Here's a bit about my work...
I'm an award-winning photographer based in Milwaukee, WI. I will travel the world to capture your special moments! After graduating University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2012, I begin dedicating myself to specializing in natural light, lifestyle wedding and portrait photography. Since 2012, I've photographed over 150 weddings working as a Lead Photographer and Associate Photographer in Milwaukee and Chicago.
My photography is all about genuine moments, beautiful and interesting environments, and all the feels! My photography style is earthy, warm and authentic. I'm a photographer for the laid-back, the adventurous, and the non-traditional. I'm a photographer for the dreamers, and the deeply in love couples of all kinds. If you're not used to being in front of the camera, I have a variety of ways to help you look and feel comfortable!
My recent work has taken me to Arizona, California, Colorado, Mexico, Oregon, and more. Wisconsin Bride Magazine, Milwaukee Magazine, OnMilwaukee, Liquor.com.
Here's a bit about me...
-I believe that life is an adventure and it is meant to be shared with others.
-I live in downtown Milwaukee and love it! Some of my favorite things in my neighborhood are kayaking the river, walking along the riverwalk, and the taco truck that parks on my street (yum!)
-I love to travel! I have close family in Arizona and Florida, so I get to travel often.
-I love to hike and camp with my partner, Michael (he is also one of my second photographers!)
-I love many kinds of music but some of my favorites are Caamp, Lord Huron, The Avett Brothers, Jack White, and Blink 182.
-I always want to pet all the dogs!
-In January 2022 I became a full time photographer and I'm so excited to do what I love every day!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need a second photographer at our wedding?
I recommend a second photographer for weddings with more than 15 people in the wedding party, or when I'm unable to be in two places at once (like getting ready at separate locations or cocktail hour).
Have you photographed at my venue before?
I've been a wedding photographer since 2012 and I have shot at many venues in Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago and beyond. There's a pretty good chance I've shot at your venue, or one similar. If I haven't, I LOVE photographing at new venues--Variety is the spice of life! I can also work with virtually any lighting situation. I always arrive early to check out lighting, and the best photo spots.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, I have gear insurance and liability insurance. Please let me know if your venue requires proof of my insurance.
Do you offer prints, albums, cards, gifts etc?
Yes! Every gallery will also include a built-in print shop where you can order all these things and more. All orders are printed from WCHH in their environmentally friendly facility in Eagan, MN. They are shipped right to your door!
Will you cry at my wedding?
Definitely.
