The Charmant Hotel // La Crosse, Wisconsin // Lobby Bar & Restaurant

A few of my favorite images from our branding & lifestyle content trip with Geronimo Hospitality Group. This summer has been full of new food menu items and delicious seasonal cocktails, but this trip to La Crosse was by far my favorite!

Tess // Crystal Lake Central Class of 2027

We spent a beautiful Saturday evening in Belvidere, Illinois for Tess's senior session! The late summer sunset accentuated her natural beauty and poise, and I loved her adorable collection of colorful outfit choices! She was down for anything, even getting in the sand and water at the end of her session. What an amazing senior session to be a part of!

Janessa // Beloit Turner Class of 2027 // Downtown Beloit Association // Beloit Bound

My first urban senior HS session since the Las Vegas Arts District in 2023! Downtown Beloit's buildings, architecture, and bridge made for the perfect midwest urban background. The clouds and drizzle didn't stop Janessa's session - she preferred it! The overcast sky created really nice lighting for soft, even skin tones. Janessa did an amazing job!

Harper // Sycamore Class of 2027 // Part 2 ✨

A gorgeous hazy August evening with the BEST sunset and gorgeous wildflowers. Sycamore Forest Preserve is just the perfect spot for senior sessions!

Happy Senior Night to Sophia! 🩰
