I finally purchased a Canon mirrorless camera and it has replaced my Canon 5D Mark III as my lead camera! I did actually already own a Sony mirrorless camera for video, but wanted to stick with Canon gear for everything so I sold it and purchased the Canon EOS R. Here’s why I didn’t buy […]

After much (rather obsessive) research, I decided to purchase an older Canon model instead of the newer R5 & R6. BUT WHY? Let me tell you…it was not an easy decision. One major consideration was budget! Because the R has been out longer, I was able to purchase used. At $1400 after tax, it was […]

Covid-19, a tornado warning, and torrential rain – Heidi and Dan smiled through so many obstacles and it was an honor to capture their wedding day over the weekend! Like many couples, Heidi & Dan had to make tough decisions due to the pandemic. They chose to have a small, elopement style ceremony and portrait […]

Natalie of Sew Hungry Hippie was so fun to photograph!  First of all, her creative studio is painted purple and the walls are covered with fantastical sewing projects.  Throw in a whole lot of pink, a disco ball, and a good deal of sparkle and Natalie’s style is unapologetically bold and bright! Natalie is a sewing […]

Cortney is an event planner in Texas, but Grant’s family moved to Wisconsin and […]

Sometimes I get to photograph things that just absolutely light my creative heart up and re-inspire the passion that made me start all this in the first place, and this session was one of them! My friend Olivia, the super talented senior portrait photographer behind Olivia Leigh Productions, has horses and is basically a dream […]

I met Micah and his family over 6 years ago when Brian & I got married, moved to Madison, and joined an awesome church, Calvary Bible Fellowship. At the time, Micah’s dad was pastoring said church and we spent the next couple of years getting to know this sweet family of 6 better (Micah has […]

A beautiful sunset and gorgeous venue set the scene for Heidi & Dan’s summer engagement session last week! While they are getting married at the Paine Arts Center next summer, Heidi is the event coordinator at Milford Hills in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin.
