I got to spend an afternoon and evening photographing this Half Moon Lake stunner, and wow... I'm jealous of the future owner because it has everything anyone could want in a Wisconsin lake property.

It's so special that I think it deserves a few posts of its own!

It’s one of those places that feels like a true getaway but also totally livable day-to-day. I loved capturing all the little details that make it both fun and welcoming.

Oh boy, do I love me a mid-century ranch.

If I didn’t already have the 1920 Craftsman home of my dreams, I might be convincing my husband to snap up this Amery time capsule.

That great room with the fireplace? Swoon. I’d lean into the era — keep the wood paneling, bring in a sleek olive green MCM sofa, and hang a classic 1950s swag lamp to tie it all together. So. Much. Potential.

And let’s talk about that Florida Room just off the living space — it’s basically begging for summertime cocktails and late-evening lounging. The layout is smart, open, and all on one level, which makes it ideal for just about anyone looking for a home with character and soul.

They truly don’t build them like this anymore, friends. And there are very few MCM houses around here that come up for sale, so if you've been holding out for one, here's your chance!

Whew! It’s been a wild few weeks for real estate photography! New listings are popping up everywhere, which had me traveling from Red Wing and Mora, Minnesota to all sorts of properties in the Wisconsin Northwoods.

After such a long, grey winter, it’s been refreshing to see more of the countryside — now if only it would warm up a little... 🌞

If you know me, you know I have a soft spot for unique houses — and this custom home in Balsam Lake was such a joy to photograph. It's welcoming, cozy, and full of character.

Just got back from one of the most beautiful (and slightly treacherous) work trips I’ve ever taken—Grand Marais, MN! I brought my daughter Sofia with me and we made a little adventure out of it. We stayed at the stunning Bluefin Bay Resort, enjoyed the North Shore magic, and stopped by Split Rock Lighthouse on the way home because how could we not?

We definitely earned that relaxation though… the winter roads were no joke. Ice, snow, white-knuckle moments—but totally worth it once we arrived.

We warmed up and calmed down with a nice dinner and drinks at The Bluefin Grill at our resort, but had to walk across the bay to get there because my little Prius wouldn't make it up the hill to drive over from our room due to black ice.😅 It was a beautiful walk along the snowy trail to the restaurant, and we got to witness the Lake Superior waves crashing on the shore.

But the real reason for the trip was photographing this incredible lakefront condo right in the heart of downtown Grand Marais at 21 E Wisconsin St #210. It’s perched above the harbor, steps from Artist's Point, and has one of the dreamiest deck views you could imagine 😍 The kind of place that makes you want to stay forever.

The location was perfection. You're just a short stroll from the iconic World’s Best Donuts 🍩, Java Moose ☕, Sivertson Gallery 🎨, and all the cozy shops and restaurants that make Grand Marais feel like a Hallmark movie set (without the cheesy storylines).

Huge thanks to the wonderful team at Anderson Realty for bringing me in—especially and . Y’all are a joy to work with, and it was an honor to help showcase such a special property 📸

Bonus: This beauty is also a vacation rental—so even if you’re not in the market to buy, you can still stay here and take in all that Grand Marais charm.

Some homes don’t just sit on land—they belong to it.

Just north of Stillwater, nestled in the rolling woods near the St. Croix River, sits a home that feels more like a storybook retreat than a typical real estate listing. This property is a place where the craftsmanship of Scandinavian design meets the wild beauty of 13 private acres.

Photographing this home, I found myself drawn to its quiet elegance—the way the light filters through the great room, the intricate carvings in the wood, the centuries-old influence of Nordic architecture woven into every detail.

And then there are the hidden treasures: A traditional Swedish Stuga tucked into the landscape, a guest cottage that feels like a step into another time. A Pottery Barn—not the store, but a real working artist’s space! Every inch of this property invites creativity, reflection, and a slower way of living.

And if you ever feel the need to wander, the St. Croix River is just minutes away, offering miles of water, cliffs, and trails—a natural extension of the peace found here.

This isn’t just a home. It’s a place to breathe, to create, to settle into the rhythm of the land.

🏡 4 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 2,700 Sq Ft
🌲 13.03 Acres of Serenity

I love a good northern Wisconsin road trip! 🚗

Sofia and I traveled to Eagle River, WI to photograph the absolutely picture perfect Pine & Dandy vacation cabin on Arbutus Lake.

The entire experience from start to finish was great! The owners were kind and lovely to work with, and they've decorated the space to absolute perfection. The interior really speaks to the Northwoods Wisconsin beauty found outside of this very private getaway.

If you're looking for a new spot to spend a week or weekend, I can promise that Pine & Dandy will deliver an unforgettable and relaxing experience. Check them out!

I often get to photograph these 'tucked away' gems that you can't see from the main road. You wouldn't know they even existed unless you're a lucky real estate photographer like me who gets to explore all of the hidden spots around here.😊

This beautifully unique and pristine home is one of those 'hidden gems' and is just north of Amery, Wisconsin. There will be an Open House on Friday, September 13 from 4-7PM, and on Sunday, September 15th from 11AM to 1PM.
