"We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun."

Having Cate in front of my lens for her senior session was such an awesome full-circle moment! 📸✨

I’ve had the honor of knowing her family for the past 8 years and photographing all of her siblings. They’ve made such a massive impact on my photography and style! Always jumping on board with whatever crazy idea I threw at them. Underwater shoots, freezing snowstorms, frozen rivers, flour powder thrown in faces... you name it, they were down for it.

A huge thanks to Sarah, Allen, and her grandparents for always being available to help make these wild concepts come to life over the years!

Just like her older sister Sophie, Cate is an incredible dancer. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how the little red-haired girl who was doing backflips in the background during her sisters' sessions 8 years ago is officially a high school senior!

So hyped to officially introduce the newest member of the , Lillabeth! 📸⚡

We finally got our schedules aligned to connect and shoot in Eau Claire, and she absolutely crushed this urban garage set. The raw concrete, yellow parking lines, and her casual streetwear look made every shot hit effortlessly.

"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet."
​Right on time for ! 🌸✨
​A double ear infection and a sinus block almost put me out for the count after Bailee’s Friday session, but thanks to copious amounts of moxi & redbull, I’m back in action and got her sneak peeks finished right on schedule! 😅🩺

​Bailee absolutely crushed every single scene! From glowing in the flower fields, to stepping right into the water, to bringing full editorial glam against those massive stone pillars. The light was absolute magic.

"After the rain comes the sun."

Rain held out just in time for Amelia’s senior session! 🌧️➡️☀️

The post-storm sky gave us the dreamiest light as we explored the best of the Chippewa Valley, from urban streets, to wading in the water, to a stunning flower field sunset. Amelia absolutely brought the magic to every single location!

"Details matter, it's worth waiting to get it right."

senior Bailee’s session yesterday was pure magic! 🌸✨🌿

got cut a little short today thanks to a crazy schedule, but I couldn't wait to share how incredible this light was.

Also, a fun quick detail: every single image in my gallery is packed with insanely high resolution. Swipe to check out those extreme crops: ai could never generate real world detail like this (or count the correct number of fingers while doing it 😜).

"Attitude is everything."

Always a blast having past seniors back in the studio! 📸⚡

I spent this whole set flat on my back on the studio floor, but getting that ultra-wide perspective was worth the back pain. We dropped a spotlight gobo behind Megan, angled up, and let the lens distortion turn her high-fashion poses into absolute magic.

"Appreciate everything before moments turn into memories."

When your past client calls you up needing to update her modeling digitals, you make it happen, even if it calls for full tropical beach vibes in the middle of the Midwest! 🏖️🌽🌴

Who’d have thunk a sandy pit in Wisconsin could double as Oahu? Emma showed up, brought total pro-level energy, and convinced the camera we were lounging on the Pacific instead of dodging mosquitoes.

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine."

Selah’s downtown San Antonio session gave us the absolute most beautiful light! 🌸🏙️✨

Her soft pink lace top paired with the denim skirt was the perfect look for framing against the historic tiled steps and Spanish archways around the amphitheater. The gentle directional glow wrapped every pose in effortless warmth, making her whole gallery pop.

Check out a few favorite highlights from her set! 📸💖

"Geometry is the language of design."

Throwing it back to this incredible San Antonio session with Ally! 🏙️🔥

We hunted down some unique spots around the city to play with strong leading lines, urban depth, and sharp architectural angles. Ally brought effortless versatility to every setup, switching seamlessly from streetwear cool in camo to high-end glam in a formal dress.

"Lines are the foundation of all dance, but expression gives them life."

Escaping the Central Texas summer heat for a cool, bright downtown studio session with DCSA dancer Gigi was a total dream! 🩰✨🏛️

Gigi’s flawless technique and stunning ballet lines are a direct result of the world-class training at the , led by artistic director Vanessa Bessler and her exceptional team. Every extension, turn, and pose she hit was textbook perfection.

Huge shoutout to her mom, Jenna, for being so awesome and helpful throughout the entire shoot! We couldn't have pulled off this gorgeous gallery without her!
