Lindsey + John | An Intimate Wedding at Westlin Hall with a Backyard Celebration

arrow

Weddings

Lindsey and John are the sweetest. After having dated for more than 8 years, 2020 was their year to tie the knot and finally make things official. Well, COVID had something else in mind. Luckily, these two were working with the amazing team at Alliey + Co, who helped them plan an entirely new, downsized […]

Eloping on the Shores of Lake Michigan

Editorial

Wisconsin is full of natural beauty, and my favorite part of our beautiful state is the shores of Lake Michigan. How lucky are we to have such amazing bodies of water right in our backyard? The best part, in my opinion, is how the beaches make you feel like you’re on the ocean during the […]

Margaret + Tim | A Cozy, Intimate Cabin Engagement Session

Engagement

We all get sick of winter, but there’s something about being right smack dab in the middle of it, at a cabin on a lake, with a foot of fresh snow and a fire that makes it ohhh so appealing. When Margaret and Tim told me that they wanted me to capture them at one […]

The Steel Family | Indoor Family Session at the Kress Pavilion in Door County

Family

This session was the last that I did before our mandatory shelter in place order in Wisconsin, and it’s been giving me so much joy this week as I’m trapped in my house. Hayley, one of my 2020 brides, has two sisters, and all of her sisters also have all girls, so this was a […]

Nothing beats fall in Wisconsin. When summer gives way to crisp air, jeans and boots, I come alive 🙂 I was so excited to spend the day soaking in all of the fall goodness that this area has to offer with Whitney and Alex. These two are planning a gorgeous summer wedding at Woodwalk Gallery […]

Lexi + Kane | Lake Michigan Beach + Lighthouse Engagement Session

Engagement

Sometimes, photographers get in creative ruts, and that’s exactly how I was feeling this summer. Amidst weekly sessions shooting gorgeous people in beautiful places, I somehow started to feel stuck. Lexi and Kane got me out of that state of mind. This session is the epitome of what magic can happen when a couple fully […]

Kelsey + Adam | A Modern Farmhouse Wedding in the English Countryside

arrow

Weddings

When our youngest cousin, Kelsey, told us that she was going to take the year off after high school and move to England, I think it’s safe to say that we all took a collective gasp. Thousands of miles away at 18 years old… it was a daunting thought! But much to all of our […]

Engagement

It’s never lost on me that my job allows me to be surrounded by genuine love every day. Witnessing all of these sweet couples get engaged and become married is the coolest thing. Alie and Logan are the sweetest souls. They’re just SO excited to get married and aren’t worried about the details. Since they […]
