weddings
Your life is your creation. We’re here to document it.
Over the years, my style has been characterized as romantic, elegant, and dramatic, all stemming from a creative and sometimes unusual approach to light.
I am deeply committed to creating photos that stop you in your tracks, evoke raw emotion, and present an intimate and authentic experience.
I fully absorb their feelings and emotions, and it fuels my art.
Connecting with clients is everything to me.
Let’s make some magic together.
Into it?
All you have to do is just be... breathtakingly, authentically, you.
(with Joe’s organizational help, let’s be honest)
I’ll make it all happen

It’s important to me that my work has variety, which is why I’m not strictly a wedding photographer. I deeply value my full spectrum of clients and shoots, and I thrive on providing a distinctive and unrepeatable experience for each and every one of you.

Engagements & Weddings
Most clients come to us for the wedding day, but we’ve found that an engagement session is where the spark really ignites. It’s our chance to get to know you as a couple, see how you are with each other, and share more about ourselves. We’ve also been known to bring our pets, Bonzo and Pacha, or our kids, along on shoots. The more, the merrier, right?

Engagements
book now
Engagement sessions and weddings are available separately or as a package.
we’re working to create a seamless experience that celebrates their individuality and the personal journey and adventure that is their wedding. We learned early on that every moment is significant, even the quiet ones that others might rush through. Quite often, it’s those small in-between moments that you’ll return to year after year. The ones your grandkids will pause over and fondly remember you by. It would be an honor to create those for you.
From the moment a couple reaches out,
Joe and I are committed to making your day less stressful and more fun by bringing our passion and energy to every single wedding (not to mention a few bad jokes to ease the tension). We will love and serve you well.
And when it comes to your wedding day, I firmly believe that the most important element is comfort (no, I’m not talking about your shoes).
In my 13+ years of photographing weddings, you can rest assured that I have seen it ALL.

Elopements & Adventure
book now
If you’re looking for maximum creativity, flexibility, and budget-consciousness, an elopement & adventure package might just be the perfect fit. As a reminder, we’re based in Minneapolis, but we LOVE to travel. In fact, we recently purchased a camper that’s just begging to hit the road.
elopements
& adventure
Elopements are one of those wild and intimate experiences that not everyone is quite brave enough to choose, although we’ve been thrilled to see them gaining steam in recent years.

Families
book now
Families are available as mini sessions or full sessions.
Your family shoot is an opportunity to preserve your individual personalities and collective energy in a moment in time. We’ll find a location that’s just right and set the scene to make your family’s true spirit shine. If you’re golfers, let’s hit up the links! If you love nature, let’s pitch a tent or go for a hike at the state park. Your photos should make a statement about who you are as a family. And hey, let’s make it a yearly thing. There’s nothing I love more than watching families grow.
families
There’s a special, but often untapped, energy to family photos. Anyone can snap a picture of your crew, all decked out in those classic denim-on-denim ensembles, hands in the pockets, cheesing for the camera, but I’m out to capture something more. We’ll talk about everything from outfits (unlimited!), to props and locations, but first I want to know who you really are—parents, kids, pets, and all.

Seniors
book now
Photographing seniors is one of the places I go to let my creativity run wild. I style my seniors from head to toe (with no limit on the amount of outfits), provide custom hair and makeup, and put an immense amount of energy into creating a scene that sets them apart. Every senior has a story, whether it features sports, music, theater, volunteer work, or their friends. I’m here to capture that story.
seniors
Senior shoots are one of my all-time favorite offerings because of the hope, wonder, and passion they exude. Photographing these bright young people who are about to step out into the world for the first time on their own is a legitimate joy. Being able to capture their spark in a photograph is a gift I love delivering to both my seniors and their families.

Headshots & Branding
book now
headshots and branding images are available in mini sessions.
Whatever you’re looking for—sophisticated, approachable, professional, or just plain badass—I’ll make it happen.
branding
Over the years, the experiences I’ve had shooting branding images have been some of the most fascinating. Whether it’s a simple (but stunning) set of headshots or a full branding or lifestyle package, I’ve had the opportunity to work with motivational speakers, authors, insurance salespeople, personal trainers, financial advisors, and so many more incredible folks.
House a mess? Looking for a backdrop that’s not like every other brick wall or field of wheat? We have a gorgeous studio available for family, senior, branding, and lifestyle shoots.
