I’m 30 years old & I live in the big ol' town of Van Dyne, Wisconsin.  Banker by day, photographer by night. I drive race cars in the summer time & ride snowmobiles in the winter, I love speed! I have been doing this side gig since the spring of 2017 & have learned so incredibly much since then! I take photos of everything, because I love looking back and reliving the moments that we can’t put into words. I’m a mixture of tomboy + girly-girl all rolled into one, and I think that’s what makes me stand out from other photographers.

I can be silly but I will always be real with you. I'll get down on the ground and get dirty if needed to get the pictures that I want.  If I make you laugh during our session, well then my work is done. I want you to be able to look back on the photos I capture of you  + relive the moment over and over again!

SO... why me? I mean, that is really what you want to know-right?   You have probably spent time researching different photographers and there are quite a few similarities in most photographers work. But here is what sets me a part....

...I will bend over backwards for you to make your wedding day or photo session the best it could possibly be. I will laugh with you, make you laugh at me, and I will probably cry with you.  And you know what else? I will capture your day.  

I will capture those big moments - cue the ugly crying and I will capture those small, seemingly forgotten moments, so that when you look back at that day you can literally go back to any moment and feel the emotions: the happiness, the anxiety, the surreal feelings, and you can relish it all over again.

Sure, I take photos. but more accurately...

𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.

I've tagged along on dates, captured proposals, documented weddings, & celebrated milestones.

I've been among the first to know when mom found out she was expecting.

I've cried with guests at weddings.  I've been welcomed into your homes.

I've been sworn to secrecy as the keeper of the gender.

I've befriended the littles & witnessed them grow.

I've collaborated & celebrated with new entrepreneurs & watched their business grow & thrive.

I've witnessed girls and women of all ages embrace their natural beauty.

I've captured smiles, tears, little moments, and unforgettable memories.

I've dedicated my life to using a camera & a lens to help you 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 - showcasing the things you 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 the most and the 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 that define you and 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲.

I look forward to working with you & capturing some magic!
