Extended Family Portraits Wisconsin Dells – Happy Birthday, Mary!
Another big family reunion included a session in Wisconsin Dells this summer! This time the occasion was Mary’s 80th Birthday. Her kids, siblings, grandchildren and great grandchildren met in one of the Dell’s resorts to celebrate. It was also a perfect time for extended family portraits. I think this was my first time to photograph such a big group, but… read more
Welcome to the World, Maya! – Birth Photography, Madison WI
Earlier this week I had a very unique opportunity to photograph the very first just-after-birth moments of bonding between little Maya and her family. I felt honored when my friend Justyna (also a photographer and the owner of Funky Monkey Photography in Madison) asked me to document these priceless memories for them. Thank you for having me… read more
What I Love – Beet Kvass Recipe – Nourishing Drink From Eastern Europe
You might already know that I just LOVE lacto-fermented foods and drinks. Sauerkraut and pickles in salt brine is what I grew up with in Poland and now I’m just expanding my fermented repertoire. I am a regular reader of Dr. Mercola’s newsletter and yesterday he shared a very interesting article about how our gut… read more
Exploring Door County – Family Vacation
Seaside experience isn’t usually a part of Midwest living, however we just did have a taste of it during our Door County family vacation. Scenic shorelines, lonely lighthouses, picturesque waterfront villages, bucolic islands and incredible natural landscape – we found it all on this peaceful peninsula in Wisconsin northeast corner. With so much that Door… read more
Galena, IL Spring Break – Prairie du Sac, WI Photographer
One of the favorite things that we love to do as a family is travel. With a pile of audio books from the library and a destination in mind we are ready for a road trip. We’ve gone as far as New Mexico, Utah or Virginia or as close as neighboring states. This year we… read more

But for me, learning came first. This is what I love about photography – there is always something new to learn, it never stops, and you can always… read more
A Little Summer in Winter – Sauk City, WI Photographer
2011 was definitely a year filled with travels for our family. Winter finally arrived with some snow to Wisconsin and we just came back from an amazing trip to much warmer parts of the world. Hopefully the warmth we soaked in will last until the spring 🙂 Visiting the Caribbean was on my wish list for a… read more
Wisconsin Hikes – Fall Colors, Sauk Prairie, WI Photographer
I thought I would share with you a few images that I captured back in October on one of our Wisconsin hikes. Leaves are all gone and the snow is right around the corner. Here are some last beautiful fall colors, my barefoot hikers and mysterious berries we found while hiking. They looked tempting, delicious, juicy… read more
Shelley and Shawn – Fall Family Portraits, Madison WI
I met with Shelley, Shawn and their kids at a local county park for their session. It was a new place for them and I hope they liked it enough to come again in the future and explore some more (or in winter for some sledding fun). Perfect fall weather, beautiful setting and another great… read more
Melanie and Ryan – Devil’s Lake Family Portraits, Sauk Prairie WI Photographer
Melanie and Ryan have three sweet girls, each one with a beautiful smile. The youngest is learning to walk right now; and she glows with joy when somebody gives her a hand to help with those first steps. She was deep in leaves up to her knees but it didn’t bother her at all, as… read more
