This is what summer at the lake feels like.

Found this old favorite of the Walsh kids from Okoboji, 2013, and it still makes me smile. Kids in the water, no overthinking, everyone a little sun-soaked and happy. And Charlie's mask, priceless.

I’m opening a limited number of Okoboji family portrait sessions this summer. If your family will be together at the lake, message me today and we’ll choose the best date before the calendar fills.

Some people carry a lot of light.
Beth is one of them.

For her portrait session, we leaned into something quieter: polish, depth, and presence.

That is the beauty of custom portraits. They can honor the parts of you people already know, and reveal the parts you are ready for them to see.

I’m opening a limited number of $249 Celebration Sessions for families, seniors, brand and personal portraits. Grab yours.

Fully guided, in studio or on location. Artwork and images selected separately.
