Allison + Tyler Engagement Session | Upper Hixon Forest La Crosse WI

Tyler + Allison did their engagement session at the start of fall in 2021. these two are so clearly perfect for each other, and it was so easy to snap photos of their in between moments. Allison was truly the most giggly I’ve ever seen her, and you can see how bright she is with Tyler by her side. we started their session at the Friendship Gardens in downtown La Crosse before heading up the bluffs to the Upper Hixon Forest trails.

they were so comfortable and it was easy to prompt them into cozy little moments. so excited to share their wedding day soon!! <3

La Crosse WI Engagement Session | Morgan + Fran

These two melt my heart <3 Morgan and Fran met in college when Morgan dropped her pencil an obscene number of times during class, and Fran picked it up every time like a true gentleman. From there, their friendship and relationship grew into a beautiful connection. I’m so thankful I got to photograph their engagement session in fall 2021. Morgan trusted my vision 100% for this, and though our plans changed a little bit when the original flower bushes I scouted out got MOWED, we still had such a fun time on this cloudy fall day.

Morgan wanted to make sure her photos had a natural and less posey feel, so I gave them lots of prompts to keep them cozy and thinking about each other. Their second outfit was so cute and natural, and we really leaned into those vibes.

and the final surprise, ghosts! Morgan loves halloween and really wanted to so something spooky themed. so we made them into ghosts and played around with some smoke bombs to give them some cool spooky engagement photos.

Olivia's Boudie Babe Moment | La Crosse Riverside Outdoor Boudoir Session

my girl Olivia brought the confidence!!! queen vibes only <3 she came to me for a boudoir studio mini back in 2021, and then rebooked for a full outdoor boudoir session this past August. she wanted to love and celebrate herself, and have photos to look back on when she needs a little extra boost to feel good. we started her session in a pretty lil flower field with this sexy red bodysuit.

Olivia selected flower fields and the beach in her boudoir questionnaire, so we went to Pettibone for her second location. I loved the contrast of the white against all this green! she also mentioned loving flower top photos, so she brought a couple flower bouquets and gave her The Moment

we finished her session with some beer poster vibes. she brought her boyfriend’s favorite beer and his cool ass bottle opener to play around with, and it was so great to see her confidence rise while we scooted around in the sand.

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!!!
