Every year this family creates a new holiday card theme — and this year we took it to the barn. 🤍

Horses, boots, and a little country charm made the perfect backdrop for their 2025 card. I love helping families turn their traditions into something they can look back on for years to come.

Hello everyone!
Behind every refined image is continued growth.

WPPI 2026 has been an inspiring reminder that whether I’m capturing the quiet strength of a horse in golden light or the intimacy of a beautifully curated micro wedding, the details matter.

Light. Composition. Emotion. Presence.

I am committed to delivering imagery that feels timeless, elevated, and deeply personal — for every client who trusts me with their story.

Grateful to keep learning so I can keep serving at the highest level. 🤍

Okay - This shoot...another absolute favorite. I was being mentored by Shelley Paulson Photography - YES, I continue to educate myself, and this was a where the lightbulb went off with "Follow the Light" not the location! My next post will show you exactly why! I actually have a funny story about this shoot...and how when i arrived at this location I thought I had it all planned out...where I was going to stand...you name it. Then Shelley Paulson Photography has a completely different take on it and the freaking lightbulb went off. This was a moment of growth! 😁

I plan to weave in these beautiful pictures from a one on one workshop I did with in Minnesota back in September. I’m in love with the warm tones against the hunter green velvet chair with the contrast of her lovely white dress. Awesome model Ketki, thank you!!
