Specializing in Newborn, Maternity, & Family Photography for Today's Modern Mom
Hi, I'm Whitney. I've been married to my husband, Justin, since 2006 and we have a sweet and rambunctious red-head named Holt who is growing up faster than I can believe. Being a mom has taught me just how quickly the days slip by and how priceless it is to have beautiful photos and tangible fine art to hold onto as your baby's childhood flies by.
I also know firsthand how busy life is when you're juggling family, work, and everything in between. That's why I've built a photography experience to take care of every detail for you...so you can simply show up and enjoy the moment.
My heart behind every session is to create timeless, meaningful images and gorgeous heirloom fine art for you to look back on and cherish...because I know how much these images and art will mean, not just today but for generations to come.
JUST FOR FUN

Oh. My. Goodness.
I was crying happy tears when Whitney shows us our newborn session gallery...our pictures were pure magic. Whitney is so, so talented and I'm so happy to have her document the big and fleeting moments in our life!

the studio
The Studio is a cozy, stand-alone building on our property that was designed with families in mind. It's bright, airy, filled with soft natural light, and has all of the amenities...a hangout area to relax, a full bathroom, a kitchenette with snacks and drinks, and toys with space to play to keep littles happy.

Just steps from the studio and tucked behind our home is a Private Field and Country Road. These spots are exclusive to my clients and provide the perfect backdrop for joy-filled portraits. This private, outdoor space makes it easy to create timeless moments in an easy, laid-back setting.
finished fine art
portraits made to be seen, held, and passed down
Your family's story deserves more than files stored on a hard drive. Whitney Otto Photography is proud to offer a gorgeous line of finished fine art options including custom framing, heirloom albums, glass display boxes, custom stationery, and more. Finished fine art transforms your portraits into timeless pieces that bring warmth and meaning to your home every single day.
There's something powerful about holding a handcrafted, heirloom album, seeing your children's faces beautifully framed on your walls, or gifting tangible art to loved ones. These pieces aren't just photos...they're lasting treasures that will be passed down for generations.
