About

My Name is Wendy Greenslade, and this is both my passion and profession. You will find my personal style to be artistic and genuine. I aspire to capture unique angles and memorable experiences. My goal is to create images that will be treasured for a lifetime.


I’m an extremely versatile photographer, which is really a reflection of who I am as a person. I thrive on the challenge of applying my skills to a variety of different types of shoots. My work varies from warm, heartfelt family moments to fast-paced, wild and funky projects like music or entertainment venues. I am a very professional, hard-working person devoted to my work as a photographer. I want your experience with me to be fun, comfortable, and exceed all your expectations!


I never did set out to be a photographer professionally… photography was always a hobby of mine, and it has always been very rare to catch me without a camera in hand. Over the years, the hobby turned into a passion and an outlet for my creativity. I strive to continually develop my craft and am constantly keeping up-to-date with classes and I enjoy learning from other photographers. I am particularly interested in the editing process, which satisfies my love for art and my developed style.


In addition to my work capturing special moments for individual clients and their families, I have added DeVry University to my client list for their RESTORE projects and faculty portraits

Lifelong Photographer

Where do I even begin! Wendy has been a godsend throughout the entire process. When covid hit she was reassuring, kind, and helpful. From our engagement photos, to planning, to our elopement, to our big wedding next year we could not have chosen a better photographer. My fiancé (now I get to call him husband!) calls her the greatest and we cannot wait to continue to work with her throughout our futures.


Okay! Editing this to add how incredibly Wendy and her daughter, Skyllar, were at our small wedding this year. We postponed our big wedding, but Wendy encouraged us to do something small this year. They went up to Devils Lake, Wisconsin with us and 22 of our family members. They scoped out where to take the perfect photos and boy did they deliver. I can’t just pick one picture as my favorite because they are ALL so good. I can’t wait to work with them again next year. Skyllar caught some amazing shots, including one of a year running down my grooms cheek before our first look

All I can say is WOW!!

Wendy is nothing short of incredible. She shot my sister’s wedding a couple years back, and as soon as I saw the pictures, I knew we had to hire her for our big day. The picture quality, locations we took the shots and the way she put people together in the pictures were perfect. She was bubbly, and very sweet to our guests! She is quick and efficient on the wedding day, taking charge to make sure all your requested pictures are accomplished. She has great vision, and took some very modern, unconventional shots, which I was super excited about. I can not wait to see the pictures. Thank you, Wendy!!

My wife and I had an excellent experience working with Wendy.
Wendy is truly a pro, and extremely easy to work with. She's personable, and made the process of taking many pictures, a lot more comfortable and relaxed. The quality of Wendy's work is 2nd to none; our photos turned out amazing. From a guy's perspective, I truly valued her ability to keep things light, while still capturing the nights best moments. I would definitely recommend Wendy, and Locked In Photography.

Three words: Wendy is amazing! We haven't even had our wedding yet but based on our engagement photos and how they turned out, I KNOW our wedding photos are going to be above and beyond amazing and will definitely exceed our expectations!

Wendy is the type of business owner that gives her all to her clients. She spends so much time answering questions, walking you through the engagement session and wedding day process, helping you come up with day-of timelines for the wedding, and SO much more! She truly goes above and beyond for her clients.

From our consultation where we built out our photo package, to the minute we arrived at our engagement session, Wendy has done everything possible to make us feel comfortable and confident so our photos look natural and show the personality of me and my fiancé. Nothing during the engagement session felt super forced or staged, which is why I LOVE our pictures so much! So many of our engagement photos show us laughing, talking, smiling, and just being our true selves. Wendy is hands down the best photographer in the game and I cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding in less than a month!

Thank you for everything so far, Wendy!

Wendy is an outstanding photographer! We first learned about Wendy through a friend and quickly realized why she was so highly recommended! We decided on Wendy’s wedding package that included both engagement photos and day of wedding photos. For engagement photos, Wendy met us downtown where we lived and traveled with us to three different locations in the city to capture some wonderful moments! She is dog friendly as well! Our pupper came to the first stop with us and Wendy was so patient with her. As for our wedding pictures, it’s really hard to sum it up on a few words. They were so beautiful and honestly everything I was looking for. The moments she captured, the scenery, and all the little details in between. She really works hard to do what you want on your special day. It was so hard to pick and choose photos for our photo album because there was so many that were loved!! I received so many compliments from friends and family, and I have two friends that are now using her for their weddings! She does not disappoint ladies! In fact, we just had her take our maternity pictures and again, I loved them all. The moments will be cherished forever! We plan to use her for our newborn pictures this November. Get in while you can! Wendy is a lifelong photographer for your family.

Wendy is incredible! She truly thinks about what is best for the customer, how to create the best atmosphere, shots that will be loved and looked at for years to come and ones that are unique and fit the customer. We appreciate her time, energy, thoughtfulness and goal to create the best pictures you want.

This team is amazing!!!!! I am simply blown away by the photographs and moments they captured on the best day of my life! They go above and beyond in every way shape and form (they helped my husband surprise me with a puppy on the big day). With Locked In, you get Wendy, but also Jose and Sonya and between the three of them you will get every shot you could want! They make it easy to feel relaxed and laugh even though you have been taking millions of pictures for 10+ hours. I would hire them again and again and again without a doubt!

Wendy is absolutely amazing! I am not a big picture person or creative at ideas for pictures. However, she was able to get me excited about taking them & thinking of how to bring out ME on my day! Wendy & her staff are professional to the highest degree & have your best interests at the forefront of their work. I could not be happier with the results & will have so many memories to come back to because of the fantastic job Wendy & her crew did! We will be using her for all of our photo shoot needs because she is the BEST!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
