Hey Friend, I'm Casey!
The face behind Chasing Lilies Photography, your biggest hype girl, and hopefully your new photographer BFF.
I'm based in Appleton, Wisconsin, but if there's love to celebrate, I'm always up for an adventure. For over 16 years, I've been specializing in wedding photography and capturing the moments that make your story uniquely yours—the belly laughs, happy tears, forehead kisses, dance floor chaos, and all the little moments you'll want to hold onto forever.
Photography has always been about so much more than pretty pictures. It's about people. It's about connection. It's about creating an experience where you feel comfortable enough to be fully yourself so the real moments can happen naturally.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me spending time with my amazing husband, our wonderfully blended family of five kids, our crazy dog, tending to my garden, dreaming up bold and bright decorating ideas, or searching for my next all-you-can-eat sushi adventure.
A Few Fun Facts About Me
💛 Enneagram Type 2 — The Helper
Taking care of people is just who I am. It’s probably why you'll find me calming nerves, fixing veils, fluffing dresses, solving little problems, and making sure everyone feels loved and cared for on a wedding day.
🍣 Sushi is my love language.
Especially when it's all-you-can-eat. (Seriously... if you have a favorite spot, I need to know!)
☕ Coffee order: Triple shot of espresso over ice.
No fancy flavors—I'm just here for the caffeine!
🏀 Detroit Pistons fan
Basketball season is always a fun time in our house.
🌈 I love bold, bright, colorful spaces.
Whether it’s my home, my photography, or everyday life, I believe a little personality makes everything better.
Most people describe me as energetic, spunky, and the person who walks into a room and makes people feel comfortable. I bring a big personality, a lot of encouragement, and a whole lot of excitement to every wedding and session.
Basically... I'm here to make sure you have just as much fun taking your photos as you do looking back at them.
I'm your hype girl, your calm in the chaos, and the person cheering you on from behind the camera. I'll guide you when you need direction, encourage you when you need confidence, and help you forget that the camera is even there.
Because here's the thing—most people don't feel like professional models. And honestly? I don't want you to.
I want the real you.
The way you laugh when your partner says something ridiculous. The way your family squeezes you a little tighter. The little moments that happen naturally when you're surrounded by the people you love.
That's where the magic happens.
And here's something you might not expect: before photography became my full-time career, I served in the military. That experience gave me an incredible eye for organization, preparation, and the tiny details that matter. On a wedding day, it means staying calm when things get hectic, keeping things running smoothly, and noticing the moments others might miss.
At Chasing Lilies Photography, you're never just another booking on my calendar. You're a person, a story, and a moment in life worth celebrating.
Whether I'm photographing your wedding, engagement session, family, senior, branding, or boudoir experience, my goal is for you to feel seen, celebrated, and genuinely cared for.
Because years from now, I don't just want you to remember what your day looked like.
I want you to remember exactly how it felt.
So if you're looking for beautiful, timeless photographs, genuine laughs, a photographer who will hype you up like your best friend, and someone who may absolutely tear up during your vows...
I have a feeling we're going to be a pretty perfect match. 💛
