Abby! ✨

The guest appearances made during Abby’s session were in the form of her dogs, her family’s Corvette, and her truck — it resulted in a shoot that was BURSTING with inspiration! We couldn’t. stop. taking her picture 🤍

With a country flare worked into so many of her outfits and her love of cowgirl boots, the dirt road meets charming country settings complimented her vibe perfectly. We were blessed with THE most gorgeous evening light and, WOW, let’s just say Abby blew us away!!

Grace! ✨

Smiles and laughter and energy! Wow did we EVER love this day together. There’s nothing we love more than getting to know a family and photographing countless siblings & cousins! And with Grace, we felt like we knew her from day 1 because we’ve photographed 3 of her cousins!💕

We know one thing to be true, and that is: when you’re spending time with Grace, it’s going to be filled with fun, you’re going to laugh, and you might talk about cheeseburgers 😊 Luckily we love all of the above, and we’d do this day again in a heartbeat if we could! Thank you to Grace and her sweet mom Ann for being such a bright spot in our summer!☀️✨

KATE! 💛

After having THE best time creating and chatting non-stop during her model session this spring, we couldn’t wait for this day together 💫

Thankfully, her Runway + Sports session gave us oodles of hours to bounce around town and take our time! Not to mention, it was a gorgeous summer day AND Kate’s outfits were so inspiring to capture! Movement, texture, ruffles, shine, jewelry and her natural vibe in front of the camera… what more could a photographer (or two!) hope for, right?!

We hope you enjoy this peek into our dreamy evening with Kate and her mom!! ☀️

Caroline! ✨ Sign us up for unlimited sessions with the Kurth family please, because we can never get enough of our time with them! 🤍

Having photographed Caroline’s two older sisters over the years, we couldn’t wait for her turn in front of the camera. We quickly connected over our shared love of crime/FBI-focused tv shows, and were in awe of her real-life hopes of becoming an FBI agent. In our eyes, this is perhaps one of THE COOLEST things we’ve ever had a senior tell us about! 👏🏼 ✨

Carrying on the tradition, we started Caroline’s session in-studio before heading to the Kurth family field where beautiful white queen Anne’s lace awaited us! Next up was photos at their home along the river, where we captured her final outfit. This evening was truly such a blast with Caroline and her fun-loving mom, Jen!!☺️

Pairing Carmen’s elevated fashion with a garden/barn setting that felt like it was plucked right from the Italian countryside was the vibe of her senior session – yes, please!! ✨

After luminous portraits in our studio with a very chic black + white outfit, we created with 4 different looks from Carmen’s closet and are in LOVE with every single one!

Carmen is also one of our representatives from Wausau West’s Class of 2027 as part of our model team, and we are thrilled we’ll have the pleasure of photographing her again soon! Until then, you know we will be obsessing over this day!! 🫶🏼

Finn! Wow did we ever have the best time during his session last week. We rode the wave of good energy for DAYS after, and are so excited to share his sneak peek! ✨

The Christensen’s are *such* a fun & kind family, and having photographed two of his sisters over the years, we couldn’t wait for Finn’s turn. Lucky us, we’ve now photographed him 3 times this year — one of which was down in Charleston, SC over spring break! That shoot set the bar HIGH for his senior session, and he more than delivered. 👏🏼

Studio, downtown, football at West, and a taste of greenery & water rounded out our time together. Thank you Finn, Renee and Ben for a session we will be smiling about for weeks!! 🫶🏼

Fred! His session was the perfect mix of chill and great smiles, and each was more stylish than the next. Just hours before his session he was volunteering with kids and fought off a swarm of bees! A few bee stings later he was cool as a cucumber smiling and laughing with us. We also photographed Fred for a family photo session 4 years ago, so it was especially fun for us to see the young man he has grown into!✨

No matter how much time we have with Ella, it never seems like enough! She is as sincere as she is beautiful, and truly such a joy to create with!! 💕

Ella’s Runway Session took us all over town with a little taste of everything: charming neighborhood vibes, a taste of urban, water, flowers + fields! So many favorite moments, fabulous outfits, and dreamy spots — Ella, can we rewind and do it all again?!🫶🏼✨

If there’s a family we just can’t seem to get enough of, it’s the Fox family! Jacob’s Luxe + Sports session was just over a week ago, and we couldn’t STOP taking his picture! Seeing confidence come through in the form of a little improv and bright, genuine smiles is one of our favorite parts of a session –– and Jacob definitely delivered in both departments. 👏🏼👏🏼

Each outfit brought more style points than the next, and perhaps his favorite part was the ending. Golf carts awaited us as we arrived to Wausau Country Club, and anything involving buzzing around the course on carts is an automatic win in our book. 😎

After lots of playtime with his sister Olivia a couple years back, and also with his twin earlier this summer, we’re secretly mourning the fact that Jacob rounded out the Fox family trio and there aren’t more siblings to plan sessions with 😉 But above all we are grateful for a fun afternoon with Jacob and his sweet mom & sister! 🫶🏼

Alexander is as adventurous and quick-witted as they come! The two of us have been lucky to see (and photograph) him as he’s grown up. We also happen to consider his parents among our favorite people on the planet🫶🏼

Together, we hiked around his family’s Door County property for his session while talking college plans and failing miserably at Alex’s request for jokes! 😂 And let’s be honest, his devilishly handsome looks made things really easy on us!

We know Alex is destined for big things and can’t wait to see where he lands! But first, it’s almost time to enjoy senior year back in Colorado! 🏔️
