Senior portrait photographers in Wausau Wisconsin with their Cavapoo dog.

 Hi there!

We're Kelsy & Butch McCartney, a husband & wife photography team based in Wausau, Wisconsin.

As two full-time photographers, our time is spent capturing high school seniors who inspire us – as well as weddings & dogs. Creating in these avenues keeps us feeling fresh & inspired. :)

Aside from taking pictures, you’ll find us spending time with family & friends, and loving on Parker (our 14 year old Cavapoo pup) as much as we possibly can – you'll meet him at the studio during your senior session!

We also love:

  • hiking, gardening & getting on the water

  • playing vinyl and going to concerts

  • grabbing cold brew at our favorite local coffee shops

  • sneaking away to Charleston, SC

  • exploring downtown for date nights

We’ve been doing this ‘photography thing’ for a minute and love it even more now than 17 years ago, when we took our small business full-time. That’s right, we’ve been photographing since 2008, and continue to love creating with our seniors!

Capturing your style, passion, and personality during this exciting time of your life fuels our creativity, and we can’t WAIT to meet you!
