Black Wolf Run Kohler WI | Milwaukee WI Photographer | Courtney and Derrick Maternity Photos

In October I met Courtney and Derrick at the Black Wolf Run Golf Course in Kohler WI for their maternity session. After walking around a few minutes I asked if they had a name for their baby yet. They're keep the name a secret, but since we just meet and we all decided it was probably safe to say the name.. they said.. "Well since we don't have any common friends, who would you tell !?!".. so I now know baby's name :) About 2 minutes later we realized that we actually have a lot of mutual friends!  #smalltownproblems :)

About a week before my trip to Omaha Nebraska to reconnect with some high school friends and photograph their families. I decided...at midnight (no joke!) that while I was there I'd like to photograph a styled session. I would love to start booking a couple weddings a year in different states, new venues. I quickly connected with Basic Bash Events Wedding Coordinators and Ready or Knot Omaha Bridal Shop.

Lauren & Joe | Engagement

Yesterday I met Lauren and Joe... Lauren totally made my fashionista heart happy when she wore one of my dresses! Those of you reading this and not clients of mine should know.. I... 1. ALWAYS bring or offer some article of clothing or accessory of my own for almost every session...2. You will probably hear me say " Okay I think we're done, no wait let's try this!! " a THOUSAND times each session...and I did both last night!  I'm so happy to be apart of their wedding day and can't for Oct 3rd.

Florida Click N Chat with Julie Paisley

Last week I traveled to Panama City Beach Florida to take part in a Julie Paisley Photography click n chat and enjoy some sun/beach with my sisters for our first girl getaway. I tried a lot of new things and learned a lot about myself expanding my horizons. Here's my favorites from the click n chat! Next month I travel to Nashville to meet Julie Paisley but this time to learn about shooting film and becoming a hybrid shooter. I love being able to travel and meet all these wondering people. 

Vendor love...

Erin & David for modeling for us and allowing the group to your family home for this session.

Julie Paisley Photography for being wonderful and making this experience so fun!

Thank you Panache Tent and Event for the GORGEOUS Bouquet.

Tuxedo Source was also very happy to provide David's Tuxedo for the photo shoot.
