“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” - Walt Disney

I feel like this quote is very relatable, not only because of the theme of this shoot but in light of my journey with photography! Maybe one day I will get a chance to sit done and write about how I got here for those who haven't heard my story during a session. However, in the meantime, all I’ll say is that God has richly blessed me with such a wonderful career, doing something I love and have had a passion for, ever since middle school.

Part of my awesome job is working with high school seniors. One of the many reasons I love seniors is not only their explosive energy but their ability to run with any crazy idea I may come up with, and my 2020 Model Rep Team is no exception.

When we first talked about ideas for our group styled shoot there were so many that I thought would be fun to try, but ultimately I let the kids decide, the whole time hoping they would pick this one. Disney.

They did such a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life and I am so lucky and honored that I get to work with these guys this summer! Watch out world because the Class of 2020 has some dreamers!

Have you ever had a feeling when you meet someone, that you know you’re going to be friends? That’s how it has felt meeting Cheyenne and Kyle! They are one of the most generous, fun-loving, couples I’ve had the chance to meet! After learning that they were high school sweethearts I knew we would have a special connection—as my husband and I are also high school sweethearts, and that’s not a very common thing to find nowadays! Planning this day with them for the past year has been so amazing and I am sad it is over, but also so happy for both of them and can’t wait to see how God prospers them in the future!

Cheyenne and Kyle’s wedding was held at The Barn at Buechler Farms in Belgium, Wisconsin this past Saturday. Despite some sporadic drizzling rain, it was a beautiful day to have a wedding! The farm provided such a beautiful backdrop for our bridal portraits! It was so wonderful to have such a great property at our disposal. The bridal party then hopped on a bus and continued the celebrations in downtown Port Washington, where we grabbed a few more shots by the lake front!

Overall it was a day filled with love, laughter, and so much happiness and it was such an honor to be a part of it! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Kirst! May God bless this new chapter in your life together, I am so happy for you both!
