Silver Tree Studio.

Silver Tree Studio, based in Mount Horeb, just 20 minutes west of Madison and 10 minutes from Verona we’re a nice short drive into the country side of what starts the beautiful driftless region of Wisconsin. We specialize in unique, beautiful, and vivid photography. We love bold color portraits and beautiful classic black and whites.

We know how busy life is these days. It’s hard to keep up. We work hard to make your portrait experience easy. From helping you plan your session, working with you to create beautiful portraits, to helping you choose your favorite prints and wall portraits. Your elegant finished collection leaves here ready to hang or display in your home. 

Krystal.

Growing up drawing and taking pictures around the farm I started out with a photography degree and visual communications degree from Madison College. I continued on to earn my Master of Photography degree through the Professional Photographers of America. I love to learn new techniques and technology… we get new ideas every year! I’ve been crafting portraits for 17 years and still loving it! 😍 When I’m not behind the camera, there’s a good chance you’ll find me in the garden.

If you work with Mike and I your photographers, we’re honored, and know that we work hard so you can trust us with your once-in-lifetime moments.

We are only beginning to learn what to say in a photograph. The world we live in is a succession of fleeting moments, any one of which might say something significant.
