Katelynn & Michael | Lake Geneva Engagement

Lauren & Zac : Madison Wisconsin Engagement Photographer

I talked a lot more so then I usually do. Not sure if it was nerves or if I was just comfortable. Either way, we had a lovely evening […]

Kennzi

How has it already been a year?! Kennzi was the first newborn I photographed and if I said it wasn’t difficult I would be lying. She is now a bubbly, smiley, oh so adorable one year old & I am so honored to have photographed her again. I mean really.. Who could turn down the pink […]
