Downtown La Crosse Engagement Session | Taylor + AJ

Taylor + AJ (+ Gordon) came up to La Crosse from Illinois for their engagement session last fall. I knew Taylor from high school, but have been so thankful to get to know her as a friend through past photoshoots together. Meeting AJ for the first time and being able to see how much love and care he has for Taylor was so heartwarming, and I had a blast running around downtown La Crosse with them. There was no shortage of giggles, kisses, or cute photo worthy moments <3

These outfits were chef’s kiss. so perfect!! I was screaming about Taylor’s dress for weeks after their session. we photographed their second set at the La Crosse Friendship Gardens by Riverside.

We ended the session in my studio with some Harry Potter themed photos. OBSESSED. I love when couples incorporate personal touches into their sessions, and this was a fav of mine because I, too, am a potterhead. we actually used my childhood Harry Potter books in these photos. and they are freaking rocking these outfits and this flash. such a killer vibe

Burn The Dress | La Crosse WI Boudoir

I would like to introduce you to my MOM, people, this is my mother. no jokes no lies. we talked about this session for months before we finally made it happen, and it was so worth the wait.

after my mom’s divorce was finalized, she told me she’d been holding onto her wedding dress so she could burn it when the time was right. healing journeys are constant, but this was the next step in her’s — a truly freeing experience. she chose a lingerie outfit from my client closet that made her feel sexy and powerful, and she started the session wearing the dress to really show her story.

a powerful queen.

taking off the dress, freeing herself, standing in her power and letting her confidence shine. BURN THAT SHIT MOMMA

and then, spark up. can’t waste those flames

the smile !!!!!!!!!!!! some of my fav photos from her entire session. my mom is truly so beautiful, and seeing her happy and confident and feeling herself was one of my favorite life experiences. to have been able to get MY MOM into a BOUDOIR SESSION, in the OUTDOORS no less… so sick.

the smoke bomb is the cherry on top. full sends only!!!

Kieley

Meet Kieley, class of Onalaska 2023. The sweetest soul, and she has a killer Model Face. We started our session up on the bluff, and finished up at the beach. We took advantage of the perfect summer day, and she even got in the water at the end! I also had the opportunity to photograph her twin brother, Colton, a week after her session.

Bloody Mary's With a Fall Engagement Session | La Crosse WI | Olivia + Jack

Olivia + Jack met a couple years ago at a party and got engaged in August this year. Jack proposed on a camping trip over the summer, just the two of them. Their wedding date is set for next September, and I was so pumped to get together with them for their engagement photos in La Crosse. They brought some country tunes, their pup, Rudy, and all the goods to make Bloody Mary’s at the end of the night.

Downtown Newlywed Session | La Crosse WI | Madison + Eli

Maddie + Eli had a rainy ceremony, so we met up that weekend to get some (sunny) photos of them all dressed up. We spent 2 hours walking through Downtown La Crosse finding perfect little love pockets hidden in the alleys and up in the clouds. The best day.
