Hi! I’m Mariah! Nice to meet you!
As a busy wife and mother of two fiery, red-haired daughters, I find joy in the simple things in life. A hot cup of coffee in a peaceful moment. A tidy and organized kitchen after a busy day. Daily routines that involve time for my faith, homeschooling our girls, physical movement and strength training, as well as all the other aspects of life. Date nights seem to happen too few and far in between, but we love celebrating our 16 years of marriage (so far!). We love living near Appleton, Wisconsin, in our little “neck of the woods” and tend to spend our extra time outdoors, with family, at the lake with friends, or often reading books.
I love spending time with families and getting to know you throughout the process. Photographically, I blend traditional posing styles with a modern, photojournalistic feel. This means we usually do a variety of posed shots and more relaxed, fun ideas. I believe it takes a true professional to work with simple posing to give you a final portrait that you'll fall in love with.
Many moons ago, I completed an AAA in Professional Photography, with specializations in Portrait and Wedding; I also took the Top Portrait Portfolio award in my graduating class. Since then, I’ve owned and operated my own business throughout varying stages of life and photo specializations since 2010. I now specialize in families, large-group families, and high-school seniors. You also might see me out and about on Saturdays during wedding season associate- and second-shooting for other area photographers.
Let's chat and check off the "schedule portrait session" that's been sitting on your to-do list for way too long!
