, this is where they will say “I do” in the presence of their family […]

Damian and Megan’s Fall Engagement Photos on the Farm

I think it is so sweet how things have come full circle. They met as a groomsman and bridesmaid in a wedding a few years ago. It must have been love at first sight because they hit it off at the wedding and haven’t stopped thinking about each other since. Now, in just a few short months they will stand up together again. But this time as Husband and Wife.

Turner and Erica’s Second Nature at Readscreek Engagement Session

We couldn’t have timed this session better to get beautiful spring blossoms for Cole and Treena’s engagement photos. We started near Boscobel, Wisconsin and ended at Treena’s Grandma’s farm. Her Grandpa chauffeured us around when the light was starting to slip away a little too quickly. Springtime this year has been full of rainy nights and muddy days. But, our evening together was beautiful. Not too hot, not too cold, a slight breeze whispering through the apple blossoms. Sunshine peeking through the branches. And God painted his artwork on the evening sky for some sweet sunset photos in the hayfield.

Cole and Treena’s Wisconsin Spring Engagement Photos

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 […]

Mason and Ashlea’s Engagement Photos in La Crosse Wisconsin

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.

Jacob and Jadyn’s Mississippi River Engagement Session

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 […]

Shawn and Lindsey’s Wisconsin Fall Engagement Pictures

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 […]

Damian and Leigh’s Engagement Session in the Wisconsin Blufflands

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 […]

Cory and Molly’s Engagement Photos by the Mississippi River in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin

Talking to Jordan and Madison about their wedding day has me already excited for next year! There will be no shortage of fun and laughter; of that I am sure. These two know how to have a good time. As Madison’s mom will say, “Eat, Drink and be Merry”. Or in this case, Married 😉

Jordan and Madison’s May Engagement Session in La Crosse, Wisconsin

Nathan and Brianna were such a dream to photograph. They were so easy going. When you’re having professional photos taken, it can be easy to feel nervous and stiff. But, take notes from these two and just relax, lean into each other, laugh a lot, and truly spend this time enjoying the presence of your partner.
