Hi, I’m Maren.
I’ve been photographing people across Central Wisconsin for twelve years — weddings, growing families, founders building something. My style is warm and unfussy: I’d rather catch the real laugh than pose the perfect one. You’ll leave a session feeling like yourself, and a few weeks later you’ll get a gallery you actually want to print.
Let’s plan your session →From hello to your gallery.
Say hello
Tell me about your people and the moment you want to remember. We’ll find a date that works.
Plan it together
Location, wardrobe, the vibe — I send a simple guide so the day feels easy, not staged.
The shoot
We have fun. I direct just enough to keep it relaxed and catch the in-between moments.
Your gallery
A hand-edited online gallery within two weeks — download, share, and order prints right from it.
From the people in front of the lens.
“It rained on our wedding day from noon until almost five. Maren never flinched. She moved the formals under the pavilion, got the umbrella photo that now hangs over our couch, and stayed late for the sunset that finally showed up. Our gallery came twelve days later.”
“Our four-year-old refused to wear shoes. Maren said lose the shoes. That barefoot picture is the one everybody asks about.”
“She shot headshots for all nine of us in one afternoon and somehow nobody looks like a hostage. The what-to-wear note ahead of time saved us, and the gallery was in our inbox within the week.”
Let’s make something you’ll keep.
Pick a session and a time that works — I’ll confirm within a day. Central Wisconsin & beyond; travel by request.
