I live with my fantastic hubs, my two daughters, his two kiddos, a dog named Pickles, and a cat that hides a lot. It's a little bit chaotic, but I think that's actually how I work best. I like intensity, freedom, humor, and most of all LOVE. For over ten years I have been shooting weddings, families, newborns, and engagements (I photograph boudoir too, but that's showcased elsewhere).
My photographic style: I pride myself on capturing candid, authentic images that show people in their natural state. We are all sometimes beautiful, sometimes awkward, sometimes silly (but, ya know, I won't send you the super awkward photos!). Right as summer was winding down, my friend Jenn and I organized a weekend of art, nature, and play.

Services
Yes, email me about custom packages and we can work out details! I have my package pricing here, but you are more than welcome to be in touch about your needs and photography dreams- I have made custom packages for MANY a client. A DECADE! It's shocking to me that it's been so long. I shot my first wedding when my youngest daughter was 6 weeks old and haven't put my camera down since.
Right as summer was winding down, my friend Jenn and I organized a weekend of art, nature, and play for a group of women. We camped on a property in the woods, on the edge of the Wisconsin River. Late August sun beating down, crickets chirping, lightning strikes in the distance at night, goldenrod and black-eyed Susans slowly turning brown.
As some of you know, my brain is wired for play and goofiness. I love having quirky photoshoots with Neil (my husband) which are a little bit.different. The most recent photoshoot was all Neil's idea. Neil is funny, supportive, and equally as playful as I am (but a little more secretly). This shoot involved us rollerblading around the parking lot of Michaels Frozen Custard in Madison.
These 2 love birds live here in Madison, Wisconsin but are getting married next year on the east coast. We met up at Yahara park to take photos and I kept my distance. It was so nice to be outside taking photos again! Spring is my favorite time to take photos! Everyone is so happy to be back outside, the new green is my favorite color, and spring light has a special warmth that I love.
If you're in need of a cuteness-overload distraction then you have come to the right place! This newborn session was so stinking adorable. The older daughter was so in love with "her baby" that she cried when her mama held the baby!
Here's the things I loveeeee about newborn sessions: the newness of the baby, the tenderness of the family, the very special quiet and tired energy that falls over a family (though its notably different when a toddler is around!).It just all feels very special and fleeting and I'm so honored to be allowed into a family's new tender, quiet, tired time.

I had such a wonderful experience working with Maureen. I had a boudoir session done and in the end the pictures we absolutely fabulous. Maureen was a gem from the first conversation. She knows exactly how to put your mind at ease and make you feel comfortable. I knew exactly what to expect when it came time do the photoshoot; I felt comfortable being honest with her about any anxiety or really anything on my mind. During the shoot she pumped me up and made me feel like a super model. In the end she delivered me a gorgeous product very quickly ( I was in a time crunch). I could not recommend this

Maureen was incredible to work with and captured the most beautiful photos from our wedding day! She made us feel at ease and did a great job helping us create and execute a timeline for our day. We can’t wait to hang her beautiful work all over our house! If you’re looking for a fun, easy to work with photographer who produces amazing photos, Maureen is our recommendation!

Maureen is among the rarest of photographers: one whose natural enthusiasm and energy reflects back onto her subjects as she works. So you get more than simply beautiful photos; you also get the memory of a fun collaboration with a kindred spirit. Who else could make us look forward to photo shoots so much? Thank you Maureen: your work is gorgeous, and your spirit is a gift.

I recently had a boudoir shoot with Maureen and cannot sing her praises enough! When I first booked the shoot, she really took an interest in my personal reasons for having the photos taken and sent me a lot of information about what to expect, what to wear, etc. I was a little nervous going in, but she was so personable that my nerves faded away instantly. The shoot ended up being so much fun! Maureen was so professional and encouraging throughout the entire experience. Her studio was comfortable, private and had lots of good options for posing and photos. All of the photos were sent to me for

I have so many great things to say about Maureen! We just adore her. We weren't even going to do engagement photos, but we decided it would be nice to have some non-wedding pictures that felt more natural. I'm a journalist and videographer, so I knew that I needed to find somebody creative, who would do so much more than the "couple smiling at the camera" type photos. Otherwise I would be backseat-driving the whole time! And she just nailed it. One of our most cherished activities together is going for long walks, so we wanted our photos to feel like a photographer just captured us in those moments

Maureen was absolutely incredible to work with. I was so nervous to do a boudoir shoot because it is so out of my normal confidence zone but she made it so much fun, so natural, and so easy! By the end of the shoot, I felt so empowered and had a new love for my body. If you are even considering working with Maureen, I hope you contact her and take the next steps- she was a beautiful person and took the most beautiful pictures! I am SO happy that I had the chance to work with her and would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Maureen did an amazing job at our wedding! She has such a fun, outgoing, unique, and awesome personality and energy that matched us and our wedding perfectly. She was always in the moment, and we really appreciated how she would do anything necessary to get the perfect shot while still making us feel comfortable. She is fearless and out there, and we loved every second of it! It seriously felt as if she was just an extension of the wedding party joining in and adding to the fun of the event. We got endless compliments that our photographer was the best, and they couldn’t have been more right
