Capturing Life's Moments! Hey there! Let's make time stand still ...long enough to frame it anyway!

My name is Miriah, your photographer who is obsessed with capturing love, laughter, and all the perfectly imperfect moments in between.

Wyatt | Hawley High School Class of 2027

Another senior session with one of those quiet, easygoing guys who just smiles and puts up with every idea I throw at him. 😂 He was so polite, kind, and an absolute joy to photograph!

Mom came along with a few Pinterest ideas and kept apologizing for them, but PLEASE… bring the Pinterest ideas! These are YOUR photos, and if you have something you want to try, I’m always game! ❤️

Of course we had to include two of his favorites, football and baseball. And apparently the quiet guy can HIT, because he’s currently holding strong with the most home runs on the team! ⚾️🔥

Such a fun evening with a great young man and his mom. Thanks for trusting me with all the ideas....yours AND mine! Keep aiming for that moon, Wyatt!

Jegtvig Family | Summer 2026

Some people come into your life and somewhere along the way, they become almost like family ❤️

This sweet crew has been part of our lives for the last six years, ever since Jorde and Maci started daycare together, and they haven’t looked back since!

These sweeties are truly the closest thing Jorde has to siblings his own age. Because of them, he gets to just be a kid—rough and tumble, run wild, use his imagination, be silly, and have FUN. And I don’t think they’ll ever fully know how grateful I am for that. ❤️

This summer made our families even more intertwined, with Faith nannying for them. So naturally, when we showed up for their family session, one of Avery’s very first questions was, “Where’s Jorde?!” 😂 Apparently I was not the family member she was hoping would show up!

I absolutely adored photographing this crew, but even more than that, I’m grateful we get to do so much alongside them. Six years of friendship, growing up together, countless memories, and kids who love each other like family.

Brody | Hawley High School Class of 2027

Brody is one of those kids who is just easy to root for. He’s incredibly talented athletically, but even more impressive is the person behind all of that talent. He’s smart, driven, focused, fun to be around, and has such a good head on his shoulders. He's the kind of kid you know is going to do big things because he’s willing to put in the work to get there.

For his senior session, we obviously had to spend some time highlighting two of his favorite things...basketball and baseball. 🏀⚾
Right now, Brody is looking at St. Cloud as a possibility for his next chapter, where he could continue his already successful baseball career at the next level. And wherever he lands, I have a feeling he’s going to make the most of it.

Brosniff, you’ve got so much ahead of you. Keep that drive, keep working hard, and keep being exactly the kind of person you are. I can’t wait to see where you go from here. ❤️

Maddy • Lake Park - Audubon High School Class of 2027

Some senior sessions are just FUN and full of whimsy from start to finish and this girl’s was definitely one of them. ❤️📸

Maddy had me climbing through tall grass, wandering down trails, tromping through nature, and basically following her to all of the gorgeous locations. And despite the fact that I’m pretty sure she and her and mom thought I was just being nice when I said it… THIS IS 100% MY JAM. Give me all the wild, outdoorsy locations!

She is spunky, sweet, full of personality, and was an absolute blast to photograph. She’s also a talented flute player 🎶 and already has some pretty big plans for what comes next....Sonography at NDSU! 💚💛

I have a feeling this girl is going to do some pretty great things. For now, though, I’m just glad she let me tag along on her senior photo expedition. 😂

Have the BEST senior year, Maddy! 🎓❤️

Lighting is a vital part of photography, and it's not too often that I veer from my tried and true methods to shoot in direct sunlight. But every once in a while, a perfect opportunity comes along and I just feel moved to go for it.....and the outcome is usually magical✨😍🔅

Kenleigh's gallery is close to being finished and delivered!

Nora • Lincoln High School Class of 2027

I remember when this beautiful girl was born… which feels impossible, because I’m pretty sure her mom and I just graduated high school like 10 minutes ago. 😂

Nora's mom has been one of my longest and dearest friends through high school, college, growing up, raising families, and all the life in between. And now I somehow find myself behind the camera taking her daughter’s senior photos, and it really feels like a full circle type of moment.

She reminds me so much of her mama, but she’s also the perfect blend of both mom and dad. Quiet and sweet, into track, with a soft spot for horses.

Beautiful girl, beautiful evening, and one photographer still trying to figure out how we got old enough to have kids graduating. 😂

Senior year looks pretty darn good on you, Nora. I hope you have the best year!

Corey | Oak Grove Class of 2027

Another senior session in the books! 🎓

This guy was such a pleasure to work with—polite, easygoing, and incredibly patient with me as I hobbled my way through his session. 😂 He took direction like a pro and was such a natural in front of the camera that he made my job pretty darn easy!

He’s a tennis guy, with his sights set beyond Minnesota after graduation. He knows he wants to travel for college, even if he hasn’t quite decided where that adventure will take him yet!

Thanks for putting up with your slightly broken photographer and making this such an easy, fun session! 😉 I’m excited to see where life takes you after High School! Congrats!

Kase | Ulen-Hitterdal Class of 2027

Short and sweet and can't be beat!

Some seniors dream about their photo session for months...and some are there for mom and check it off the list. Lucky for Kase, I completely understand that not all kids LOVE the thought of photos and I offer a session that is quick, easy, relatively painless, and still gives you some great shots.

He had two requests, photos with dad's tractor and some shots where he could wear his hat....both of which I was happy to make happen (YES, I allow hats!). For someone who wasn't exactly excited about senior pictures, Kase did an awesome job putting up with my ideas and directions and we ended up with some really great photos 🙂

Thank you Kase, I hope you have a wonderful senior year!

Jonathan/Jonny | Hawley High Class of 2027

A picture-perfect evening. The kind of weather photographers dream about. Great conversation. And a senior who made my job ridiculously easy.

So many of these kids are people I've know since they were little, and the best part about Jonny is that he hasn’t changed. He’s still the same kind, genuine, humble person he’s always been—just a little taller and a whole lot closer to chasing his dreams.

Whether he’s logging miles as a long-distance runner, sharing his incredible voice, loving Jesus, or chasing the future, you can tell he knows exactly who he is. And that’s something pretty special.

Watching kids I’ve known for years grow into remarkable young adults is something I’ll never take for granted.

Congratulations to Jonathan, the Senior! I can’t wait to see where your determination, talent, and character take you. ❤️

PS....Peek in the photos for a fun photobomber friend 😂
