Dog-obsessed, toddler-chasing, Wisconsin photographer. Building a life and business so I never miss Cora’s bedtime. Real laughs, zero drama, photos that actually look like you.
Behind the Lens
Some things you should know:
I learned sarcasm from my mom and I’m not afraid to use it.
Laid-back, drama-free, and if you can’t laugh at yourself (or let me roast the drunk groomsman), we probably won’t vibe.
Fetch is still life (Milo the yellow lab runs this house), but these days I’m usually covered in toddler snacks and negotiating with a tiny dictator named Cora.
I also have a Ben — 11 years of keeping me grounded, driving me insane, and making me laugh harder than anyone. (Ask me about the bees, the maple syrup obsession, or the old-man glasses. The man’s a walking YouTube channel.)
Free time is basically a myth now, but when it magically appears you’ll find me on the porch with a hard cider, binging Netflix with Ben, or outside chasing Cora and Milo until we all collapse.

About Me
So many things, but I do love seeing all the tiny details that my couples add to their big day.
05 | part of my job
I love my family, but Ben is my main guy, and together we have the most amazing tiny human. Coralynn.
04 | Humans
Camping and exploring new places with my dog Milo! And now, I can't wait to introduce baby Cora to the adventures!
03 | Pasttime
Call me a basic white girl, but I do love my knock off UGGS and a grande java chip frappuccino from Starbucks. But also The Lion King is my jam, and I bought a coffee table specifically knowing it would be great to do puzzles on.
02 | Guilty pleasures
I absolutely love to travel, sitesee, hike, and explore. I don't get to do it nearly enough. It also means I'm always down for a destination wedding...

My Favorite Things:
Does this sound like you?
Then lets chat!
You’re the bride who’d rather shotgun a beer with your wedding party than do another “tilt-your-head” pose.
The senior girl who swears she’s awkward but secretly wants to feel like a total badass.
The mama who’s crying because her baby is suddenly in that last year of high school.
The booster-club parent who needs dramatic stadium-light banners that make the whole town jealous.
You value real moments over Pinterest perfection, you trust me to handle the details (and the drunk groomsmen), and you just want photos that feel like YOU—whether that’s in a letter jacket, a wedding dress, or muddy cleats.
If you’re down for sarcasm, hard cider, and galleries that make you ugly-cry happy tears… we’re probably a perfect match.
My people laugh loud, swear a little, and don’t want to fake a single smile.
What about you?
