Earlier this fall, Lexie and Alex reached out to sign up for a tree farm mini session with Grace Creatives. When Lexie inquired, she let me in on a little secret…they were pregnant with their first child and wanted me to document a few pregnancy announcement photos! I felt so honored being a part of their plan. 🙂 On the day of…

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]…

Let me introduce you to Mary and Casey! They were both working for Walgreens when they met….but not at the same store. Mary was a pharmacy tech at one location and Casey was the store manager at a different one. Funnily enough, when Casey wasn’t working he drove out of his way to stop at Mary’s store location, purchase items and…

As you may remember I documented Ellie and Mike’s maternity session at the beginning of October and little miss Audrey Zayda was welcomed into the world at the end of November…just in time for Thanksgiving AND Christmas. Ellie and Mike welcomed me into their home to meet their daughter and document her newborn photos on her 10th day of life. After looking at some…

Welcome baby Dillion! This Pewaukee newborn was welcomed into the world by his mom, dad, and big brother at the beginning of November. Since everyone was in quarantine when they found out the sex of the baby, Michelle and Travis planned a really fun gender reveal and recorded it for friends and family to see. Essentially they dyed a dozen eggs (6 blues and…

Grace Creatives struck gold in the weather department for fall 2020 mini sessions! Typically during the fall, families are ready to cozy up in sweaters and long pants, but for Saturday’s minis, the weather was sunny and 80 degrees! 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…

This blog post is dedicated to another milestone update with Harrison David. Happy Six Months! This little guy was just starting to sit-up on his own during the days leading up to his six-month photos with Grace Creatives. As you might be able to tell in the photos below, he loves putting things in his mouth and is all about making noises. 🙂 The smiles…

At the beginning of October, I met up with Ellie and Mike at Fox Brook Park in Brookfield to document their fall maternity session! Although the weather was a little cool and misty, the fall colors were on full display and I loved that the park was quiet. Once their daughter arrives, they will transition from a family of…

Morgan and Leeland were married on a sunny September day and hosted their wedding celebrations at Meadowbrook Country Club in Mt Pleasant, Wisconsin. As one would expect from its name, the venue is located on a luscious green golf course! Additionally, they have a beautiful indoor ceremony space. The space has cathedral ceilings and a grand fireplace. During Morgan and Leeland’s ceremony,…

Would you believe that Shawna and Weston have known each other since middle school? They mostly dated on and off in high school. Then, after reconnecting later in life they realized it was meant to be! During the summer of 2020, they were celebrating Shawna’s birthday at their family cabin with friends. Just before everyone arrived, Weston asked Shawna to marry…

They’ve arrived! Hello world, let me introduce you to the Senner twins. If you recall, I shared Tony and Kasey’s maternity session earlier this Fall and now I get to share some of my favorite images captured during their in-home newborn session. Thank you, Tony and Kasey, for allowing me to document your sweet and tiny babes. I am so excited to see…

The other day I read an interesting perspective on black and white editing. This particular photographer said that she prefers all photos in an album/collection to be either in black and white OR color…not both. I’ve never taken the time to edit like this before, but I was super intrigued by the concept. Therefore, I chose to give it a try with…

These Wauwatosa family portraits were captured one evening near Underwood Parkway. I actually met Brad and Luisa Urban during a styled shoot at Fête of Wales during the summer of 2019 (if interested, you can check out the blog post here). Brad and Luisa are wonderful humans and a fantastic couple. It turns out I was correct to assume that their children would be…

Ashley and Adam originally planned their Sheboygan Yacht Club wedding for mid-June, but when COVID hit, they decided to postpone a few months and celebrate in August. I am sure that their original date will hold a special place in their hearts, however, they couldn’t have had a more beautiful August day on the shores of Sheboygan! Ashley and Adam chose to…

Let me introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Ehms (you may remember their engagement session)! As one can only imagine, planning a wedding in 2020 amongst a global pandemic is no small feat. Nevertheless, Stephanie and Carter handled it with grace and a sense of calmness. They knew that there would be certain areas of their…

Shannon and Cliff first met at a wedding and now they get to host one of their own! 🙂 To document this special time in their lives and engagement, Grace Creatives met up with them at Retzer Nature Center one evening to capture their engagement photos! After three years of dating, Cliff proposed to Shannon in December of 2019. It was…

I have had the honor to document Andi, Chris, and their family on several occasions. You may remember me posting about their Milwaukee East Side Maternity Session and last year’s Newborn session with Grace Creatives. Well, most recently, we met-up at a park in South Milwaukee to document their daughter’s one-year-old photos! Their daughter, Anora, is a sweet, giggly, and determined little girl! At the…

This blog post is dedicated to sharing Tony and Kasey’s maternity session at Retzer Nature Center! Would you believe me if I told you that there are TWO babies in that sweet little belly of Kasey? Well, you better believe it…cause it’s true! Tony and Kasey are expecting twins and looking forward to becoming parents in October 2020. We initially planned…
