Winter Wonderland Engagement Session | Madison Engagement Photographer

Can you believe this winter is almost here? I have a love/hate relationship with winter because I absolutely love snow and winter sports, but am so not a fan of the cold.

Lapham Peak Engagement Session | Delafield WI Photographer

I’m from Wisconsin and primarily grew up in Pewaukee. Lapham Peak (part of the Kettle Moraine State Forest), is just a hop away and is a very popular hiking spot. Despite taking many walks there, I ironically never had a session at Lapham until Riley & Matt’s fall engagement. The wait was definitely worth it! […]
