I Have Many Passions, Photography is One of Them.

 

Among taking photographs, I find myself spending a lot of time outside. I have a deep love for nature and feeling connected to something larger than myself.


Over the past few years, I've taken on the role of being a single mom to my beautiful daughter Olive, and my best friend Boo-Boo. 🐕‍🦺 You'll often find us sitting on the porch, listening to the birds. It's one of our favorite spots to bond.


I find so much joy in photographing families. Getting to know the kids, styling outfits, picking beautiful spots to explore - your session should feel like a fun experience, and it's my goal to make that happen for you!


My Editing Style

You can expect your photos to have a good blend of color and warmth with a well-balanced feel. I love to play with tones, and at times may adjust clothing color to create the best images.

SOFT SPOKEN WORDS

 

 

THE BLANCHARD FAMILY

Madison, WI

 

Whitney has taken photos for me a number of times and I have always been over the moon with her work! Our last session was to celebrate my dogs birthday. I forgot how frustrating taking pictures with animals can be and she helped me remain calm and go with the flow. We ended up with so many wonderful shots and I can not wait for future photos with her!

 

THE LAMMERT FAMILY

Fitchburg, WI

 

My family has been taking pictures with Whitney since the summer of 2022. We have LOVED every session and feel incredibly THANKFUL for the images she has captured for each unique season of our life! Whitney is warm and welcoming! And she captures our family just as we are. We love her style of photography with our young kids.


We love how comfortable she makes each of our kids feel and how comfortable she can make the adults feel too. She works with whatever energy our 5-year-old, almost 3-year-old, and newborn baby throw at us. If our energetic 2-year-old needs to throw some rocks in the water near where we are taking pictures, then she will capture our family near the water and even get some shots of our guy throwing rocks. Her photography showcases the realness of our family and will be precious memories I will cherish forever. This style of photography often produces beautiful, natural smiles from our kiddos rather than the big "cheese" smiles we typically get when we take pictures of our kids with our phones.


I often feel unsure of what I am supposed to do or how to stand in pictures. But Whitney has a great way of guiding me through the session to get beautiful images without me feeling awkward. She is able to capture the natural moments that happen with our family and get some more typical family portraits as well. I love the variety of images we get with each session. Beautiful pictures of everyone looking at the camera and the real images that will remind me of what life was like for that specific time.


We are already looking forward to our next session with Whitney!!


THE KOLCZASKI FAMILY

Waterloo, WI

Whitney does an amazing job of capturing authentic and genuine moments! She has taken our family photos a couple of times now and we are so happy with how they turn out each time! She has such creative ideas and does a beautiful job editing the photos! We are so great full to her for taking such care when capturing such special family moments!
