Let me tell you a little story about a spider…not the kind that sends you running for the nearest shoe, but the kind that spins digital webs: the search engine crawler. These little bots scurry across your website, connecting one link to the next, figuring out what your site is all about, and ranking your […]
Every family has their thing from the inside jokes to the way your seven-year-old still reaches for your hand when they’re tired. I’ve spent the last 15+ years photographing families all over Milwaukee, and the pattern is always the same… people want photos that feel like them…not overly posed. Studio 29 Photography clients want photos […]
Rewind to a few weeks ago; I was in Garden City, New York, photographing a branding session for Rachel Perry when this motorcycle roared past us…powerful exhaust rumbling that I could feel vibrating up my legs into my gut. And in that moment, instead of being annoyed or irritated or startled by the interruption, I […]
There’s a special kind of magic that happens in Wisconsin every fall. The air turns crisp, the trees show off in vibrant reds and golds, and everyone suddenly remembers just how much they love flannel. It’s also the time when my inbox fills with one particular question: “Can I still get on your calendar for […]
(Short answer: yes… and here’s why.) If you’re a parent in Wisconsin scrolling Google at 11pm typing “Is it worth it to hire a professional family photographer?” you’re in good company. I see this question popping up online every week, especially from families in Milwaukee, Mequon, Cedarburg, Grafton, and all around Lake Country who want […]

“I need more wall space… they’re ALL so good!” That’s what Kaitlin said last year when she opened her gallery & I’m pretty sure she’s going to say it again this year!!!!! Our most recent family photo session at Big Bay Park in Whitefish Bay Milwaukee Wisconsin was so beautiful and fun!! After 18+ years […]
You know that weird limbo between busy and booked? Where you’re editing late into the night, juggling inquiries, but somehow… your calendar still has gaps. You’re working your butt off, but your bank account isn’t celebrating. I’ve been there, and I know how maddening it feels!!! You’re not lazy and you’re not untalented; your photography […]
Let’s skip the fluffy intro and get real: I was on the edge. Like, staring-into-the-abyss, questioning-my-life-choices kind of edge. My calendar was full, but my energy was tanking. The passion I once had for photography started to feel like a heavy weight I had to drag through every day. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever found […]
Just yesterday, I harvest 34 jars of golden honey from my own hive. Yep, I’m not just a photographer and mentor, I’m also a beekeeper!! And every time I drizzle my own organic honey on a breakfast bagel, I’m reminded how dang smart bees are!! They don’t rush. They don’t second‑guess. They just… know what […]
