Welcome to my Blog!

I’ve been a mom now for almost six years! In some ways, it seems like an eternity and I can’t remember my life without kids. Other times, I feel like my kids were just born yesterday! While I know I’ll never be an “expert” in motherhood (is there such a thing?!) I’ve also learned a […]

I’ve seen countless posts in Facebook groups and other places with moms asking for recommendations for baby shower venues in Milwaukee, and I’ve rounded up a few great ones to share! Each venue has its own unique traits, and I believe there is something here for every taste and budget! After you read through, I’d […]

I’m so excited to start a new blog post series where I get to blog about local resources for the Milwaukee mom! I connected with Maggie from Lake Country Newborns after coming across her agency on a Facebook page. My first thought was “This is amazing!! I totally could have benefitted from this service as […]

I have been doing Milwaukee newborn photography since 2017! I can’t believe my business will be turning five years old this year. Thank you so much to those of you who have stuck around, and who continue to support me! I want to address some of my philosophy about newborn photography, which will hopefully help […]

I may not have strong opinions about a lot of things, but one thing I do have strong opinions on on is the best playgrounds in Milwaukee. It’s especially hard to find ones that are good for toddlers, and I believe that these are great! As a mom to four kids under five, I’m ALWAYS […]

One of my favorite times of year for mini sessions is SPRING! Milwaukee is actually really beautiful in the spring, and has many options for blooming trees at local parks that can be used in photographs. Typically, the blooms come out at the beginning of May, but they happened almost one month early this year! […]

Back in August, my brother had his first baby!! When he and his wife started making their baby registry, they contacted me for help and I put this list together for them. Since then, I’ve had multiple clients who are also pregnant with their first, I’ve seen posts in mom’s groups, and I’ve had multiple […]

ALRIGHT! Buckle up for a somewhat lengthy (but hopefully helpful) blog post on organizing business taxes and income! I posted about doing taxes on Instagram and had almost a dozen DMs from people with tax organizational questions! First of all, I want to say that while this is definitely something you want to do to […]

One of my regrets is not writing down Micah and Jude’s birth stories! I want to be able to remember it while it’s still (relatively) fresh in my mind, so I’m sharing Nathan’s on the blog today! Feel free to skip to the bottom and look at the cute pictures if birth stories aren’t really […]

If you’re looking for a Franklin family photographer, I’d love to chat more with you! I LOVE family photography. But even more than the photography itself, I love getting to know the families that I work with! Laura and I actually went to K-12 school together! We were good friends especially in elementary school, and […]
