Green Bay Engagement Photographer | Kristen and Bobby It was just before our polar vortex. With Kristen and Bobby’s wedding soon approaching in the earliest part of summer, we didn’t want to waste any time. This was…surprisingly, going to the the warmest weekend we could complete their engagement session. And warm was not exactly the […]

Milwaukee Wedding Photographer Subtract college and some military deployment years, I’ve lived in Wisconsin my entire life. Milwaukee was the city I first got a job out of college. It was the largest city I’d ever lived in. Milwaukee was perfect! A quick jog home or to Chicago. Milwaukee was right in the middle. As […]

Lifestyle Photographer | The Eve of Growth This family of four became a family of five no more than 24 hours after this photo was taken. I love a good lifestyle session at home. It allows you to be comfortable in your own space and be around those you love. What better way to hold […]

Milwaukee Maternity Photographer | Kate and Derek One of my favorite things as a wedding photographer, is being able to document my couples long after the wedding day.

Milwaukee Engagement Photographer | Elena and Jesse From a surprise proposal to their engagement session. I’m so glad that we got a chance to visit the very place Elena said “Yes”.

Lightroom 101: Tone Curve with Colleen Bies Photography (transcription below) Hello, and welcome back. So, we’re gonna jump right in, and if you watched the other video you’ve just learned about the basics panel. Right now, we’re going into the turn curve panel. So, for me, I think that this tone curve panel is probably […]

Appleton Winter Engagement Session | Jacie and Phil Firstly, I LOVE Jacie and Phil. When I first met them, we had coffee together just above Tempest at Menlo Park. Phil did a lot of talking and Jacie seemed (at the time) a little more quiet. BUT…when it came to the engagement session, I absolutely loved […]
