Your Wisconsin family photographer, mom of four squeezable kids, and embracer of real life (because that’s where the love is!).
I photograph families who want images that feel honest, joyful, and true to who they are.
As a mom of four young children (three of whom are boys), I’ve learned not just to live with the chaos, but to truly love it.
Because at the end of the day, when your hair’s in a messy bun, someone’s missing a sock, and bedtime took three tries… what matters is the little people you get to tuck in.
I hope you never feel the need to apologize for a messy home. Mine certainly can be. Letting friends in, letting kids be kids, and sharing a meal in the middle of it all — that feels like real hospitality to me and is what brings me joy!
If you’re a mom who prefers fun over flawlessness, I would love to photograph your family in Wisconsin… real, relaxed, and genuinely you.
Hot take: toddlers are my favorite age to photograph. Yes, they’re spirited… which is exactly what makes them so funny!
As a Wisconsin family photographer for almost a decade, I take great joy in helping children (of any age) feel calm, comfortable, and fully themselves.
Whether I’m soothing a newborn to sleep or telling a toddler a joke, clients often say they can’t believe how quickly I put their whole family at ease.
My biggest advice? Just have fun. Be present. When your family is genuinely enjoying yourselves, it shows—and that’s when the best photos happen.
“Looking for the BEST family photographer? You found her! Abby is simply amazing and a master of her craft. We have used her for newborn and several family photo sessions. To top it off, she is the most kind-hearted person.”
“Hands down, Abby is the best. The photos made me cry of pure happiness. She captured my little girls perfectly, and the photos will hang on my walls for years and years to come. And even if your kiddo isn’t having it, she works through it and you will still have a gorgeous gallery! I can’t recommend her enough. Just book her and don’t think twice.”
“I love the way she uses natural light to enhance her photos… they come out looking polished and professional, yet natural and not overly posed… just perfection! She is so friendly and down-to-earth, which makes the photo sessions so much more comfortable.”
“Our session with Abby was everything we hoped it would be. We had not taken photos in over 3 years and were ready to get some of our growing family, but had no idea how that would go with a 2.5 year old and an 8-month-old. It could not have gone better! Our photos are organic, beautiful, and truly capture what our family feels like when I think of us. Abby was so sweet and bubbly from the moment we walked onto that beach, and it never ceased!”
If you’re a mom, you know. Some days, you feel like an Olympian. Other days, you feel run to the ground.
But every day, there’s a quiet gratitude that YOU get to be the one raising your children, providing for your family, and running your household like a champ.
I want you to know I see you, I feel you, and I’m cheering you on. Keep running the good race, mama!
My kids are half Korean and I’m slowly learning to cook Korean food. Progress > perfection!
Hospitality is my love language.
Our house is usually loud and full (of snacks and neighborhood kids!)
Enneagram 3.
Recovering workaholic learning that rest is actually productive.
I recently fell back in love with running and am training for a 10K this year.
Give me a twisty suspense novel and I’ll disappear for hours.
Before photography, I was a neuro rehab therapist. turns out helping humans feel comfortable has always been my thing!
Beach sessions forever.
Golden light, barefoot kids, zero stress …it’s my favorite every time.
My faith in Jesus influences everything I do, from how I run my business to how I welcome people into my home and behind my camera.
