Bella | NMHS Class of 2026

Bella was an absolute rockstar in her senior session yesterday! It was cold and a little bit windy, but she handled it like a pro! Gorgeous, Bella! 🩵🖤

Thank you so much to Bella and Vanessa for their patience and waiting on me to post these. Even though I finished them last night, I’ve had a pretty brutal migraine today and haven’t been able to get them up in a timely manner.

I love that Miss M’s parents get together each year for photos even though they are no longer together. ❤️ Unfortunately it’s rare to see people working together for the the well-being of their babies, and this tradition is just beautiful! This year, some of her siblings joined in on the fun! ❤️

This lady has been putting up with me for almost a year now in my classroom. Brave soul! 🤣 Unfortunately the stomach flu hit during the weekend of minis, so we were excited to get to reschedule with Mr. S & Mr. E for this morning! They are so handsome! 💙💙

The 16th has been spoken for! UPDATE: I wanted to let everyone know that I only have ONE open spot left for this fall (the afternoon of November 16), and after that I am FULLY BOOKED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. I have decided not to do Christmas minis since I had 7 people no-show for fall minis, and I honestly just need a break. I will resume bookings in March!

Thank you so much to my faithful clients who trust and believe in me year after year. It’s truly an honor to be asked to document your families as they grow and change through the years! Thank you, friends! ❤️

Matthew | NMHS Class of ‘26

This talented young man has the coolest voice, and I think his chosen future in communications is just perfect for him! I can’t wait to see where the future takes you! Enjoy your senior year! 🩵🖤

If you know me well, you know that I have a huuuuge soft spot for families with children who have unique needs. This is actually why I started in photography almost 14 years ago - I wanted pictures of my oldest son who is on the autism spectrum, and our trips to photography studios were an absolute disaster.

Parents - your sessions don’t have to be “perfect” to perfectly capture your babies. It’s ok for kids to be kids. Thank you to the Gruenewald family for trusting me to photograph your beautiful family & for letting the kids be kids! Love you guys! ❤️😘❤️

The beautiful Miss A took a break out of her birthday to visit me for some new family photos! Happy birthday! I hope you had the best day! ❤️

Mylee | NWHS Class of ‘26 💚

This young woman is just as sweet as she is beautiful! We had a great time enjoying the fall colors popping out at Beaver Dam and chatting about her future life (and my current life) as a teacher. Enjoy your senior year, Mylee! Best of luck to you in all you do!

You guys. I mean…😍 I have no words. This session is SO much fun to edit! 🧡 Back to work now…

Sometimes I take pictures just because I love capturing beautiful things. ❤️

Kicking off our recognition of the honorable mentions in the 9th annual "Images of Lincoln Memorial Garden" photo contest is a photo that could have been submitted as a Botanical entry, but Amanda Castleman selected wisely to enter it in the adult category of the Living Creatures division. Judges were impressed with the lighting and the fact that the shell of the snail is seemingly glowing. Congratulations, Amanda!

Stay tuned as we continue to share the stunning images our professional photographers recognized as honorable mentions. Check back daily!
