with a soft spot for tall swaying pines, lakeside moments, and capturing the beautiful season you're in
inspired by the moments that make up their day-to-day lives. Wonderful humans who believe that genuine moments > insta-perfect portraits. These are the people the people that make my heart skip a beat.
My philosophy is this: Life is made up of seasons, chapters, and moments. Some are bold and find their way to the spotlight, while others are understated and a bit muted. I believe all seasons of life are powerful and deserve to be documented. My current season? Raising three spirited little humans, building up this dream business of mine, prioritizing my. health, spending every spare minute in my cut flower garden, and drinking bottomless cups of coffee to (try and) accomplish it all.
What does your season look like? Are you soaking up newborn snuggles and memorizing those little fingers and toes? Are you launching a new business that's been on your heart? Are you settling in to the home of your dreams or off chasing big adventure?
I want to walk alongside and document this chapter with you. Photography is about turning a feeling or a moment into something tangible. Something you can hold in your hands. My hope is for each and every image to transport you. To remind you of how you felt in the moments that embodied that season. In a way that will stand the test of time and allow for grandchildren to dust off images, be transported themselves, and look in awe of moments years passed.
I’m glad you’re here to follow along, share your story with me, and hear a bit of my own. Stick around and you can expect a lot of heart-sharing, dream-chasing, and positivity-overload from this point forward.
A fresh take on a summer lifestyle session. Filled with strawberry field-wandering, grassy-field picnicking, and some pretty big smiles!
A laid-back, relaxed family session wandering through the woods at Hartman Creek State Park in Central Wisconsin.
I'm a slow-moment savoring, coffee-drinking, homebody. Most days you can find me 'momming' at home to my 3 kiddos, wandering about my flower garden, wandering down to the lake, or whipping up a batch of muffins in the kitchen!
I challenge myself to create adventure in the ordinary, but am always dreaming of travel to faraway places. I'm all about camping under starry skies along the Lake Superior shoreline, but my bucket list includes: Alaska, Maine, Oregon, and more national parks than I can fit in this text box.
Put me in front of a crackling fire with a fresh book cracked open, an oversized sweatshirt, and fuzzy socks and I'll be my very happiest self.
However- I've been known to enjoy a long hike through towering pines, some crisp mountain air, and exploring a new waterfall or two.
In my book - not much beats a glass of dry red wine, your closest gal pals, some belly laughs, and a solid night in.
EXCEPT - an invitation to sit around a crackling campfire on a mid-summers night, a blue moon in hand (fresh orange slice, please), and the other laced with my sweet hubby's.
You're nestled up by a fire at your family cabin, lakeside, with only the stars to accompany your sweet conversation over hot cocoa and Blue Moon.
Family, friends, and twinkle lights. Windblown hair. Hiking boots for adventurous photography. Cozy moments for just the two of you.
A dirty hem from dancing and making memories...
and smiles you just can't wipe off your faces.
