Your Keweenaw Peninsula Photographer

Hi there! If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m Veronica Urbaniak
(VU = “enjoy the view”).
I’m a big fan of coffee, podcasts, really bad “dad jokes,” and – of course – always working to be a better Keweenaw Peninsula photographer for you!
My mom runs a portrait studio in the lower peninsula. I grew up working behind the scenes and learning the ins and outs of portrait photography, including lighting set ups and poses that flatter.
More importantly, I gained the understanding that being a photographer is so much more than having a camera and clicking a button.
I am the only Keweenaw Peninsula photographer focusing on serving my clients by providing a full service experience from planning outfits to hanging frames on their walls!
I’m proud to share that I hold a 5 star rating on Google. I’m also a registered member of the Professional Photographers of America.


My Other Half
My husband Rob runs Copperdale Window Cleaning, but he often comes out with me to shoots, too! I’m a little silly, he’s a little more sane. It’s a good match 😉 He also works as my second shooter at weddings, so your guy has another guy to hang out with.
In our free time, you can find us hiking the Keweenaw, camping, fishing, and kayaking on the canal. We love being outdoors because there’s always somewhere new to explore!



Do you have a place you think we would love? Please let me know – we love recommendations!
Keweenaw Peninsula Photographer Serving the Upper Peninsula
We live in Hancock and serve families from Copper Harbor to Ontonagon and Marquette. There’s too much beauty in the Upper Peninsula to limit to just one area! Rob and I love to explore, which means we’re always finding new potential locations when we’re out hiking.

How I Help You
Most often included in my Google reviews is that I help people feel comfortable in front of the camera. That is the highest compliment for me!
Whether I’m capturing your destination senior pictures, updating family portraits to send out on this year’s cards, or witnessing you start your life as a married couple – I am all in.
My fiancé and I have never had pictures taken professionally together and we were nervous because we didn’t know how to pose, but Veronica made it so easy and effortless!

Taking it a step further – I firmly believe having a portrait session is only the first step.
I am a full service photographer. You have a full schedule, and that’s why I make it easy for you. I work with you every step of the way including preparing you with a series of short e-mails ahead of time. Rest easy knowing I’ll help you with everything from selecting the best clothing for your session to deciding what looks best on your walls!
I don’t want you to forget to print your portraits, relegated to a tiny folder on your computer.
Let me be the Keweenaw Peninsula photographer you call year after year.
Whether you’re marking a life milestone or celebrating the everyday, I love helping your family document memories and fleeting moments.
I would love to be your Keweenaw Peninsula photographer, too!
Please fill out this short form and I’ll be in touch within 48 hours!
