Hi and hello!
I'm Adeline.
After five wonderful years photographing weddings, I'm excited to be focusing my work on portraits.
My passion has always been capturing genuine connection, authentic personalities, and the little moments that make people who they are.
Whether it's a couple celebrating a new chapter, a growing family, or simply documenting this season of life, I strive to create images that feel natural, timeless, and true to you.
Based in Wisconsin and serving the Fox Valley and beyond, I believe the best photographs come from meaningful experiences rather than stiff poses.
My goal is to make every session relaxed, enjoyable, and filled with the kind of moments you'll want to look back on for years to come.
Why I do this
At the heart of it, I do this because photographs matter. They help us hold onto seasons of life that pass far too quickly, and they become more meaningful with every year that goes by.
As someone who has never particularly enjoyed being in front of the camera, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to be photographed. That's why creating a comfortable, low-pressure experience is just as important to me as creating beautiful images. I want you to leave your session feeling seen, confident, and maybe even a little surprised by how much fun you had.
My hope is that years from now, you'll look back on your photos and remember more than how they looked—you'll remember how it felt. The laughter, the connection, the excitement of a new chapter, or simply the joy of being together. I want the experience of being photographed to be a happy memory in itself.
How I work
After enthusiastically introducing myself, I'll probably start chatting with you like we're old friends and ask a few questions that sound suspiciously like I'm conducting an interview while leading you toward the nearest patch of good light.
The good news is that my goal isn't to make you feel like you're in a photoshoot—it's to make you forget you're in one. I'll guide you every step of the way so you can relax, have fun, and leave with photos that actually feel like you.
Whether you're naturally comfortable in front of the camera or already worried about what you're going to do with your hands, I've got you covered. I don't expect you to know how to pose or perform. Instead, I'll give you gentle direction, a few prompts, and plenty of encouragement while leaving room for genuine moments to unfold naturally.
Some of the best photos happen in between the poses—the laughter after a joke, the way you look at someone you love, or the quiet moments when you forget the camera is there. My job is to create a space where those moments can happen and to preserve them in a way that feels honest, timeless, and true to you.
Fun Facts about me
I'm pretty obsessed with plants. The appearance of a new leaf is enough to make my entire day, and I can spend an embarrassing amount of time admiring a plant that's doing absolutely nothing interesting to anyone else.
I also have a slight thrifting habit. Every so often I go into what I can only describe as thrifting withdrawal and find myself wandering the aisles of a second-hand shop in search of old pottery, unique treasures, or something I definitely didn't know I needed until I saw it.
My favorite place, though, is home. Give me a cozy space, a house full of plants, my cat Cosmo nearby, and one of my comfort shows playing in the background, and I'm perfectly content. Most days you'll find me tending to my growing plant collection, listening to music, or finding little ways to make my home feel even more welcoming than it already is.
Can't wait to meet you
