The last photoshoot I did at Thomas Mueller with sweet Rosie 💔🐺🙏🏻 I have photographed SOO many sessions with the wolves and Rosie usually only makes it in a couple shots because she loves to chill and sit back as the boys fight for attention, for some reason during this last session she made her appearance much more known than usual and now that’s more meaningful than ever to have her in soo many shots with her unexpected passing 🥹

Rosie, sweet sweet Rosie. I know I use the word sweet to describe a lot of people and pets because somehow I truly do get the sweetest here…..but if I could pick one thing, person, etc to describe the word sweet it would be her. She unexpectedly starting having multiple seizures the other night and although Tom was able to get the vet over to administer medicine to stop the seizures temporarily she ended up passing away :/ Loss is soo difficult, unexpected loss even harder, and when you feel it’s not their time to go it stings. She has made a mark on soo many people including me. I have done countless portrait sessions with the wolves and during our last session I randomly captured this photo of her solo which now holds soo much meaning. We were giggling about how smart she is always staying out of the wolf drama and staying out of the rough housing and always just laid back and being the little sweetheart that she is. She was hands down the most gentle, loving, sweet soul that changed the hearts and minds of many. You will be soo missed Rosie 🐺💔

I have absolutely been loving that every single one of my bride and grooms from last year has done some type of photoshoot with me this year whether it be maternity, family or a couples session it is always such a blessing to see my couples back again. I helped a lot with styling this session and it came together soo beautifully. 😍 It was one of the hottest fall days with not a drop of wind in the air and we were all sweating. Extended families can be tough, lots of outfits, lots of people, lots of dynamics… but the reward truly pays off because they really are soo incredibly special! 🥹 Angie Servin Abby Servin Savana Morey Danielle Haight

Now tell me are you jumping straight into Christmas or do you wait until after Thanksgiving? I’m kind of feeling the holiday spirit early this year especially after all of my reindeer sessions!

I have been photographing this family for years every single year and Cindy told me that this may be the last year that they do photos yearly because the kiddos are getting older and that she will miss seeing me every year which just broke my heart! I see this a lot with families as kids start to get older photoshoots taper down a little bit and are not done as often and it really got me thinking… I know that you may think that photos are more important when kids are little but I honestly sometimes think they are even more important as the kiddos grow. You typically are spending less time with your older kiddos due to them being in extra curricular activities and being with friends. These photoshoots are a moment to truly look at your kiddo in the eyes, be still with your kiddos, interact with them, and make memories together that may be more few and far between as they get older. Time is fleeting and these moments you can never get back 🥹❤️

This was my first time meeting the Wadel Family and they were soo photogenic and I loved their session, they are such a beautiful family! Turns out they do not live very far from me either! 🍁🍂 I have been loving meeting some new faces this fall aside from a lot of you who have been with me for years who I always cherish! It’s been a fun mix! :)

I met this family for the first time and they were just sooo sweet! I can’t get over how many amazing kind souls walk my way and I am feeling extra grateful for all of you as I edit all of my fall sessions! They brought their Brewers hats for a few shots because they are big Brewers fans and love going to the games together and I just love when people bring something that incorporates who they are… Also, how are my Brewers fans feeling today???? 🧢⚾️💛💙

I absolutely love when my seniors want to personalize their session with things that they are passionate about as it really showcases who they are. Tyler loves hunting, fishing and the outdoors and he also restored his jeep which is super neat! I brought some attachments for my lenses to play around with unique artsy features like turning headlights into stars to really tell the story. We also shot a lot of these at dusk which really helped bring in a certain mood and feel and I just love how you can feel his kind, gentle, laid back personality through these! I photographed Tyler’s 2 older sisters when they were seniors and he is the youngest so it’s always bittersweet when I see the youngest sibling for senior photos because I just love photographing my past seniors siblings! Enjoy your senior year!!!
