Milwaukee Nine-Month Baby Photos | Harrison David

This past week, I loved capturing Harrison David’s nine-month milestone session! During our time together, I was able to witness a few of his new skills…army crawling and pulling himself up on furniture. By the next time Grace Creatives photographs this little guy I am sure he’ll be taking some of his first steps and perhaps even a little bit more difficult to…

2020 Tree Farm Minis Recap

Grace Creatives had a full schedule lined up for this year’s tree farm mini sessions! In addition to documenting all of the families, I loved capturing an exciting pregnancy announcement and engagement session. Compared to last year’s holiday minis, there wasn’t any snow on the ground which was a bummer. However, the weather was still decent! I was outside for 4 hours [in December…in Wisconsin]…

2020 Fall Mini Sessions Recap

Grace Creatives struck gold in the weather department for fall 2020 mini sessions!

On Sunday, it was another perfect day with a slight overcast and weather in the 70s where the sunshine popped out just at the end for…

Adventurous Family Session at Devil’s Lake State Park

Jackie (with Jwild Photography) and I have worked together on multiple projects and during several occasions. One dream that we share is to one day capture a wedding day elopement at Devil’s Lake State Park. Therefore, it is only natural that we often discuss different areas of the park that would be great for this type of session. During the safer-at-home order,…
