Suzanne is stunning | Tremper Senior

This Tremper senior is one of the prettiest I've ever photographed.... I'm not even exaggerating! Suzanne is beautiful and after hanging out with her, we quickly found out that her personality matches. 

You'd ​never guess that the day of her session was as cold as it was—she was a good sport, especially in her gorgeous homecoming dress. It was totally worth it, too. Her shots are stunning. Check out the highlights...

Horlick Senior: Ambitious photographer, influencer, friend

If you live in the Kenosha/Racine area, chances are, you've heard of Thomas Stark. I have to say, I'm honored to have gotten to know him so well over the last few years. He's a senior at Horlick HS (Racine) but his influence reaches far beyond the walls of his school. Many know him either from Kayne's Coffee & Custard or Wells Brothers Pizza. I met him through youth group and we were instant photography buddies :)

Get to know Thomas and enjoy these highlights from his Senior Portrait Session...​

A Kenosha Senior in love with fine arts

This is Sam. Bradford High School (Kenosha, WI) is where she spends her days....but not for long. Sam is graduating in a couple short months! I'm honored to have gotten to know her for a short time during our shoot. From what I learned about her, she's super chill, extremely pretty, and in love with the fine arts. We had fun using Sam's creative ideas during this session to really make the shoot unique & representative of who she is. The beaming, beautiful sunshine was a total bonus, too! Check out Sam's story...

Katlin's thrill-seeking dreams

I'd like to introduce you to Katlin. She is a senior at Walden High School (Racine, WI) and is one of the sweetest people I've met. Underneath the surface though, she's a music junkie and thrill-seeker bubbling with sass. Love her spirit!  We had a blast with her during her senior portrait session, too. Family is a big deal to Katlin, so it was neat to shoot at her family's farm (which has been in the family for years) as well as the beach by the Racine Zoo where she has memories with her Grandma. And, I have to say... Katlin ROCKED the camera! Check out her story...

a budding writer shares her heart
I'd like you to meet Maggie Damaschke. She is a senior at Horlick High School (Racine, WI) and is definitely set for success after graduation. This girl, aside from being absolutely gorgeous, is crazy talented! She plays the clarinet and piano and is in five different bands, is a budding novelist, a skilled artist, is involved in various activities and sports at her school, as well as several activities outside of school. Her faith in God is a guiding factor in her daily life (which is so encouraging to me). I have LOVED getting to know Maggie over the last few years and I invite you to get to know her, too...

ready for a change
Talk about a girl who's got it going on… As she rounds out her final year of high school, Emily Berry, a Bradford senior '12 (Kenosha, WI), has quite a bit to be proud of. She made tons of friends, played volleyball, was on the Homecoming Court, and was involved in community outreach. Pretty soon, she'll be packing up to head out to UW Oshkosh, but until then, she's got some fun memories to share with us and some great advice to give.

senior smiles


Yesterday afternoon, I had the privilege of shooting senior portraits for Emily Berry (Bradford High School). We had an absolute blast together!

I was a little nervous about shooting at 2:00 in the afternoon (what on earth was I thinking...) with the battle of harsh sun & shadows, but the day turned out to be gorgeous. We didn't have much cloud cover to work with, but I stepped up to the challenge & took on the sun. Aaarrrrgggh! [ That's not supposed to come across as "pirate" really, just more in the "Ima gettit done" tone. ]

Although I haven't gone through all of her photos yet, I just couldn't help but edit one of my favorites to post on Facebook for her yesterday—she is absolutely beautiful! We shot down at Wolfenbuttel Park in Kenosha, taking advantage of bright flowers, beach, rocks, Lake Michigan, and even a surprise "lagoon" area. Who knew?
