Cam was born just weeks after pandemic lockdowns began in 2020, which was a tough time to have portraits taken, but we made up for lost time on a chilly but beautifully colored fall day in October!
Enjoy these photos of Cam having a blast with Carla + Dylan (and while you’re at it, check out Carla + Dylan’s wedding photos here)!

I love the witchy, dark, and moody vibe of early evenings in the fall, and Sara + Jared were totally on board! Enjoy these gorgeous photos and help me wish a big congrats to these two on their engagement!

We roamed around the campus, stopping at Bascom Hall and the Allen Centennial Gardens along the way, and barely escaped the early evening rain (which I feel like is Wisconsin in a nutshell, so it’s a great way to spend the week before you move!) Congrats to Austin and good luck to him and Joe (and the puppies!) as they start their next adventure!

Which is basically the most convenient place you can have a portrait session, and it allowed us to sneak in some photos with the dogs indoors, and sneak in some outdoor photos in between rain drops!
Enjoy these fun family photos, and give all your doggos (and kitties) pets for me!

Fiona’s 1 year portraits (check them out here) were the last family portraits I did before the pandemic, so it was nice to get to see Fiona 18 months older and to meet her new little sister, Winnie, for my first family portrait session post-vaccination!
Welcome to the world, Winnie!

Matt + Drew and their furry son Olly joined me for an engagement session on a not too hot summer day, and we had a blast, as well as a great walk up and down Willy Street! Enjoy the photos from this sweet summer session. I can’t wait for the wedding in 2022!

Charlie’s newborn session was filled with cuteness (obviously), matching outfits, and Pride-themed apparel. I was so happy to get to celebrate Charlie with Chelsea.+ Doug! Enjoy this adorable family and welcome to the world, Charlie!

And my goodness was it a gorgeous day!
A big, hearty congratulations to Jena + Nick!

When Kat mentioned Shake Rag Alley, and said how magical a place it was, my first thought was “I could use some more magic in my life, I’m in!”
Kat was not wrong, it’s a freaking magical place and was so sunny and gorgeous when we were there on Mother’s Day weekend! It was awesome to see how big the girls have gotten since the last time we did family photos (check those out here!) The girls also got to make fairy houses after the portrait session!
Enjoy these fun family photos, and if you get the chance, go check out Shake Rag Alley sometime!

It seems like just yesterday that I was doing maternity portraits for Lily + Aaron (check those out here), but in the blink of an eye, little Rylan arrived, and before we knew it, it was time to capture her newborn photos!
Let’s also just admit right now that it’s a weird year to be born in (let alone a weird year to be a new parent), but something tells me Rylan is going to do great, and she’s got the most loving parents even to look after her in these strange times. I am so excited to have been able to celebrate with this little family! Congrats Lily + Aaron!
-Sam
p.s. See if you can find the picture where Rylan is playing a mean air guitar :)
I’ve been lucky enough to photograph Lily + Aaron’s engagement portraits and their wedding day, and more recently we were able to take some photos to celebrate the upcoming birth of their 1st child! I’m so excited for them (and also can’t wait to meet the new addition).
Despite the snow that we had for their maternity session, I think their wedding day was actually a couple degrees colder, but both days were beautiful and you all know how much I love the Arboretum as a backdrop for photos!
Enjoy the pics of these two parents-to-be, and keep an eye out for photos of their little family addition in the Spring!
