WILD PINES Photography

Meet Your Photographer

Let's start with the classic "small-town girl with big dreams" trope. I grew up beneath the pines on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, where my days were filled with hanging out with farm cats and experimenting with "artsy" photos on my digital camera. Photography has been a constant companion since I can remember, and now I get to capture the beauty of all of you incredible people as my job - talk about a dream come true! Mixed with my love for travel and new adventures, life is pretty amazing. When I'm not working, you can find me enjoying a glass of wine, a cheeseboard, and laughter with my best friends, exploring the world's hidden gems, or soaking up every precious moment with my adorable nephew.

Your Moments Matter

It's more than just hiring someone to snap a few photos. I'm not here to just check a box or follow fleeting trends-although those can be fun perks! I'm driven by a passion to help you bring your vision to life and preserve those cherished moments for years to come. Whether you're celebrating a love story on a mountaintop or reminiscing on your grandparents' farm, I'm there to capture it all because these memories are too precious to miss.

How It Works

My process is designed to be seamless and fun:

1. Inquire: Start by reaching out! You can say hello through my website, and I'll get back to you within 24-48 hours with pricing details and availability. Once we've nailed down the dates, we'll secure your session with a contract and a retainer. For my wedding clients, before we dive into contracts and logistics, let's get to know each other! We can grab coffee, have a virtual chat, or even go for an after-work drink - your choice! It's important that you feel comfortable with me as your third wheel on your big day.

2. Planning: Let's get this party started! I'll provide you with a wealth of resources and guidance to prepare for your session. Together, we'll schedule an engagement session (for my wedding couples), craft a timeline that works for you, and answer any questions you might have along the way. You can always reach out via text, email, or phone call for updates, reassurance, or just to chat!

3. The Big Day: This is your time to shine! Focus on soaking in every moment, laughing, dancing, and celebrating the day you envision. Trust that I'm there to capture all the beauty and emotion unfold naturally.

4. Delivery: After the magic fades, the wait begins - but it's worth it! I'll always share sneak peeks within a couple of days, and your full gallery will be delivered within a timeframe we'll discuss.
