Thanks for coming to take a peek at my space on the web. I'm a Minnesota based photographer serving couples, families, seniors, and small businesses throughout the Minneapolis and the Twin Cities areas. I believe that the most meaningful photos aren't just beautiful...they tell the story of the people and the relationships that matter most
I was a studio art major at the University of Northwestern in St. Paul and secretly loved critique day. I love the month of July and have been trying to figure out how to live in both MN and FL for the past 3 years. I hate heights, but have been bridge and cliff jumping to try to overcome my fears. (Neither worked, and skydiving is not in the cards.) Dark chocolate, Fika Coffee, hot summer days, the beaches of Florida, loyalty, Minnesota lakes, genuineness and authenticity are all things I love. Most of my clients become friends, and I promise you are guaranteed a hug at some point after we meet.
I have been documenting people in love for over two decades and don't plan on stoping anytime soon. Reach out; I can't wait to hear your story!
My life isn't perfect but I am thankful for every second. With this crew around me I am guaranteed laughter, joy, energy and quality time. When I'm not out photographing incredible people, you can typically find me with one of my four favorite people.
Married for over 20 years, my best friend and husband Kevin and I met because he fell from a building. (Ask me about it some time and I'll be sure to tell the story). He continues to keep me on my toes and keeps me laughing each day. We love travel, hiking, and exploring new places together. He's my biggest supporter in both life and photography.
As a mom of three young adults, my life is full and filled with energy and conversation. As a family we love traveling, visiting national parks (15 so far and counting), spending time together at the beach when we can and soaking up MN summers. Between baseball games, college life and plenty of laughter, I am incredibly thankful for this crew
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
