  • My turn around time is one of my client’s favorite things!! I know it's hard to contain the excitement of having your photos after a session, that's why it's so important to me to get them back to you quickly. Any digitals you purchase are available to you after our reveal session which is typically 3-7 days after our session. And any products like albums or wall art is to you typically with in two weeks of our reveal. No long waits here!

  • I specialize in capturing authentic emotion! Clients come to me when they are looking for more than stiff poses and on cue smiles. I photograph couples & engagements, boudoir, families, maternity, newborns, and seniors. I only take a select few weddings each year, however, these are reserved for previous clients or clients booking an engagement session with me.

  • I accept Cash, Credit/Debit Cards. I also know that this experience is an investment and therefore I offer several different payment plan options.

    Option 1: Pre-payment payment plans. You can split up the cost of any products or collections with our interest free in-house payment plan and make monthly, weekly, or bi-weekly payments leading up to our session.

    Option 2: Or you can get financing through one of our payment plan companies:

    Paypal Credit. Paypal Later. Affirm Virtual Card.

  • My clients find booking their session 3-6 months in advance is perfect. That way you have a more flexible choice of dates and it's great timing to spread out a payment plan to work in your budget and earn amazing free products or bonus sets to your session! If you are wanting photos by a special date, at least 4-5 weeks prior to a special date or occasion is needed. Looking for something last minute? Reach out, let’s see what we can do!

  • Photo sessions are so much more than snapping a few photos. It’s the way we preserve the memories we love and want to hold on to. It’s the way we document our story before it changes and evolves. I believe our photos are one of our most valued treasures, and it’s important to me you have a wonderful experience capturing those memories! Communication, ease, and fun are at the forefront of what I do. Truly this will be an experience like you’ve never had before and will forever cherish!

  • To be totally honest, most of my clients utilize my AMAZING Client Closet - 99% of what you see women (& infants) wearing in my portrait and boudoir images belong to the studio!!! You are more than welcome to wear something of your own. Either way you’ll have my exclusive Style Guide which has my tips, color pallets for easy coordinating, and so much more! I am always here for ideas and will be walking you through EVERYTHING as well! But truly, my client closet has so many options to make your dream shoot a reality!

  • I do not put a hard time limit on sessions. I never want you distracted by time or worried we are running out of it. But for planning purposes here’s what you can expect session times to be approximately:

    Boudoir sessions include hair & make up; so those sessions are approximately 2.5-3 hours in total.

    Newborn sessions I say plan for approximately two hours since we go at baby's pace, stopping when they need to be fed or soothed.

    Senior sessions are approximately two hours with travel to a variety of locations.

    All other sessions are approximately 45-75 minutes.

    *I do not offer mini sessions. I offer a full luxury experience all the way from planning, to the session itself, and even after, that doesn’t happen in 15 minutes. (PS: If you think you need a mini session to keep kids from being bored, I promise with how I approach session you don’t. Kids are usually asking to stay and “play” longer!) Reach out and I can tell you more!

  • Absolutely! Many client chose to travel to me. But I do travel as well. From all over Wisconsin, the Midwest, the United States, and even out of the country to bring my magic for those looking for more from their photos. There is a $0.65/mile cost for travel outside of the greater Wausau area or the cost of airfare travel and hotel stay for farther locations. Reach out and we can plan!
