Carly and Brandon were married this past fall at the Covenant at Murray Mansion in Racine! Let’s just say that autumn in Wisconsin was showing off that Saturday and their wedding just magnified its beauty! From the full yellow foliage to the pops of orange in their flowers, October 22nd, 2022 could not have been more memorable! Their proposal story…

Erika and Derek knew that incorporating both of their hometowns on their wedding day was very important. Therefore they decided to host their ceremony at Erika’s home church (in Cedarburg) and their reception in the city where Derek grew up (Sheboygan) at the Pine Hills Country Club. The whole wedding day was full of these sentimental and beautiful details that…

When planning a winter wedding in Wisconsin, one typically hopes for snow but not a full-blown blizzard. Right? I can confidently say that the snowfall on Amanda and Jake’s wedding day was the BEST case scenario. As the day unfolded, we were presented with big fluffy snowflakes that fell softly to the ground AND small dainty ones that didn’t distract us during formal…

As I sit down to reflect on Dani and Jason’s October wedding day at Fete of Wales, I can honestly say that their wedding day was FULL of emotions and experiences that you would experience when falling in love; butterflies, awestruck, happy tears, full belly laugher, honesty, intimacy, inside jokes/memories, and happy-fueled dance moves. Speaking of dance moves, Dani…

Can you include your doggos in your engagement session with Grace Creatives? Yes! 🙂 Although dogs aren’t allowed at Retzer Nature center, Cammie and Eric knew that they wanted to invite their dog, Leroy, along for the last bit of their dog-friendly engagement session.

Remember that one time that I documented Hannah and Anthony’s birth announcement? What about that time I photographed their summer maternity session? Well folks, the anticipation and wait is over. It is time to celebrate because Baby Elodie is here, healthy, and as her parents put it ‘full of sass’! Grace Creatives thoroughly enjoyed getting to know newly formed family of three and documenting…

Kasie and Nick chose to get ready, document formal portraits, exchange vows, and host their reception ALL at Grand Geneva in Lake Geneva, WI. That being said, their day was relaxing yet full of fun and intentional moments with their friends and family. Huge congrats to Kasie and Nick as they celebrated their marriage at Grand Geneva. I loved getting to…

LeeAnn and Josh had a beautiful spring wedding at Creamery 201 in Fort Atkinson. Although, it was certainly a fun and well welcome celebration of their love, this Creamery 201 spring wedding wasn’t the original plan LeeAnn and Josh had pictured. These two had planned on getting married in May of 2020. Because of the pandemic, they postponed their celebration plans and…

What better way to welcome Spring and fresh beginnings than to photograph this new little one in a New Berlin Apple Orchard? This little one was born in the middle of March and by the time Grace Creatives’ “Apple Orchard Minis” rolled around in May she was ready to venture out and get some close-ups. Sam and Will, your daughter is simply and wonderfully…

Congratulations to Kali and Sean! These two were married on a beautiful spring day at Nippersink Golf Resort in Genoa City, Wisconsin. Kali and Sean decided to have a traditional first look down the aisle. Therefore, they spent the morning of their wedding day hanging out with eight (on each side) of their favorite friends and family members. When it came time to…

Anna and Ryan chose to capture their engagement session at Fairchild Botanical Gardens because it holds special meaning to them…the place where Ryan proposed! Anna and Ryan live near Fairchild and have an annual membership! In their free time, they enjoy spending time picnicking and visiting the gardens with friends and family. After meeting up with them for their engagement…

Hannah and Anthony are expecting their first child and I am so honored that Grace Creatives Photography was able to capture their pregnancy announcement photos at Hoyt Park!

This past week, I loved capturing Harrison David’s nine-month milestone session! During our time together, I was able to witness a few of his new skills…army crawling and pulling himself up on furniture. By the next time Grace Creatives photographs this little guy I am sure he’ll be taking some of his first steps and perhaps even a little bit more difficult to…

Abbi and Troy have been together for almost 9 years and will be getting married in August of 2021. Would you believe that in all of that time, they’ve never taken professional photos with each other?

Grace Creatives had a full schedule lined up for this year’s tree farm mini sessions! In addition to documenting all of the families, I loved capturing an exciting pregnancy announcement and engagement session. Compared to last year’s holiday minis, there wasn’t any snow on the ground which was a bummer. However, the weather was still decent! I was outside for 4 hours [in December…in Wisconsin]…

Let me introduce you to Mary and Casey! They were both working for Walgreens when they met….but not at the same store. Mary was a pharmacy tech at one location and Casey was the store manager at a different one. Funnily enough, when Casey wasn’t working he drove out of his way to stop at Mary’s store location, purchase items and…

As you may remember I documented Ellie and Mike’s maternity session at the beginning of October and little miss Audrey Zayda was welcomed into the world at the end of November…just in time for Thanksgiving AND Christmas.
