I am a photographer based in Minneapolis with over 20 years of experience for both personal and professional photography. I never envisioned becoming a photographer or starting a business centered around a camera, it just happened organically.
I am most passionate about being a mom/parent and my family. They are my favorite people in the world and I am so lucky to call them mine. My husband and daughters are my teachers and I enjoy learning from them every day.
I am inspired by nature and music. My favorite time to take photographs is after it rains because I love the way the colors are amplified. The cinematography from Taylor Swift’s music video, All Too Well inspires me every time I watch it. I love the sad girl Autumn vibe.
I believe in building lasting relationships with my clients. I’m honored when you choose me in the beginning and especially when you return and give me additional space. We are all navigating life and we have shared experiences. I am lucky to have the tools to document those special moments for you.
My Approach
I may be a bit quiet and even a little awkward but I do my best work when I can escape into my head. With that said, our session will be a collaborative effort with your best interests in mind. We will work together to decide on all the details such as location, attire, tone of the session, and other details so that we can create the ideal space for you and yours to thrive in.
My Why
It is important to me that I create images that are meaningful and honest to you. I photograph from a place of love and loss and some days it is with a full cup and some days, it is with a broken heart. My work stems from my own celebrations and challenges and it is how I am able to connect with you.
My Ask
The biggest question after booking a photo session usually is “What am I (are we) going to wear?”
I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t really matter. Instead, I want you to focus on:
-showing up as you are
-wearing what you want
-being present
Photography is about connection. Your photos should be a true representation of you and the season of life you’re in. With that said, I love putting pieces together so if styling and color coordinating is not your thing, I am more than happy to help.
