Let’s talk about editing and the importance of understanding your photographer’s style. I’m going to preface the following information with this statement: There is no WRONG answer here. Photographers and their editing style is as unique and personal as looking at the creative styles of artists who create pottery, watercolor paintings, or floral design. In […]

Meet Cali and Ryan! They have a summer wedding planned for Mont du Lac (which I’ve been DYING to photograph for years) but it felt anything like summer on this extra-chilly winter day for their engagement session. That’s the thing with hearty northerners, the cold and crispy doesn’t scare us. Jay Cooke State Park is […]

Let’s chat about photo editing. This is a deep-dive topic in whole, but today we’re going to start simple and discuss one of the most basic photo edits: Black and White. I’m often asked why I select certain images to process in black and white. While there are no hard and fast rules, every photographer […]

Megan REALLY wanted an autumn engagement shoot. When we got the sudden burst of winter (which is known to happen in the midwest), we switched gears a tad. Who would have thought that we would get the beautiful autumn leaves that were still clinging on for dear life, along with the crisp, bright snow? While […]

You can feel it when you are around them. When Worlds Collide Sammy and my daughter when to high school and played on the same basketball […]

Enter life And, enter Eli. Or Baby George, or simply Baby, as we like to call him often…. A quick reminder, Jon belongs to us […]

I’m sounding like a broken record here (and will continue to be for the next handful of blog entries) but our autumn colors have been nothing short of spectacular this season. It’s been my ray of sunshine though this crazy time and I’ve been so grateful to have this amazing backdrop for my couples, including […]

Not to sound like a broken record here, but as with most of my 2020 weddings, Kalynn and Connor’s wedding day looked a bit different than they originally planned when we first met a year and a half ago. Their original plans included a swanky wedding at Northland Country Club to include all their friends […]
