Your New Friend Behind the Camera
Celebrating people right where they are
I’m Wendy, and if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I really love people!
I’m a photographer, a mom, a wife, a coach, and a person who never met a personality quiz she didn’t like (hello, Enneagram 8). I got married later in life, had two amazing kids in quick succession, and somewhere along the way realized that photography lets me do what I love most: connect deeply with others and celebrate them right where they are.
My photography is timeless and true to color, with just enough oomph to make you say, “Dang, that’s me?” I’m not here for trendy filters or overly posed perfection. I’m here for real-life beauty—the kind that shows up in crooked toddler smiles, quiet glances between newlyweds, and the chaos and joy of family life.
You won’t find a one-size-fits-all approach here. I take the time to get to know you, guide you through the whole process, and make sure you actually enjoy being in front of the camera (yes, it’s possible!).
What It’s Like to Work With Me
My sessions are rooted in connection, joy, and real-life moments (awkwardness included). You don’t need to have it all together. You don’t need to practice your smile in the mirror. You just need to show up, as you are. I'll take care of the rest.
Whether we’re running through a field with your wild toddlers, celebrating your senior year, or capturing the “just married” glow, I’ll guide you with calm confidence and a whole lot of heart. My goal is always the same: for you to walk away with images that feel totally you.
Photography isn’t just about pretty pictures, it’s about helping people feel seen. I’m here to celebrate you, and maybe even surprise you by how good it can feel in front of the camera.
So if you’re looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend, who gets it, who cheers you on—you’re in the right place.
