Memory making & experiences above all else

As of April 30th in the afternoon, Mike and Heather became a Mr. and Mrs. at the most beautiful church surrounded by a sea of their family and friends. It was a full house, and it was a big church. We met the lovely ladies in the upstairs of Greene’s Pour House, a gorgeous space […]

Kate is my dear friend from high school. I can’t really tell you how we became friends, we kind of just always got along. We played basketball together in middle school (and I’m pretty sure we both warmed that bench up real good 😉 ) and joined the same groups in high school. We shared a love […]

I recently helped a dear friend move to San Francisco (you can read and see all about that here!) and made it my goal to take photos of a couple somewhere along the way. With the weather still chilly in Wisconsin and a few weeks until wedding season AND being surrounded by redwoods and ocean everywhere, […]

THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE KLEIN + HIETPAS FAMILY This “off season” has presented so many different and fun opportunities to learn and grow creatively and as a person. Sure, we are always growing and learning, but these past few months have challenged me to think a little differently and work with other outcomes in […]

THE PEETERS WEDDING CLIP YOU GUYS. If you loved Derek and Lucy’s wedding photos (you can see their blog post here!) you are just going to fall head over heels in love with this little trailer of their wedding day. Considering that I love making little personal travel and family videos, I knew that this wedding […]

SWEET WINTER ENGAGEMENT SESSION, APPLETON Dan and Tanya are so deserving of all this love and joy. Seriously, SO deserving! I’ve known Tanya for many years, and she’s always been the most kind-hearted and sweetest person ever, no matter how much time passes. She has met her match in Dan, someone who is totally smitten […]
