So often with this job, I am rewarded with the company of wonderful, amazing, kind-hearted people. I don't know how I got so lucky, but boy am I thankful for it. Sam and Kaitlee are two of these aforementioned people, and I'm pretty smitten with this pair.

"There's a leak in the dining room ceiling." Dan had one job on his wedding day, besides making it down the aisle and saying "I do", and that was whispering sweet nothings in Dot's ear while I captured her stunning smile and laugh. What does Dan choose to tell Dot? "There's a leak in the dining room ceiling."
Read MoreWith the holiday season coming, I wanted to focus more heavily on how KLEM Studios gives back and give my clients the opportunity to give additional donations to our featured causes each month. Just by offering this to KLEM Studios clients, these wonderful people donated an ADDITIONAL $67 on top of the $83.19 we were already going to be able to donate. This number just blows my mind, this month we are donating $150.19! Roughly $75 will go to Glacier National Park and $75 will go to the Einstein Project in Green Bay.
Read MoreThere are some people in this world that have learned what truly matters and should be cherished: family, friends, and love. Liz and Bob have chosen to surround themselves with incredible people, and they reward those people with infinite love and kindness. As Liz and Bob said their "I dos" at Lambeau Field, standing on sacred ground in Green Bay, their presence and full hearts were what made the moment so special.
Read MoreIt's always such an honor when someone in your field recognizes your work and makes you feel valuable. Needless to say, I was flattered when Miranda and Adam reached out to me in hopes of having KLEM Studios capture their wedding day. Adam works in the industry and has lots of experience under his belt. I think this experience is part of what helped Miranda and Adam create a stunning wedding experience that completely reflected who they are.
Read MoreI want to share a story with you all that may seem small, but it feels like such a victory in my heart. A few days ago, I was delivering a client's photo album to them after their portrait session. At their viewing and ordering session, I had mentioned that KLEM Studios donates a portion of profits to the National Parks and local charities here in the Green Bay area.
Read MoreBoudoir sessions are one of my favorite sessions to photograph. There's so much excitement, anticipation, and laughter with boudoir. It empowers incredible women to step outside their comfort zones, love themselves, and indulge in their own beauty and happiness. Brittany brought along a friend to help calm her nerves, which I totally recommend for if the champagne I bring doesn't do the trick ;)
Read MoreWhat would you do if you knew that you're wildest dreams would come true? That these beautiful ideas in your head would become reality before your very eyes?
Read MoreI haven't been offering boudoir photography services for very long, but it is quickly becoming one of my favorite sessions to photograph. There's so much excitement, anticipation, and laughter with boudoir. It empowers incredible women to step outside their comfort zones, love themselves, and indulge in their own beauty and happiness. Marisa definitely was one of these women.
Read MoreFor August, our efforts were focused on Bryce Canyon National Park and Happily Ever After Animal Sanctuary.
Read MoreWhen I think of Liz and Bob, so many wonderful traits and qualities come rushing to mind. Their zest for life, their love of Green Bay and the Packers, their laughter and honesty, and how important their family is to them.
Read MoreWhen I'm not playing photographer, I spend my time behind the pine at Brickhouse Craft Burgers and Brews as their manager and beer director. I'm a Cicerone Certified Beer Server and self-proclaimed beer snob with an adventurous palate.

Read MoreAh, Green Bay Restaurant Week. The time when some of the area's best restaurants offer tasting menus and feature some of their most popular or innovative dishes at a discounted price. Venues offer up to three menus: $10 lunch, $20 dinner, or $30 dinner. I saved up my pennies to dine out a bunch for this event, and boy did I have some fantastic meals. Here's the skinny (although now I'm not feeling too skinny!) on how this year's Green Bay Restaurant Week went down in my book:
Read MoreFriends, we're doing some pretty incredible stuff together. I'm not just talking about getting to know each other and taking pretty pictures. We're making a difference. I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but KLEM Studios is beginning to really give back.
Read MoreI really believe that Dot and Dan complete each other. Not in the flowery, theatrical sense, but it a matter-of-fact sort of way. He puts up with her sass and gives it right back. She reaches for his hand and gently swings their arms while they walk. Their laughter is contagious, and their shared smiles are like a secret only they are privy to.
Read MoreLove is such a beautiful mystery. It can be all-consuming, fleeting, passionate, and sometimes it just sneaks up on you. It can be tragic, unrequited, painful, and misunderstood. With all of that, I do believe that love, true love, is the greatest thing that can ever happen to all of us. But what if you met the person you were going to grow old with when you were just a teenager? How would you know, what would you do to preserve that relationship and make it stand the test of time? It may not have been clear to Megan and Lane in the beginning how to make it all work, but they've definitely done something right. This July they will be celebrating eight years together, and their journey as husband and wife begins on New Year's Eve.
Read More1. HIKE
This one seems like a no brainer, but I can't emphasis it enough. There are SO many fantastic trails in Arches National Park, around Moab, and in nearby Canyonlands National Park. My favorites in Arches are the Devil's Garden Trail, Delicate Arch (of course), and Fiery Furnace. The latter is a ranger-led hike that's totally worth the $10, the rest are self-guided. Delicate Arch is most stunning at sunset, but be prepared to be surrounded by loads of other people during peak season and times.
Read MoreLove often comes full circle many times throughout a relationship. For Amy and Greg, their circle made a special rotation. Their story begins at the Mount Morris Camp and Conference Center where they attended church camp during high school and met for the first time.
