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. I’ve been so honored to document their love story and now their next big life moment. Kate and Derek are going to be welcoming a little one […]

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”.
