Hi, I’m Cami — The kind of photographer who tears up during father-daughter dances, treasures vintage family albums like sacred relics, and believes your photos aren’t just for Instagram — they’re for your grandchildren. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m most likely rock climbing, writing, or geeking out over a psychology podcast.

I love the mountains, fresh air, and the kind of belly-laughter that makes you forget to be self-conscious. If you're into photographs that feel as real as you are and you'd like to make a new friend in the process, keep scrolling, I've been waiting for you!
I believe in slowing down. I believe your memories deserve to be preserved with intention. And I believe photography is less about looking perfect and more about remembering what it felt like to be truly alive and loved.
"I believe your photos should feel like home. Like heirlooms. Like time slowed down just for you. Because years from now, when your little one is all grown or the moment has long passed, these photographs will still whisper: you were here, you were loved, and it was beautiful." - Cami Wade

If that resonates with you, lets connect! I’d be honored to help you create heirlooms that will outlive us both and move your grandchildren to daydream, wonder and feel deeply connected to all the lives that loved before them.
My addiction to nostalgia started when I was just a little girl. Steps from my childhood home - I had found it...Tucked away at the end of Pralle Lane in Saint Charles, Missouri you could find it too - My grandmothers house.
As a child, each Sunday afternoon I would walk there. Up a hill, around a corner, zero side walks and a blind spot. I spent each Sunday afternoon along side my grandmother tracing the edges of faded black-and-white prints; sifting through endless amounts of old photographs together.
The questions those images led me to ask her and the moments of connection it created between us were — and still are — some of the best moments of my life.
Facinated by her youth and beauty, It made me feel connected to her in ways I hadn't experienced, I felt I understood her, and would often get lost looking through images of her youth and daydreaming of all she had experienced. It scratched a part of my brain that I hadn't realized was starving for connection and a deeper understanding of the ones I love and their life experiences until then
I’ve been photographing couples and their stories since 2007, but my passion for imagery began long before I ever held a camera...
SAY HELLO!
- shortly followed by the jaring realization that my grandmother had lived an entire life full of romance and pure mistchif before I even existed.
Within storytelling I have found my purpose. The gravity a single image is capable of holding simply floors me. I’m deeply curious about people & the way we connect. That curiosity helps me see you—and all of the simple yet beautiful in between moments that make you feel most alive.
Many focus on the visuals of photography but my focus is on capturing a feeling. My sessions are relaxed, organic, and centered around real connection.
No forced poses or “smile at the camera” energy—just the natural unfolding of your family’s rhythm, your love, your laughter. I gently guide you when needed but mostly, I want you to just be. That’s where the magic lives.
"I believe that your wedding images should be unique to you. I enjoy getting to know each and every one of my clients on a personal level. I live for sipping coffee together, laughing with you while you tell me about your funny first date moments and hearing about your sweet proposal and the love you felt." - Cami

Cami is so incredibly sweet and her work speaks for itself --phenomenal! We live in Atlanta, but we had zero doubts going into the big day that we were going to feel comfortable working with her and get photos we'll treasure forever. And we were not wrong! Our pictures are absolutely stunning and even better than we could have hoped for. She is simply the best and I would absolutely recommend her!

"Cami did an excellent job photographing my wedding and reception. We live in Ohio. We felt extremely comfortable with her on our big day. She is talented, artistic, and creates a softness and warmth with her demeanor and work that makes her great to work with and creates a product that really captures your personality, wedding day, as well as the love and happiness shared between you and your partner. SHE ROCKS! WOULD CHOOSE HER AGAIN AND AGAIN."
"I would choose her again and again!"
