Being a portrait photographer is truly a wonderful experience!! The trust and friendships that I have built with the families and couples I work with is something that I treasure deeply. I feel so lucky to be able to capture their special moments as they grow and change over time. It's an honor to have this opportunity, and I will always hold it close to my heart.


In December, the Moore Family got in touch with me to set up a family portrait session for Kevin's family. I was super excited to help them plan this amazing gift for their in-laws. The whole gang, including the parents, five siblings, their spouses, and kids, all got together last Saturday for the photo shoot, and boy, was it magical! The light was perfect, the kids had fun, and I had such a good time getting to know everyone! As an only child, I have a particular fondness for big families! 😉


I am bursting with excitement as I share a sneak peek into their session at Moraine Hills State Park!! The love, laughter, and memories captured during this unforgettable experience are just a tiny glimpse of the lovely evening I spent with this big beautiful family! To the Becker, Janus, Moore, and Wachowiak Families, thank you for having me!! I had so much fun getting to know you all and capturing some gorgeous final images!! Now, grab some snacks and get comfy; your sneak peek is LIVE!
