There are shoots that are beautiful… and then there are shoots that mean something.

This weekend’s Motherhood Minis were one of those.

From a brand new baby just a couple weeks old to a 97-year-old great grandma (!!), we had generations in front of the camera and honestly… you could feel it. The love, the history, the chaos, the tenderness. All of it.

Watching moms step into the frame, surrounded by their babies (and their babies’ babies) is something I don’t take lightly. These are the photos that matter years from now.

A huge thank you to for hosting us in such a beautiful space, and to for the stunning florals that brought everything to life.

And to every single family who showed up, trusted me, and let me capture your story… thank you. Truly. 🤍

One of my goals this year was to make sure that more of my clients take that next step after their photoshoot with me. Yes, that means - actually printing your photos!

Motherhood Minis are this weekend and for the first time ever, you can order keepsakes from your session!

Grab a gift for you (or grandma!), and let's make sure your photos don't disappear on your harddrive!

There will be special pricing on any product you order this weekend only! Come see my samples before or after your photoshoot and we'll get your photos in your actual hands this Mother's Day!

I can't wait to see you all this weekend for our 6th Mother's Day event! 🩷

Motherhood deserves to be seen. Celebrated. Cherished. ✨

That’s why I started Motherhood Minis six years ago, long before they were a thing.

For me, this wasn’t about following a trend. It was about her.

The mom who’s always behind the camera, capturing everyone else’s memories. 📸

The mom who gives her whole heart, day in and day out. ❤️

The mom who deserves to be in the frame, remembered, celebrated. 🌸

One day, your babies will go looking for photos of you. Not posed, perfect versions, but the real you. The snuggles. The quiet glances. The way you loved them with your whole being. 🫶

Make sure you’re there. In the frame. In their memories.

These minis are my way of pressing pause on the chaos and giving her a moment to just be with her babies, in this season, as she is. 🤍

To the mamas who have trusted me to capture this chapter, year after year, thank you. You are seen. You are loved. You are worth celebrating.

I can't wait to see you all *this weekend* for more! 🤍

And a huge thank you to for helping me bring this vision to life again with the most stunning floral backdrop I've honestly ever seen. 🌿💐

POV: you booked an in home newborn session and this is what it actually looks like 🤍

No stiff posing. No rushing out the door with a days-old baby. Just slow, cozy, real life moments captured right where your story is unfolding.

I spent the morning documenting this sweet family in their home, using natural light, baby-led pacing, and all the little in-between moments that matter most. The snuggles, the stretches, the way they already fit perfectly together.

If you’re searching for a more relaxed, lifestyle approach to newborn photography… this is it.

In home newborn sessions are designed to feel easy, comfortable, and completely centered around your baby and your family.

Based in Southeast Wisconsin, serving families in Oconomowoc, Delafield, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Madison + surrounding areas.

If you’re expecting and looking for a newborn photographer, I’d love to document this season for you.

Save this for later or send it to a mama who’s in the thick of those newborn days 🤍

PICTURE THIS 👇🏼

Those stunning framed canvases you've always dreamt of having in your home just arrived and it's time to hang them 🔨 , step back, and enjoy ☕️.

But it's not that simple. First, you need to create the perfectly cropped and proportioned images to get the gallery just right. And because those iPhone photos just don't pass the scale and vibe check, you realize this might be a job for your fav local photographer. 📸

Oh heyyyyy 👋🏻 👋🏻 Katie here! 🤗 Let me take the guesswork and stress out of the equation for you! With this season's "Personality Portraits," I will capture your most precious people using a classic portraiture style perfect for hanging on the walls for years to come!

A simple backdrop, lighting perfection, and super lame mom jokes (sorry in advance 😅) are all I need to create these heirloom quality photos for your family!

Prints and canvases sold separately- but I highly recommend these ones from !

Dropping details on this year's Personality Portrait event soon 👀 Until then, have you joined the waitlist!? Link in bio!

➡️ Questions!? Lemme know below!

Personality Portraits are happening this weekend!!

I have 3 final spots available for THIS WEEKEND! When they're gone, they're gone - and will not be offered again until winter 2027.

DM me : PORTRAIT and I'll get you signed up! 💕
