Both in the heart of Wausau and traveling throughout Wisconsin to places like Door County, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison, Minocqua, and beyond, I've discovered the remarkable beauty that each season brings to photography. From the vibrant blossoms of spring to the cozy winter wonderland, there's never a wrong time for maternity, newborn, family, and engagement sessions. With every season, the backdrop changes, but the love, the anticipation, and the connections remain constants. As a Wisconsin photographer, I've learned to embrace the diversity of Wausau's year-round beauty. The city's parks, rivers, and charming streets offer the perfect setting for every session, ensuring that each photograph is an artful and heartfelt representation of the season's unique charm. Wausau's ever-changing canvas transforms every photo into a visual ode to the changing seasons and the enduring stories of the families and couples that grace my lens. Below, Wausau’s top photographer shows you a glimpse into engagement, family, maternity, and newborn sessions throughout the changing seasons of Wausau, Wisconsin and the surrounding areas.

Fall:

As a Wisconsin photographer, I know fall is my busy season. And it’s no wonder it’s probably the most popular time to schedule family and engagement photo sessions. We all adore the enchanting canvas that fall paints across the Wisconsin landscape. The vivid colors and crisp air create the perfect backdrop for maternity, newborn, family, and engagement sessions. The golden hues of autumn bring warmth and character to the images, adding a touch of magic to each frame. It's the ideal season to capture the bond between families, the excitement of expectant parents, and the love that unfolds during engagement sessions. The soft, diffused light of fall and the trees bursting with color, making every photo a work of art. Wisconsin's fall is a photographer's dream, an opportunity to craft images that not only reflect the season's splendor but also preserve the genuine emotions and connections of those we photograph.

Depending on where in fall you book your photo session the landscape can change quite quickly here in Wisconsin, but there is truly beauty throughout fall! In the beginning of fall it can still look and feel like summer, maybe a hint of the leaves starting to change. It’s great to still have those warm temps and green grass. We all know peak fall in Wisconsin, where the leaves are in full color and showing off why we all love our Midwest fall so much. Then as fall reaches its finale, and trees stand bare, now a simple landscape that is truly an understated beauty, allowing the focus to shift to the genuine connections and emotions.

Winter:

Wisconsin winter can last a long time, and the snow covered landscape can’t be overlooked for family, engagement, newborn, and maternity photos. I've come to cherish the unique beauty of winter. The season's glistening snowscapes and the soft, diffused light create a captivating backdrop for maternity, newborn, family, and engagement sessions. The cozy, intimate atmosphere of winter encapsulates the warmth and love that radiate during these moments. Snowflakes gently falling, couples wrapped in each other's arms, or a family gathered around a roaring fire - these are the scenes that winter photography in Wisconsin paints. The simplicity of the season allows the true essence of relationships to shine through in each frame, making it an ideal time to craft images that feel as heartwarming and genuine as they look. This is also a great time to think about having all or part of your photo session indoors. For most of my clients that in-home. I mean is there anything better than snuggling up with the ones you love, warm and cozy, while the snow falls outside?

Spring:

Spring in Wisconsin has it’s own beauty. The season heralds the renewal of life, and it's the perfect time to capture the tender moments that define maternity, newborn, family, and engagement sessions. Spring is similar to our Wisconsin fall in that depending on when you’ve booked your photo session, the landscape can change. It starts off bare and shaking off the cold winter snow. Then we move into the blooming flowers, gentle showers, and the emerging greenery mirror the anticipation, growth, and love that these sessions represent. As a Wisconsin photographer, I find that spring's embrace of new beginnings beautifully complements the narratives of families and couples, creating images that exude the same warmth and vitality that the season brings to our surroundings. Because Wisconsin spring can feel like winter in the beginning, this is another great time to think about an in-home session!

Summer:

In the heart of summer, Wisconsin transforms into a vibrant tapestry of warmth and joy, offering an the perfect canvas for maternity, newborn, family, and engagement sessions. Warm summer days make it perfect to add something fun to your engagement or family session but getting in the water. Those long summer nights are perfect for staying past dark and capturing something unique in the dusk or night sky. It’s the perfect time for couples to embrace the passion and fun and do a topless with jeans portion of their session. My couples and families also love to use summer as the time to adventure for their photo session with a trip to Minocqua, Devil’s Lake, or Door County for their photo session. As a Wisconsin photographer, I revel in the abundance of natural light and the lush, sun-kissed landscapes that characterize this season. Summer provides the perfect backdrop for capturing the blooming bonds of families, the anticipation of expectant parents, and the radiant love shared between couples. Whether it's the sun setting over a tranquil lakeside, families picnicking in sun-dappled meadows, or couples dancing under a starlit sky, summer in Wisconsin provides a magical ambiance that elevates every image into a timeless work of art.
