Get to know your photographer!

Midwestern.

Hey! I'm Wendy.  I have lived in Chaska for about 16 years now, and I LOVE it! I live with my bf Tim and our doggo Zoey. I have a background in childcare; preschool and middle school. I firmly believe this experience has given me the insight to capture genuine reactions out of your kiddos, and make family photo session less of a chore, and more of an adventure!

I am the photographer for you if you want your photo session to be FUN, EASY, and REAL. I am obsessed with Golden Hour, real moments between you and your family, and capturing who YOU are.

Photography philosophy

My photography style is laid back, filled with light, and marked by genuine moments & laughter. After we nail the photos with everyone looking, it's more of an adventure for your kids and, parents, you can relax.  This isn't about perfection. It's about capturing life as it is; perfectly imperfect.

The end result? Spectacular family photos!
