If you LOVE the show Friends, have a sweet tooth for gelato, and a small obsession with flowers--we are definitely soul sisters. As your photographer, I am completely obsessed with doing what I love; which means documenting the ones you love. 

I am a couple & senior portrait photographer based out of Appleton and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Photography was one of those things that I thought would forever be a hobby. I went to school for Architectural design and absolutely loved it. Now, I have the privilege of incorporating my architectural background as a technique in my photography style. Welcome to my virtual home! I truly hope we meet soon!      

Hello there! I'm Lainy, a big dreamer, your new best friend and photographer.

About

Hi, I'm lainy!

Whether its a coffee shop in Paris, mountains in Utah, or a lavender field on an island in Lake Michigan, you bet I will be there! Each year I do a number of travel excursions that are posted to my Instagram ahead of time. I hope I see you there this year!

There is nothing that brightens a room better than a fresh flower bouquet. I love them so much that I grow as many as I can in my backyard! Spring means all the tulips and peonies

Growing up on a small dairy farm, I always had something to photograph. Which means my pet cows and chickens got a lot of attention! This is still one of my favorite locations for portrait sessions.

Meet Bessy:
Enjoys long walks along the fence-line and photobombing all pictures taken in the pasture.

Meet Chicken #1:
Rarely found in the office. Often spotted snacking during work hours.

Meet Vixie:
(yikes that makes me a cat person!)
If you're visiting the farm for your session I can promise she will be stopping by to say hello! 

Photos don't belong on your phone.
They belong on your walls, in your wallet, and taped to your mirror forever.
