One of my favorite parts of being a photographer isn't just creating images—it's getting to know the incredible people and families I have the privilege of working with. Every session tells a different story, and I am always grateful when clients trust me to capture these moments in their lives.

I recently added a few new testimonials to my website, and reading their kind words reminded me why I love what I do so much. Thank you to every client who has invited me into their lives, shared their stories, and allowed me to preserve memories for them.

As summer continues to fill, I currently have a few openings available:

📸 June 13 – Mid-Morning Session
📸 June 20 – Mid-Morning Session

August Openings:
📸 August 8 – Morning or Evening (1 of each)
📸 August 15 – Morning or Evening (either or)
📸 August 22 – Morning or Evening (1 of each)

These openings are perfect for seniors, individuals, couples, or family sessions.

If you've been thinking about booking, send me a message and I'd love to chat!

Happy Spring 🤍 (even if it’s still a little chilly out)

I’ve opened up a small number of sessions for spring, summer, and fall. With a move coming up and continued focus on my full-time role, I’m being really intentional with how many I take on — so availability is limited - this thing of passion I have for photography and creating memories may be freelance - but it is a large joy in my life.

Weekday evenings and select weekend mornings/evenings are open, with May having the most flexibility and June filling up quickly.

I also updated my website — there’s a refreshed portfolio and a much easier way to view session options and book directly.

I’m expanding where I’m shooting this year, too — more of southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, you can head to my site or message me, and we’ll figure out a time that works.

I’m really grateful for everyone who continues to support me — it means more than you know 🤍 as a thank you, if you refer someone who secures a session and mentions you - you will receive 25% off your next session.

Check out the portfolio updates!

DEADLINE! DM today!
Over the past three years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with hundreds of amazing clients - seniors and families, special sports requests, and I added many couples' options and weddings! Wow! It has been a meaningful journey built on trust, connection, and the milestones that shape our lives. Creating photographs that honor these chapters has truly been an honor.

As I begin a new year, I’m continuing to build on that foundation, with thoughtful additions and refinements to come later this year. For now, I’m offering a New Year reservation opportunity with 25% off through January 15.

This offer is ideal for senior sessions, family portraits, and special events. Wedding packages are excluded from the discount.

Reserving a session now allows you to secure the reduced rate while choosing your session date later, once schedules are finalized — a simple and flexible way to plan.

Please note that updated pricing across all session types — including wedding collections — will take effect after January 15. Full payment is required at the time of booking to reserve the discounted rate. Availability is limited, and reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you’d like to reserve a session or have questions, simply reply, and I’ll take care of the rest.

Warm regards ❤️

✨ Stay tuned, a huge 48-hour special offer drops later today! ✨
But first… meet Heather & Tyson. 🤎
I’ve known Heather for many years, and seeing her so deeply loved and appreciated for the incredible woman she is fills my whole heart.

Their outdoor 10/31 wedding at Farmington Regional Park was everything she envisioned — honest, heartfelt, and true to who they are. She wanted their day to feel like them, and after seeing the photos, she told me:
“That was a success.” 🥹✨

Enjoy a few favorites… and get ready for the big announcement coming shortly! 📸🤍
