I love the beauty of simplicity + the reality of a photograph. My organic style of fine art photography captures the sweet, authentic, FUN people that my clients are!
I am married to the love of my life Zac and we live in happy chaos with our 3-year-old twins and two scrappy mutts along Lake Michigan's shores just north of Milwaukee. I am a lover of design (especially midcentury everything), all shades of orange, nostalgia, sushi, the 60s + 70s, the woods/up norths/A-frames, crazy dogs, shooting film, and most of all, my FAMILY!
I adore what I do and feel truly honored to be a part of my clients' lives. The relationships that blossom from working together mean so much to me, and it's beyond fun keeping in touch with my clients over the years and continuing to photograph their lives and where their adventures take them!
You can also find my work in Wisconsin Bride and on other wedding blogs including Green Wedding Shoes, A Northwoods Wedding, Middle of the Map Weddings + more.
