Evan wanted his senior photos to include one of his passions...mountain biking. Of course I was all in because I want a senior's photos to uniquely show who they are right now! Plus, I'm always up for trying something new! Then he showed up at the park with his grandpa's truck...are you kidding me?!? His mom said "I hope you have as much fun as he is having." and I replied "I hope HE has as much fun as I am having!!"

One of my favorite things about senior sessions is getting to walk and talk with these incredible kids and getting to hear their dreams, their plans, and sometimes even their fears. I am so blessed, and so honored to be asked to share this experience. I can't wait to see what this year holds for Evan, andI know he's got a very bright future!

Summer is a fun time for a photographer, but yesterday was a little extra special. We had a Balloon Glow right in Waukesha, so of course I had to go! It was a free event, fairly easy to get to, and so the crowds were large. Despite the large crowds, I was able to get some great vantage points for some great shots!

I have a few comments on future improvements (ahem...more bathrooms!), but the biggest is that it would have been great for them to coordinate one full glow. I waited patiently for that and it never came. The most I caught at once was 3. But, still a fun evening, at least for many photographers who were there!

Last week was a crazy week of photography...4 shoots in 3 days! I'm still editing my way through but I completed another theater gallery this morning. SummerStage of Delafield is currently presenting Becky's New Car, running now through September 5. This particular night was a little extra exciting, with a tornado warning that hit the moment I pulled into a parking spot at Lapham Peak State Park. So I opted to shelter in place in the hallway of a mostly glass building, over my car or the green room of the stage (sometimes choices are not ideal!). Thankfully, after 45 min, the sky mostly cleared and eventually gave us a SPECTACULAR sunset, which I couldn't help but capture during the run!

Get your tickets to the show for 2 more weekends. It's a show about choices we make, sometimes good and sometimes not, and the challenges we create in doing so. Probably not a show I'd take a kiddo to, but well done for adults. https://summerstageofdelafield.org/

I'm currently booking productions for the 2026-27 season! If you'd like production photos of a show you are doing, or your child is in, please reach out for availability and pricing!

It's been a busy week! Here are a few photos of Becky's New Car, currently running at SummerStage of Delafield, which I took on Tuesday night...you know, the night we had another tornado warning. This one specifically mentioned "Lapham Peak State Park", where I had just exited my car with all my equipment. 🫣 Thankfully, I hung out in the Lapham Lodge hallway for 45 min with a very nice lady, no tornado formed near us, and I was then able to head down and get photos just a little late. But then God gave us a GORGEOUS sunset to add to a few of the shots, so that was fun!

If you go, do yourself a favor: bring a fun meal, chairs and bug spray. You'll thank me for that tip!

SNEAK PEEK! What do you do when you get asked to take the senior photos of THREE amazing theater women...in the theater?? Um...you say YES, pack a lot of gear, and then have a blast!

I got to spend a good chunk of with these 3 beautiful women. I had never met 2 of them, but immediately you could see their personalities come to life. Even in the same space, with the same lighting, you can see how their photos are uniquely their own. This day was filled with fun, laughter, good friends, good music, and excitement for this final year of high school. Can you guess what show they are in next? I can't wait to be in the audience!

My last senior spotlight for the 2026 seniors, before I jump into my first week of photographing the 2027 seniors...

Lucas has been in front of my camera for quite a few things...theater, rock climbing, dance and more! He has presented me with some amazing chances to up my skills for capturing fast action...he is always flipping, jumping and climbing...often when I am not expecting it! When his feet are firmly planted on the ground, he is one of the most gentle and kind guys you will ever meet! My goal at his session was to capture him in his true state, AND to get a real smile. I feel like I succeeded in both!

I have no doubt I will see you again on another stage, on another climbing wall, or one of the many other places you excel! Can't wait to see what this next chapter holds for you!!

Last week my family had the chance to attend a summer event we've never been to before - Starry Nights at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts. The show was a musical theater r***e with some members of Skylight Music Theatre (with a short pre-concert show by the Milwaukee Ballet). I mean musical theater, with some of Milwaukee's top talent, outside, on a gorgeous summer night, and it's free...um, YES! The whole musical theater family wanted to go! And it did not disappoint. I hope to see each of these amazing performers on stage this season, and we look forward to more of these outdoor concerts next summer!

Sometimes I think we forget what a gift it is to have access to some amazing arts groups, many of them low-cost, and how great these events are for developing a love of the performing arts in our kids!

Senior Spotlight

As I am getting 2027 senior session on the calendar, I want to take one more chance to shout out to my amazing 2026 seniors!

Ryan has been in front of my camera in various settings for several years now...mostly Behind the Scenes in theater. He is funny, kind, quiet around us adults, but luckily I've been able to be a fly on the wall at rehearsals, so I know with his friends he is a caring and easy going. I've seen him be super sweet with his younger and older siblings. It's been fun to watch him put everything into a role and grow in his craft, and as a person. I will miss seeing that every week! But I am confident that I will see him on stage again, and maybe even at rehearsals in new endeavors! Keep working hard Ryan! I can wait to see what you do next!

If you have a senior who wants photos that showcase who they are at this moment in time, reach out! I'd love to help!
