“The McCartneys Seniors are fabulous to work with! We are so happy with the entire experience and our senior’s pictures turned out better than we could have ever imagined.
I was so impressed with the communication throughout the process. Especially prior to the session with the questionnaire getting to know our senior. Sending pictures of her outfits and receiving suggestions was a huge help. Butch and Kelsy are so easy going, fun and professional.
My senior felt so comfortable and had a blast. They captured her personality in all of the pictures, they are simply amazing. The photo album we ordered was wrapped like a present when we picked it up! It is just all the details that they think of that make this experience one of the best! We are looking forward to playing the session video at the graduation party!”
—Marit, mom of ‘24 D.C. Everest senior

“The McCartneys Seniors are the absolute best in the business! I will forever remember this fun-filled day with two of the kindest should I have ever met! Only wish I had more ‘seniors’ so I could do it all over again. Thank you, again, for the beautiful pictures! I am blown away at the talent the two of you share.” ❤️❤️
-Abra Vandergeest, mom of ‘23 Merrill HS senior
“Kelsy & Butch were phenomenal to work with for our daughter’s senior pictures! From helping her narrow down outfit choices to ordering pictures (not an easy feat with all the beautiful pics they took!!) the whole process was stress free. I can’t recommend them enough!!”
—Cory, dad of ‘23 Wausau West senior
“I knew going in that we made the right choice for photographers. You brought so much joy to my daughter’s heart. Additionally I appreciate the dynamics between the two of you as a couple. Thank you much for capturing our daughter’s youthful beauty.”
-Tom, dad of ‘24 Mosinee HS senior
“You’ve captured her pure beauty for sure. Thank you so much for making her feel as special as she deserves. This was such a wonderful experience.”
-Mary, mom of ‘24 Mosinee HS senior
“Butch & Kelsy are truly talented at their photography craft. They asked me what I liked, or wanted to see in my photos. They made sure to personalize my shoot to ensure that my personality shown threw. The shoots I’ve had with them were beyond exhilarating. I always felt more than comfortable. I never wanted to leave them on the day we shot, and they made me feel strong and beautiful. Not only was the experience fun, while jumping place to place but the outcome was absolutely astonishing. I loved having the opportunity to shoot with the McCartneys and strongly recommend them to any and everyone”.
-Rere, D.C. Everest ‘22
And from Reanna’s mom, Theresa:
“You can tell that Butch and Kelsy enjoy being photographers. They made us feel comfortable by welcoming us into their studio to make our senior photo shoot fun and exciting. We also adventured outside of the studio, which captured more of her personality and made it more individualized. They truly care about what you need and went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth experience and achieved that perfect picture look! I would highly recommend them and anyone would be lucky to have them as their photographers.”
“Getting your senior pictures with the McCartneys is more than just high-quality photos, it is an entire experience. The images themselves are absolutely beautiful, but their friendly personalities make the photoshoot so enjoyable as well. I absolutely loved my photoshoot, and wouldn’t trade it for anything. I am so grateful for the experience of getting my photos taken, along with the photos I received in the end. I would 100% recommend the McCartneys for anybody looking for high-quality senior pictures. Kelsy and Butch are the sweetest people ever and both have such radiant personalities. Thank you so much Kelsy and Butch for the wonderful experience and the beautiful images-I had so much fun!”
-Annabella, Mosinee ‘22
And from Annabella’s mom, Lisa:
“My daughter absolutely loved her session with McCartney’s Photography. The photoshoot was an overall experience. It is evident in the photos that Annabella was genuinely comfortable with Butch & Kelsey. I loved hearing Annabella laugh throughout her session, the smiles captured in her photos are genuine. I was delighted by the style and authenticity of the images. The photos captured the beauty and light within our daughter. Annabella adored her session and will forever be grateful that we chose McCartney Photography.”
“Prior to my senior year, I was able to see many senior pictures of friends and family. The majority were predictable and typical run of the mill senior photos. A few of these were the stand out portraits among them all. Alas, I discovered the HOLY GRAIL of photographers….The McCartneys! My search was over when I was a sophomore. From the moment I booked with The Mc Cartneys, they guided me through the best colors and styles to wear and asked careful questions about the locations and specific ideas that I had (one of mine was by a willow tree). It was also important to me to look natural and polished, but not overdone with hair/makeup, as that is not me….and they delivered! Their guidance through this process, along with a keen eye for detail, a super light-hearted and fun nature, made my senior pictures a seamless success. My only advice is to book very early to reserve your date, as I booked in March and there were only a few dates left open to book for September. Thank you Kelsy and Butch for a day I will truly never forget! I couldn’t be happier with my photos 😊”
-Courtney Johannes, Mosinee ‘21
“It is impossible to properly put into words just how grateful we are for The McCartney’s Photography! We are undoubtedly in LOVE with EVERY photo (and there were MANY) taken at Grace’s Luxe plus Sports senior session along with Grace’s and Andrea’s sister session. The girls and I were very excited to see the outfits we put together come to life through the unique artistic lens of the McCartney’s. We were BLOWN AWAY with the stunning images that they captured! Butch and Kelsy are brilliant. Everything about their process of creating these images, start to finish, was fantastic and we could tell they pay attention to every detail. They are such a lovely couple and are true professionals with down to earth personalities AND a great sense of humor. Additionally, they were extremely flexible and helpful every step of the way. One notable aspect about Kelsy and Butch, among many, is the amount of time they invested into understanding who Grace and Andrea are so that they were able to capture the girl’s authentic personalities with a range from quirky to formal. It was a complete blast and privilege to watch Butch and Kelsy work their magic! Their customer service and follow up after the photo sessions were equally spectacular and appreciated. As you can tell from the love and appreciation that we have for The McCartney’s Photography, we adore them and HIGHLY recommend them for all of your portrait needs!
Butch and Kelsy, you are a joy to work with and look forward to future fun and precious moments captured by you! Warmest Regards!”
-Tammy & Mike Michalske, parents of ‘21 Wausau West senior
“The McCartneys are hands down one of the best photographers I have ever worked with! They are constantly positive and so much fun to be around! There was never a moment during my senior session I was bored or felt uncomfortable. The McCartneys helped me show my best smile and the best version of myself. They are also the BEST hype up team! Every different pose I did they cheered me on as if I was a big time model! On top of that they are also really creative and love it when you also have a picture idea! Time flies when you’re having fun and time definitely went by fast that day! If I could go and relive that day I definitely would! 100% recommend the McCartneys!!”
-Janae, Mosinee ‘21
And from Janae’s mom, Brenda:
“My daughter had a wonderful experience with Butch and Kelsy for her senior photos. As a parent, I liked being fully aware of how the shoot would go and the process for ordering photos. There wasn’t confusion in either process and they were extremely helpful in the photo selection process. The shoot was a blast. Butch and Kelsy are a lot of fun and very talented. The ability to be personable, warm, and friendly is a gift. They make the whole process enjoyable and relaxed and I’m introverted. I’ve purchased more photos since my daughters session and plan to order more. Thank you for the service you provide!”
“Several years ago, my daughter Sarah asked me to book her senior pictures with McCartneys Photography. Since Sarah was my oldest, I was a little apprehensive but after doing a little research, I quickly realized that the session was going to be an unforgettable experience. Sarah’s sister, Grace, came along on the session and we all had so much fun. It was like we knew each other for years.
Grace was so excited for her chance to get in front of the camera. And I knew why. Kelsy and Butch are a very talented team and their passion is off the charts.
We were thrilled with each of the photo session results. Kelsy and Butch were so patient and helpful during the entire process.
I was so impressed by their sincere desire to make this experience fun, creative and a moment they will remember forever. Thank you Kelsy and Butch!!”
-Teri Sukanen, mom of Newman ‘21 senior
“My senior pictures session with the McCartney’s was easily one of the highlights of my summer! I was a bit nervous because it was my first experience of having professional photography done since I was a little girl, but my nerves were easily dispelled after I got to the studio. As soon as I walked in the door the McCartneys were super welcoming and very good at making me comfortable with the idea of my picture being taken which was an act that they were able to continue throughout the day. There was never a time when I felt uncomfortable with them. It was an incredibly fun day and my mom and I both love the outcome of my photos; they were incredibly well done! I would completely recommend the McCartneys for any professional photography needs!”
-Annie Collins, Wausau East ‘21
And from Annie’s mom, Heather:
“Kelsy & Butch really brought out the best in Annie for her senior portraits. They are both warm and welcoming, yet extremely professional, which immediately put Annie at ease and allowed her personality to come through in her pictures. We are thrilled with the images that were captured and cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“My experience with the McCartneys is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Their kindness & perfect eye made my session unforgettable. I loved the way my photos turned out and I always felt comfortable with them. They made me laugh while also taking beautiful photos that made the decision making very hard! I 100% recommend them to take your senior portraits, as my experience & photos are just perfect. Thank you so much, McCartneys!”
-Reagan Kettner, DCE '21
And from Reagan’s mom, Monica:
“The McCartneys were so friendly to me and my daughter, Reagan, and we had a blast with them. With them taking us to beautiful locations, I knew the pictures would turn out amazing and they absolutely did. I’m so glad I chose the McCartneys for my daughter and would absolutely recommend them for others.”
“When it was time to get my senior photos done, The McCartneys instantly stood out to me. The quality of their work has to make them one of the best in my opinion. The entire experience itself was fun and exciting, Kelsy and Butch really take into consideration your interests and personality when it comes to not only the photography aspect but also the behind the scenes. They’re also super flexible and work with you throughout the whole process! You’re definitely getting what you pay for with the work and quality of The McCartneys.”
-Jarahnee Prasoeuthsy, Wausau West ‘21
“Kelsy and Butch, such an amazing professional photography duo! Their artistry made selecting my daughter’s 2021 high school senior photos a challenging decision. This dynamic duo brings an unparalleled energy and enthusiasm to the senior photo session. I imagined my daughter being anxious and nervous about the senior session however Kelsy and Butch put her at ease from the first minute they met; lots of great questions asked to get to know her and our family. While my daughter’s high school senior year has been unusual, at least, the entire senior photo session process with Kelsy and Butch has been a wonderful bright spot of 2020-2021! I highly recommend choosing The McCartneys Photography for your high school senior’s photo session.”
-Jennifer Hockin, mom of ‘21 Wausau West senior
“We first met the McCartneys through our older daughter, in 2016. They had taken pictures at some bigger events (Prom, Junior Girls, Homecoming). Our older daughter was chosen as one of their senior reps for her junior year and they quickly became dear friends. She would not even entertain anyone else taking her senior pictures, and we wouldn't have suggested it. Fast forward 3 years, and there wasn't even a question as to where to go!
What I love about the McCartneys is their ability to capture the essence of the people they are photographing. Their pictures are bright and airy. And rather than being the stuffy, rigid, boring time I remember for my own senior pictures, time spent with the McCartneys taking pictures is just plain fun. Both of my daughters loved their experience so much. And while the pictures themselves are beautiful, they also captured days that were full of joy. I will forever be grateful that our older daughter connected us and for the pictures we have from this time with them. They will also be photographing our son!”
-Heather, mom of three Wausau East seniors :)
“Thank you so much for such an incredible experience!! You are both amazing and have such bubbly personalities that makes the experience go so much better! I never thought such different outfits and backgrounds would be so beautiful digitally and I’m astonished. These pictures are beyond beautiful and I’ve had so many compliments and smiles on peoples faces, which made it such a joy!
Thank you again so much HIGHLY recommended!!!”
