I am passionate about not only giving teens incredible images of themselves and creating a once in a lifetime experience but I also love creating art that is full of authenticity and emotion. We are so much more than what we wear and how we look. I want to show you how amazing you are both inside and out.
You are sitting on the edge of adulthood and this is such a special time in your life. I want to create something unforgettable and completely unique to you.

I AM A
Welcome! I’m Jolene and I LOVE that you’re here! You are likely here because something in my work has resonated with you. As an artist, I can't tell you how happy that makes me because I truly love what I do.
This is a moment you've waited for most of your life. You are going to have so much fun throughout the entire process! My clients always tell me how much they loved their session experience and wish that they could do it all over again! I can't wait to start planning all of the details for your shoot and show the world who you are, with my camera.

Jolene.

Questions? Send me a message via the contact form on my site! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Once your session is booked you will be receiving lots of information to help you prepare for you shoot. Outfit recommendations, location ideas and more.
IT’S YOUR DAY.
I believe that the experience of having your portrait made is as important as the photos themselves. No need to worry about what to do or where to look. I will coach you on poses and expressions the entire time. All you need to do is show up and be prepare for fun!
THE BIG REVEAL!
Your final images will be ready to view 2-3 weeks after your shoot at your ordering session. We’ll watch a killer slideshow and go through your images as many times as you need to. I’ll help you narrow down your favorites and then you’ll choose which products to order!

FAQ
Once you’ve booked your session you will be receiving a questionnaire as well as a prep guide that will help you in regards to outfits and location options.
What should I wear?
Absolutely! In fact, I shoot all of my Senior Session exclusively on-location.
I WANT MY PICTURES TO BE ALL OUTSIDE. IS THAT OK?
I typically wait until a few hours before your shoot is scheduled to make the call due to weather. We all know how Wisconsin weather can be! If we are unable to shoot, we will reschedule for another day.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
I will coach you on what to do, where to look and when to smile. I am a sticker for details and I'll make sure your hair looks great! All you need to do is have fun and relax!
HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT TO DO?
As soon as your session is done, we'll schedule your Viewing/Ordering Consultation for about 2 weeks later. Your Ordering Consultation is when you will make all of your choices and place your order. Anyone who wants to be a part of the decision making process should plan to attend.
WHEN WILL I SEE MY PICTURES?
I started my business in 1999, right after my oldest daughter was born. Some of my very first Seniors are now married with three or more children!
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS?
A non-refundable, $250 Retainer is paid at the time of booking to hold your session date and time. The remainder of your session is due by the day of your session. Soon after you book, you will receive an online invoice, due by your session date. You can pay your balance online or bring it with you to the session.

ALEXA
"Jolene is fun, flexible, and really has an eye for what she does. Even before the photo sessions she gets to know her clients and is very helpful with picking outfits, jewelry, and locations. Jolene has a very quick turnaround which is a BIG deal. When you pick out your photos she provides a professional and fun atmosphere. I am thrilled with how my senior pictures turned out, they are unique, fun, and don't feel posed or over edited. My senior session was a fun and memorable experience!"
AVERY
"Both of my parents, along with myself, were incredibly impressed with how each picture turned out and the experience as a whole. Jolene really did create pictures that will last a life time, and I couldn't thank her enough for such an easy going, enjoyable, and rewarding experience."
HEATHER (KAYLA'S MOM)
"Thanks Jolene. I can't tell you enough how happy we are that we went with you for Kayla's senior pictures. My mind is still blown by the number of simply fantastic images that you captured that show much more of her than what's on the outside. You have a tremendous gift."
KESANG
"You also have NO idea how many people have stopped me in the halls at school, texted me, and messaged me on Facebook to tell me how much they LOVE my pictures!!! I couldn't be any happier with them! People have also commented on how good of a photographer I must have had! Thank you!!"
LEXI
"Jolene did an awesome job with my senior pictures and it was such a fun time! She is so talented at what she does and I enjoyed finding great places around town to take the pictures. I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else for my senior pictures!"
KELLI (SYDNEY'S MOM)
"Thank you soooo much for the awesome experience and Senior Pics you did for Sydney!!! The compliments just keep coming!!!! You have a gift for sure!"
