Welcome!


Hi, I’m Ava! The heart behind Dreaming Eye Photography LLC. Since November 2022, I’ve been chasing light, laughter, and all the fleeting moments that make life beautiful. Based in Rhinelander, WI, I typically travel up to 30 minutes for regular sessions and up to an hour for weddings, but if your story takes me farther, let’s talk! I love an adventure.


I specialize in lifestyle photography, including families, couples, engagements, seniors, maternity sessions, pets, outdoor professional headshots, and more. My work focuses on capturing the authentic, in-between moments: the laughter, love, and connection that make your story uniquely yours. My style is warm, natural, and timeless, emphasizing real emotion over posed perfection.


While lifestyle sessions are my passion, I also take on a select number of weddings each year. Every couple deserves my full attention, so I create a relaxed, personal experience that allows you to truly live your day while I preserve every unforgettable detail.


Every photo tells part of your story, and I’d be honored to help you tell yours.

"What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce."
