Team Wiswell
We met while taking care of a critical patient in the ICU and have been a force ever since
Many photographers take images of what it looked like–we show you what it felt like
I’d never seen myself as creative. My world revolved around academics, structure, and achievement. But during my senior year abroad in London, I picked up a camera—more out of curiosity than intention. No vision. No plan. Just a quiet pull I couldn’t explain.
Years later, while training at Mayo Clinic to become an emergency physician, I watched a surgical mentor document his family with quiet mastery—just light and shadow, captured with soul. That stayed with me longer than any textbook. It reminded me that beyond the medicine, beyond the science, what matters most is how we hold on to the moments that shape us.
And that’s how J.L. Wiswell Photography began—born from the quiet urgency to hold on to what we cannot keep.
Some moments deserve more than memory. They deserve to live on.

I take each photo with the excitement of someone who picked up a camera for the very first time. I truly love it.

Favorite thing in life: Hearing the laughter of my kids
Favorite thing to do in La Crosse: Getting ice cream at the Pearl
Most meaningful experience: Delivering each of our three kids
