Gel and Ben had their first date in Oshkosh, WI. Ben was living in Minnesota, and Gel was here in Milwaukee, so they found this incredible spot (M Shettle Sales) to meet in the middle. We went back there for their engagement session and had an incredible time amongst mythical creatures, old beautiful barns, giant glass prisms and antique circus cars. Come along for the journey below!
“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
― Margaret Atwood
The weight of the world has been cumbersome and messy during these challenging times. it’s important to breathe, connect with nature, and ground ourselves. When we do this, we can continue to fight the good fight, and keep moving forward through the challenges ahead of us.
For me, water has always been a place of renewal and restoration. So what better way to spend an evening than to play in the magic of our lovely Lake Michigan to wash away some of the anxiety and stress. Here are some of my favorite images from Cora’s water session. I hope you love!
Getting to work with Sarina was not work to say the least. It was such a magical and inspiring session. We got together to create some beautiful new images for her yoga business. (Hello to all my lovely yogis! If you haven’t ever taken a class with her- do yourself a favor and go for it! Link to her website below)!
We incorporated the elements of earth, fire, air and water within this session. I wanted to share some of this magic we experienced in the images below. So please enjoy!

Whenever I do an engagement session, it’s important to me that not only do my client’s photos turn out looking AMAZE, but that we have fun and do things that are important or special to each individual couple. Because you can’t get genuine happiness in a photo if it’s not there in real life. So for Carly and Aaron, we went to a fav hiking spot, The Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, followed by a beer from Lakefront Brewery, and then did a quick little dance sesh on the walking bridge, bc that bridge is a jam! Here are some of my fav moments from Carly + Aaron’s engagement session.
Joe and Dana had an intimate wedding surrounded by friends and family at one of Milwaukee’s most rad wedding venues, Dandy. Check out some of my favorite highlights from their day! (god I love a good vintage vibe)!
