Door county Engagement Session

Door County, WI is known as the ‘Cape Cod of the Midwest,’ and for a good reason. Door County is a peninsula surrounded by the clear waters of Lake Michigan. The quaint lakeside towns here make the perfect destination for any photo session.

Door County is one of my go-to recommendations for many of my clients, as the photo opportunities are endless.

We started this session off with an ice cream cone from Wilson’s, which is arguably one of the best ways to start a hot summer evening.

We then headed to the Anderson Dock in Ephraim to use the uniquely graffitied building as our backdrop!

Finally, we finished the session off with champagne to celebrate accompanied by a gorgeous sunset!

Asturias, Spain Beach Session

This past winter, I volunteered abroad in Asturias, Spain, a region in the north. While there, I fell in love with the rugged coastline and the deep blue water. It felt only right to take advantage of the stunning, natural backdrop.

Take a peek at how the coast and its sandy shores were incorporated into this photoshoot!

We had to crack open a bottle of sidra, (alcoholic cider), because when in Spain, duhhh. This is a staple in Asturias, so it only felt right to incorporate it!

And last but not least, GOLDEN HOUR. Two of my favorite words! Right before the sun set, we hurried to this gorgeous look out point for some golden hour views.

Truly a once in a lifetime kinda session; the kind that makes the best travel souvenir to remember such a special place.

Airplane Engagement Session

Do you and your partner love traveling, or is one of you a worker for an airline? If so, I would highly recommend having an airplane inspired engagement session.

I had the honor of capturing this couples engagement session at the airline hangar, and it was quite possibly the COOLEST session I’ve photographed yet.

Not only does the airplane make for a unique background, but it also allows for a wide variety of poses and playfulness in your session.

Anddddd you can do the classic ‘airplane,’ pose right in front of the actual thing. Fitting, right?! But in all seriousness, if you want a next level session, don’t be afraid to ask to incorporate objects or unique backgrounds!

Point beach state park photoshoot

Point Beach State Park in Two Rivers, Wisconsin has easily become one of my favorite locations to photograph at. This lesser-known state park is home to soft golden sand, hiking trails, and the sparkling blue waters of Lake Michigan. It’s stunning, to say the least.

Point Beach is the perfect place to not only enjoy on a hot summer afternoon, but also gain photo inspiration. This location has been one of my go-to photos spots also due to its proximity. It’s only a 45 minute drive from Green Bay, 1 hour from Appleton, 1.5 hours from Door County, and 2 hours from Milwaukee.

This was one of many sessions I photographed at Point Beach State Park over the summer, but this portrait session will forever remain one of my favorites.

The sand dunes, wooden walkway, and golden hour were the perfect recipe for a gorgeous backdrop.

Feeling inspired by the beauty of Lake Michigan, I asked my model if she’d be willing to dive in to get some creative shots… after a few sips of sangria, she was all in to brave the cool waters.

I hope these photos give you some inspo to get creative and try out a new location!
