Raechel and Nick Thompson's Engagement Photos

 I had the honor to take my best friend's engagement pictures. It was so much fun. They are such an adorable couple. This was a new location for me, and I absolutely loved all the textures and spaces to work with.

The Racine Journal Times

I took a tour of the Racine Journal Times during Open House Racine. It was fun going through the building and learning about the process to make the daily paper I grew up reading. The printing press was HUGE!

Serina and Jeff's wedding photographs

One of my best friends got married in April. She asked me to take her wedding pictures and I begrudgingly said I would do it. I had never shot a wedding before, even though I have been asked countless times. Weddings are not something I ever wanted to do. But, for a best friend I would make an exception. It was a very difficult task just doing it alone, but I had um, fun? The weather was horrible that day. Extremely windy and very cold with some rain. So my plan of spending a couple hours outside to photography went kaput. In the end they liked the images and that is all that matters to me. Also the party after the wedding was a blast, so that made things a lot better.
