Joy + Jordan Married | Eau Claire, WI

It was a gorgeous day, celebrating Joy and Jordan. We were so excited to be a part of this couple's wedding day as the groom actually was a part of our own wedding! Jordan has an amazing voice and sang on our special day. It was so nice to be able to share our talents in return. This couple didn't do a first look, so we had some fun sneaking in photos of Joy getting ready before the ceremony. I personally love capturing the moments up until the ceremony. This particular church had the most gorgeous loft that we were able to spend the morning in with the bride. 

I just adore these purple dresses, and these ladies were a fun group to shoot!

This is one of my favorite shots of the night. Such a romantic setting at the Florian. 

Time to celebrate the happy couple!

Congrats again you two! Wishing you many years of love and happiness. Thank you for letting us be part of your big day!

Kallstrom Family Session | Eau Claire, WI

It was such a pleasure to photograph the Kallstrom family. We had a blast playing in the grass and just goofing off in general. There is so much love in this group!     

Valentine's Boudoir | Eau Claire, WI

Over Valentine's, I had a special for Boudoir sessions. The feedback was great; everyone loved their photos and the husbands loved their gifts! 

Boudoir is an up and coming trend that a recent news segment on Good Morning America stated, "isn't going away".  [ See Video Here]

I get a lot of questions wondering what is a Boudoir session? To me, boudoir is a series of classy photographs that are taken in lingerie, costume jewelry, etc. that accent the best parts of a woman. Empowering for women & fun :) 

It has been exciting to see its popularity expanding here in the Chippewa Valley. I do shopping consultation for FREE for my clients. This means, the lady at Victoria's Secret knows me on a first name basis ;) I was just in yesterday helping find an outfit for a client and was told we were the THIRD ones in today doing the same thing! 

I had a blast with the girls for this session and can't wait for another round coming up this weekend. Whether the photos are used for a gift or personal reflection; a boudoir session is a perfect way to remember a beautiful time in one's life. 

Here is a recent testimonial from lady L. She wrote to me saying, 

"I wanted to THANK YOU so much! You rock!! I could go on and on about how comfortable you made me and just how wonderful you are!"

As a photographer, there is no greater compliment in this. I aim to have fun, make my clients feel comfortable, and of course, get some great photographs! 

If you think you would be interested in a session, feel free to contact me. Also, you can learn more about boudoir from this link. [ What is Boudoir? ]

Hurlburt Family Session | Eau Claire, WI

Winter can be a fun time to capture family moments. I had a great time photographing this family as they sported some UW-Eau Claire gear to support their son who was starting college in the fall. 

Ryan's Senior Portraits | Eau Claire, WI

Ryan is a Durand High School senior and the brother of my good friend. We ventured around our hometown of Durand and captured some great scenic shots. I love how the Wisconsin landscape has a way of surprising you, even when you've been surrounded by it your whole life. One of my favorites from this series is the yellow lake picture. The colors resembled that of a studio backdrop, but perfectly found in nature! Overall, it was a fun adventure for this portrait session.
