I’m based in Lake Geneva but also serve as a lifestyle photographer to surrounding areas in Southern Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and really, wherever a good story takes me.
When I'm not behind the lens, I'm a wife to my husband, Scotty, and a mother to our kitties, Chester and Oliver. You can catch me with an iced tea in hand while jamming to some Ice Nine Kills. I am a nerdddd for visits to the library to self diagnosis my seemingly many health issues. Thrifting for lifeee!

What Drives My Photography: Vision, Mission, & Core Values
Real Over Perfect: The best shots aren’t staged, they just happen.
Creativity Without Rules: Blur, motion, composites. Whatever tells the best story!
Feel Something: Your photos should bring back the exact energy of that moment.
Always Be You: The more personality, the better.
Adventure + Connection: Whether it’s a Lake Geneva photography session or a road trip to the perfect backdrop, I’ll meet you where the magic happens.
These are my core values as a lifestyle photographer:
My vision is to ditch the cookie-cutter and create badass, storytelling images that turn everyday moments into something epic. Whether it’s couples photography in Lake Geneva, senior portraits in Wisconsin, or a wild family session, I’m here to capture real and authentic photos.
Krop Kreative's mission is all about breaking the rules and making art out of real life. As a Wisconsin photographer, I specialize in lifestyle photography that’s candid, creative, and full of personality. I shoot couples, seniors, mothers, and families who want more than just a pretty picture—they want an experience that feels like them. I lean into movement, blur, multiple exposures, and in-camera magic to create photos with feeling—not just ones that look good. If you’re looking for something different, let’s make some unforgettable memories together.
So basically if you're looking for a couples session in Lake Geneva, a family photographer in Wisconsin, or something totally out of the box for your senior portraits, I’d love to tell your story in a way that’s creative, unique, and full of energy. Let’s make something amazing together!
If You Are...
- A couple, senior, mother-to-be, or family who want art, not just pictures...
- Someone who loves the imperfect, the real, the authentic...
- Cool with trying something different and trust the creative process...
- Anyone who wants their story told in a way that feels bold, cinematic, and full of life...

Rest is just as important as hustle. Daily naps? Essential.
Everyone is just trying to figure it out and do their best.
Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.
