The Bundgaards

Another fun fall day in the park. I went to college with Bob and he is one of the funniest guys out there. His family was so fun to shoot. I was obsessed with the curls on this little girl if you couldn’t tell. There is probably more pictures of her hair than of the whole family. I just couldn’t help it. She was super spunky and quite the explorer! She found caterpillars and lady bugs, she climbed trees and even did a little dance for us! I loved so many images from this shoot. These are just a few of them. Thanks Bundgaards!

I have some engagement photo shoots coming up and i can’t wait to shoot outdoors in the winter. I hope we get a little snowfall for some of them! Stay tuned…

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas and happy new year! From my family to yours, see you in 2016!

Isabel

My first high school senior photoshoot! Isabel and I work together at the same restaurant. We went down to the Riverwalk in mid-October and went on a little adventure, snapping some photos along the way. She made my job really easy. She was a natural! I tried to make her laugh as much as I could though.  As you can see, sometimes it worked and sometimes…well, not so funny!  Thanks again Isabel, you rock!

The Turner-Carlsons

Rocks and driftwood. Skipping stones. Old trees. Big hill. Running. Twirling. Up in the air. Upside down. Holding hands. Tickling. Laughing. Connecting. Bay View. Lake Michigan. November. Unusually warm. Beautiful light. Warm hearts. xoxo

The Fishers

I spent a morning with the Fishers a little while back. I arrived as the kids were waking up, pancakes on the stove, B.J. on guitar. It was a special yet ordinary day for this family and I enjoyed capturing a morning for them in photographs. After pancakes, we headed to their back yard where I was floored by how incredible their garden was. The largest tomato plants I had ever seen! It was so much fun as we explored their magical garden and took out the instruments for a little family jamboree. This family is so sweet. Thanks again, Fishers!

The Ehley Family

The La Susa Family

I arrived at the La Susa residence to a little smiling face peeking out the front door window. Another child came running and opened the door. I immediately felt at ease after seeing the children’s smiling faces. The family was dressed perfectly for a photoshoot with coordinating summer colors, and they were open to any ideas. We planned to end up on a beach at sunset. But the clouds were rolling in and we just took a stroll around their house. They did all the work. I just tried to capture their connection. I think we got a few good ones.

The Kuhl Family

Welcome to my new blog! I will be posting more photos from my photo sessions and other photo projects in more detail here than on my Facebook page. I wanted to kick off my new blog with one of my favorite photo sessions to date. Last October I went to the Kuhl residence and photographed them in their beautiful backyard on the Milwaukee river. It was the most perfect fall sunset. They were a joy to work with and it was so obvious how much love there is here.
