It’s Me!

Hello everyone!! 

I want you to know who is capturing your images and some of you may not know all of these things about me. Read along to learn more about what makes me me and the photographer I am.

First, relationships are my lifeline. Spending time with family and friends is a big priority in my life. It is also where I get my fulfillment from in being a photographer. Connecting with people and bringing out their truest selves to be captured is my goal in every session and it brings me great joy to do so.

I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota and have moved back to the area primarily because of the relationships I have with people here. Nothing beats having your people around you and it makes the Minnesota weather a little more bearable.

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced in my career and in life is my battle with chronic illness. I have multiple pretty debilitating illnesses and it makes photographing significantly harder. My illnesses grew worse in 2021 and I’ve had to really think about how to make my business sustainable with them. I’m so grateful I can be self employed because it gives me the flexibility I need for flare days etc. I take lots of measures to be a reliable person for all your photography sessions. I don’t think I could work if I wasn’t self employed so thank you for your continued support of me and my small business!

While I am primarily a wedding photographer in the Minneapolis / St. Paul Minnesota area, I do pretty much any kind of photography and will travel anywhere worldwide! I’ve more recently been getting into photographing in more corporate settings and I am surprisingly really liking it! Newborn sessions are also some of my favorites to capture.

I really enjoy an art museum stroll and frequent the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Anytime I go to a new city I HAVE to check out their museum. I also spend my time taking care of my many house plants, eating blue moon ice cream (which is so hard to find please let me know if you have a good spot in the twin cities to find it), and finding the best parks to go on walks.

I value authentic in my photography. I’ve been committed to learning ways to help people in front of my lens be their truest selves. It’s an honor to capture your photos and I can’t wait to work together!
