It is with a heart full of gratitude that I announce my retirement from photography after a wonderful 20+ year career. I have loved all my clients, hearing their stories, being part of capturing their memories, seeing some of their happiest moments. I have taken hundreds of thousands of images (seriously) and have been blessed with thousands of clients. This has been an extremely fulfilling career for me and I feel so incredibly blessed to have had such a long career in a profession that isn't often long lived. I've met so many people from all walks of life, laughed with the best of them, teared up with others and found joy in stopping moments for people and freezing time. If I was ever fortunate enough to take your picture....thank you!!! Thank you for trusting me, for feeling safe with me, for having fun with me and making my job something I wanted to wake up and do every day. I love the art of photography and showing how I see the world through photography and that won't change. What I loved about a profession of photography was you, my clients. While I have orders to wrap up and a few final sports sessions the next several months, I won't be taking any new appointments or clients. I have another adventure I'm gearing up to do and I can't wait to share that with you!!! Truly....Thank you!

I love supporting chambers, especially the one in my local hometown of Forest Lake, MN. They recently moved offices and I got to photograph their ribbon cutting!
