Jordan here. A midwestern photographer with midwestern values.

I'm a portrait photographer in the Fox Cities, shooting seniors, families, artists, and anyone with a story worth a frame across Northeast Wisconsin: Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, and the small towns in between.

Midwestern means a few things to me. Show up early. Say what you mean. Work hard in good light. Treat people like neighbors, because around here they usually are. My style is bold, fresh, and timeless, and after fifteen years behind a camera I still get a kick out of the moment someone forgets they're being photographed.

What a session feels like.

No stiff backdrops. No counting to three. We walk, we talk, we chase the light, and the real you shows up somewhere around minute ten.

The shoot

Ninety minutes · on location

We pick a place that means something to you, then let the evening do its work. You bring outfits and people you love. We bring the light, the direction, and enough patience to wait for the frame that matters.

  • Two to three locations
  • Outfit changes welcome
  • Golden-hour scheduling
  • Friends, pets, family invited
  • Posing help, no posing required
  • Rain date built in

The edit

Two weeks · hand-finished

Every delivered frame is edited by hand. Skin stays skin. Color stays true to the evening. What you get back looks like the best version of a real moment, not a filter.

  • Full hand-edited gallery
  • Color and black and white
  • Sneak peek within 48 hours
  • Private online gallery
  • Print-ready files
  • Social crops included

The keep

Forever · on paper

Phones fill up. Walls do not. We help you choose the frames that deserve to be printed, and print them the way they deserve: archival paper, real frames, made to outlast the phone they were first seen on.

  • Fine-art prints
  • Framed wall pieces
  • Graduation cards
  • Albums and folios
  • Gift prints for family
  • Print credit with every session
