Where vision meets adventure

Welcome to Iris + Roam
Where vision meets adventure

Hi, I’m Kallie — a Wisconsin native, nature lover, and eye doctor with a passion for photography, travel, and storytelling. Iris + Roam is a name inspired by what I know and love: the iris, the part of the eye that controls how we see the world, and roam, the instinct to explore it. This space brings those ideas together — to honor both how we witness beauty and where we go to find it.

What Makes Iris + Roam Different?

At Iris + Roam, photography isn’t just about pretty landscapes. It’s about capturing feeling, light, story, and soul. Whether it’s a misty lake at dawn or a canyon drenched in desert sun, each photo invites you to slow down and experience the essence of a place — not just see it, but feel it.

Our Vision

We believe in blending the art of photography with the spirit of exploration — while also holding space for reflection and gratitude. Travel is a privilege, and not everyone has the same access to it. At Iris + Roam, we carry that awareness with us. Our goal is to honor the land, respect its stories, and offer a window into the wild that is as inclusive as it is inspiring.

Nature as Muse

From the quiet forests of Wisconsin to the sweeping fjords of Norway, the landscapes we photograph are more than locations — they are living narratives. We’re inspired by texture, mood, weather, and wonder. And as someone trained to understand vision on a literal level, I also strive to capture the poetic side of seeing: light, clarity, and the moments that shift your perspective.

Let’s Wander Together

This is an invitation to wander — with intention, curiosity, and reverence. Whether you explore through your own lens or simply through ours, Iris + Roam is a place to connect with the world in all its wild beauty.

Thanks for being here.
