I have loved taking pictures since I was a kid. But when I became a mom in 2001, capturing authentic, meaningful photos of my firstborn, and then my second child became an obsession. As my kids grew older, I upgraded from my simple point-and-shoot camera to a professional-grade DSLR with both zoom and prime lenses, working my way from auto to manual mode, honing my skills with lighting, composition, posing and editing along the way.

In 2015 I took a leap of faith and started my own business. In the beginning I dabbled in lots of different types of portrait photography – newborns, kids, families, headshots – but quickly discovered my passion was working with high school seniors. Whether they are more reserved, outgoing, sporty, artsy or a combination of all those things and more, I simply love getting to know them and capturing photos that are a true reflection of the unique person they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

what do your sessions cost?

there are three session options that start at only $200

where are you located?

I live in Mequon, WI so shoot mainly in Ozaukee, Washington and Milwaukee counties, but am open to traveling to other areas of the state. Over the years I have photographed seniors from Homestead (Mequon-Thiensville), Cedarburg, Grafton, Menomonee Falls, Brown Deer, Shorewood, Nicolet and Whitefish Bay High Schools. Both my kids graduated from Homestead, so in their honor I extend a few special perks to all "Mighty Highlanders" that book with me

when should I book my session?

the sooner the better! yearbook deadlines can be as early as October for some schools. June, July & August are my busiest months, not only because the weather in Wisconsin is a bit more cooperative in summer, it is also much easier to schedule a session when there are no academic or athletic schedules to work around. I am currently booking seniors graduating in 2026

what's included in the session?

shoot time at location(s) of your choice, fully edited photos in private, online gallery and print-quality downloads. Session length and amount of clothing changes, locations and downloads vary based on which session option is booked. I also will take care of submitting your chosen photo to your yearbook staff if you wish
