I'm a natural light film & digital wedding & lifestyle photographer. I have been photographing since 2004 out of Wisconsin, the greater Chicago area, & now throughout Pennsylvania. I like to incorporate multiple types of film cameras (Mamiya 645 medium, Rolleiflex medium, Canon 35mm, & vintage Polaroids) to create a nostalgic look. I love to capture simplicity, romance, purity, & emotion in people & all the little details that bring a story to life. I want to portray timeless photography that will become a family heirloom.
My work has been published on the front cover & in Brava magazine, Ruffled, Style Me Pretty, Southern Weddings, Wisconsin Bride, A Northwoods Wedding, Broadway Paper, & more. I also had the unique opportunity to photograph a former Green Bay Packers players wedding.

Lavender is my favorite scent besides lilacs! This was truly a breathtaking site to see since lavender doesnβt typically grow in Wisconsin climates. It looked like we were in France! Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin is such a beautiful island to visit. We took a ferry with our car on it to get there which was so much fun! Door County is one of my favorite places to spend the summer. Fragrant Isle is a lavender farm, shop, & bakery with pick your own bundles of lavender right in the fields. I canβt wait to go back there again!
This sweet intimate wedding was so simple & beautiful! Riley said she wanted to have the whole day feel as if it was a dinner with family not a wedding. There were only about 30 guests & no wedding party. The simplicity made it all about them as a couple! The wedding & reception took place in the historic Kohler Companyβs The American Club hotel in Kohler, Wisconsin. Every single place in this hotel is beautiful to photograph. Riley & Will were always laughing which made it so easy to photograph them!

Shasta from Plume Calligraphy is such an amazing talent! Iβve worked with her in the past - she purchased some antiques from my shop, Haven, to use in her styled calligraphy wedding shoots & Iβve purchased some of her wedding suites to use for styled shoots. The wooden dough bowl featured in these photos was one of those antiques she picked. Shasta is based in Minnesota so if youβre looking for someone to create timeless heirlooms for your wedding day you should definitely check her work out!
This wedding was one of my favorites! Liz is a very sweet person & their love for each other was so amazing to see! There were so many beautiful details to capture! Liz is a horticulturist so her & her relatives created the florals. The wedding took place at an old stone church in the countryside with the reception on her family's farm. They even renovated an old canned ham camper to stay in after the reception around their familyβs pond!
