Your experience is everything to me.
And it starts from the very first time you contact me! I pride myself on my fast communication response times and gallery turn around times!
My sessions are actually fun and stress free.
Most of my families say they are surprised by how easy the session went and OMG - “HOWWW DID YOU GET ALL OF THESE AMAZING SHOTS?!”
I will focus on your unique family connection.
There are no two families that exactly alike, so why should your photos be? During your session, I work to capture the essence of who your family is and what makes you special, making sure you walk away with photos that tell YOUR story.
Read the FAQs below or contact me today.
-
My work has been described as genuine, authentic, and true to life. My families are often so surprised with how I captured them, “looking like our real selves.” I do not try to make you look perfect, stiff or unnatural. Images from your session often tell a story, capturing that brief moment in time. I combine both traditional and lifestyle photography along with family portraiture. My passion is to create honest, meaningful images of your family to be treasured for years to come.

Together, we can agree on the perfect spot for your family shoot, however I do have a few locations that I like to recommend. I serve the Lake Country, Madison, Milwaukee, and North Shore areas of Wisconsin. I absolutely welcome photo sessions from outside of this radius, however locations further than 20 miles from zip code 53066 will be charged a travel fee. I also offer a studio option, located in downtown Oconomowoc.
-
I schedule sessions during weekdays. Weekends are available on a very limited basis, such as during a mini session event. Outdoor sessions generally take place at golden hour, 1-2 hours before sunset for the most beautiful light. In-home or studio sessions generally take place in the morning or afternoon when we have the best indoor natural light.
-
Yes! I schedule mini session events a couple months in advance, typically for each season. There are a limited number of sessions available on specific dates. These sessions almost always sell out. If you are interested in my next mini session availability, make sure to join my VIP Email group The Circle! Here you will be the first to be notified and will be able to book before the general public.
-
Sessions are quick! I like to work fast to keep small kiddos happy and engaged, and I know my families are busy! A family session takes approximately 60 mins or less. My lifestyle newborn sessions take approximately 1-2 hours as there tend to be needed feedings, diaper changes, and all those sweet baby things.
-
My sessions are fun, laid back, and very relaxed. I love to play games, chase, run, and sometimes get a little dirty. I do pose my families, but in a very natural way while giving you gentle prompts to help get those natural reactions and emotions to come out. I am a hands on person, and I “get in there,” guiding your family into the most attractive positions. If your kids are having a tough time, it's okay, they are kids! I am adaptable, and we will find ways to get beautiful photos that you will love!
-
I am typically booked one to two months in advance, with fall being the busiest time of year. If you are interested in newborn portraits, please inquire when you are pregnant. Already delivered? Thats okay! There may still be some flexibility in my schedule for a last minute session.
-
Within 2-3 weeks of your shoot, you will receive a link to your private online viewing gallery. You will have one month to download your images from the gallery, after which, the gallery will be archived and no longer accessible. If you did not download your images in time, your gallery can be reactivated for a fee.
