Hi, I'm Whit, a Madison, WI family photographer specializing in capturing authentic moments and emotional storytelling.

My love for Photography started from my passion to show others what matters most in life. I felt stuck at a corporate job at the age of 26, having just bought a house and planning for a wedding that I wasn’t ready for. Life was happening quicker then I imagined, and the stress of it all was more than I could handle. So I did what any sane person would do, I sold all my belongings, bought a camera, and hit the road in a camper, seeking freedom and a deeper connection to family life.

As we traveled and I captured, my love for living on the road grew. Little did I know that dream would soon take an unexpected turn.

A few months into our new lifestyle, I woke up feeling incredibly sick. When we stopped at a gas station on our way out to the Yuma Desert, I came out with a positive pregnancy test. There was nothing that could prepare us for what was to come.

As we sat in the desert day after day, with nothing but wild donkeys and tumbleweeds surrounding us, my morning sickness worsened. I attempted to rest while figuring out our next steps but being enclosed in a camper in the middle of nowhere while pregnant was one of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever had.

Sam, on the other hand, was living his best life—shirt off, bandana on his head, roaming the wild land. I hated to leave, knowing how much he loved it, but we both knew we’d need a lot of help raising a child.

After seven days, we decided it was time to head back to Madison. I wasn’t ready to leave, nor did I want to return to living in the Midwest, but I knew we needed to establish a stable environment for our growing family.

So, Wisconsin it was. After our little girl was born, my love for photography grew even more. Capturing her moments and milestones gave me purpose in more ways than I can count.

Family photography brings me so much joy because it continuously reminds me of what matters most. I learn so much from my clients, and one of the greatest gifts I've received from this journey is understanding that family can take many forms.
