Sheldon – Sauk Prairie Senior 2012

When I first met with Sheldon, Sauk Prairie senior and his family the weather didn’t collaborate and it started to rain exactly when they arrived for a session.

It is my Polish friends to… read more

Grandma is published! – A Day in Life Session – Madison, WI Photographer

During our recent visit to Grandma, we saw how she was puzzled as to why she was mailed a large white envelope containing a copy of Country Magazine.
