Hello friends!

Do you need new family photos? Are your kids growing like weeds and it’s been a hot minute? You KNOW you do.
I’ here to help you out 🫶🏻
I set aside a little time to run mini sessions this year at Aldo Leopold Nature Center in Monona, WI on September 6th!
These will run from 10:30am, until 5:45pm in the following intervals:

10:30am, 11am, 11:45am
1:45pm, 2:20pm, 3pm, 3:45pm, 4:20pm, 5pm, 5:45pm

I would LOVE to see you all that day and put some amazing pictures on your wall. Aldo Leopold is a gorgeous area I've had the privilege to photograph many weddings at and am excited about mini sessions.
I also have ONE evening spot available September 27th at 6:15pm.

Comment on the post to claim a spot, or send me a message, whichever you'd prefer.
A $40 retaining fee is due when you book, with the other $159 and tax due at your session. Though you're welcome to pay the whole session at booking as well, whichever you prefer. 🙂

I look forward to seeing you!

Can you believe it's almost the middle of August?!
Back to school is coming up quickly. Have you booked your senior portraits yet?

Mae Photographics has openings for the end of August, as well as this fall to capture your senior.
Hi, I'm Samara, and I travel all over the furthest corners of Wisconsin to photograph seniors and families so you can fill your walls with moments.

Do you have a high school senior this year? Their senior year only happens once. From the first day of school to the final chapter—senior year deserves to be remembered. Capturing the moments, personality, and memories that makes their story uniquely theirs is what we're all about.
With a quick turn around you'll be all set for yearbook no matter when your deadline falls.

So send me a message, a text, or an email and let's get your senior on my calendar. I can't wait to see what we come up with!

I'm finishing up Ashtin's gallery today and had to come back to share this gem!

Sometimes I share sneak peeks, then I go back and dig further into a gallery and I see other photos in a different way than when I saw them the first time and I fall in love all over again.
And that's exactly what happened here with these three images. In yet ANOTHER pass over to grab out more variety of images, I fell in love with these and their simple beauty and the emotions they evoke.
Everything about Isabelle's gallery is so stunning. She's so natural and gracefully beautiful in front of the camera.
