People often ask me how my photography journey started, but I don't think it can be pinpointed to one specific moment. Perhaps it was growing up in my childhood home, looking at the big, beautiful black and white Ansel Adams landscape prints on our walls. Or maybe it was when I was gifted a camera for Christmas and went through a whole roll of film that night. Or maybe it was when I was in college and I had completed the Intro to Photography course, but I wasn't sure if it was for me until the professor who taught the remaining black and white and digital photography courses convinced me that I had found my home.

Chelsea reached out to KLEM Studios months ago, knowing that she was going to propose to Bri on their three-year dating anniversary.

Morning thunderstorms and a threat of rain throughout the afternoon hung in the air as Megan and Alvin prepared to say I do. Full of excitement, close friends and family entered the Maxwelton Braes hotel and restaurant in Baileys Harbor, Door County. Megan and her bridesmaids buzzed about, being filled with wedding day jitters. Megan’s wedding day became even more real to her once she slipped into her wedding dress with the help of her maid of honor and mom; and she realized that she was actually going to get to marry Alvin that day!

Erin was totally calm and relaxed as she got her hair and make up done at our studio before her engagement session. She joked about how she had gone shopping for new outfits and tried to get her fiancé, Dave, to try a new look. She said they compromised and went with his signature blues and grays look. :-) Erin and Dave had just gotten the keys to their new house the week before their engagement session, and Erin shared how their home makeover projects have been going so far, while Claudia styled Erin to the nine’s. Erin is a hairstylist herself, so she placed a lot of trust in Claudia’s hands!

The waves of Lake Michigan crashed along the exposed cliffs at Cave Point County Park. A slight in the air, making brilliant fall colors even more pronounced. Johanna and Aaron wound their way through the trees and along the rocky shore, laughing as they walked. They had gotten engaged in Door County in January, and the area had captivated them so much that they returned for their engagement session.

Johanna and Aaron met on an online dating site, and they had instant chemistry.
