Me and my family. ♥️

We’re rarely in the same place… maybe once every five years. So these are special— but even more so because the two little humans saw snow for the first time in their almost 5 and 10 years of life. And yes, they ate plenty of it. 😆☃️

On another note, Winter always brings a bit of a pause after the craziness of fall and the holidays. I’ve found relief in it. Most of us (especially creatives) are a little desperate for slow.

That’s where I’ve been.

With everything happening in the world around us, I don’t want to forget to nurture my own life and the people in it. To step away when needed. To make sure I’m still in tune with and have energy for what’s right in front of me.

If you’ve made it through the past several years with your relationships intact, your ability to hold nuance, and your heart still open, know that’s not small. Community is significant, and sometimes, staying open hearted can oddly feel the loneliest.

So… thank you all for supporting me. My work. My words. My random ideas and passion projects. And my occasional slower response times (with grace).

I’m still here, and would love to capture your beautiful families, babies, and important moments in your lives. But in the meantime, I hope you all stay well on the inside. ♥️

Your sign to start decorating for Christmas is here. ❤️🎄🎁✨(anyone who disagrees gets coal from Santa, just saying).

These two also belong in a hallmark movie. ❤️

Some days
I am more wolf
than woman,
and I am still learning
how to stop apologizing

Life lately… it’s been a whirlwind. I’ve basically been living in my sweats, biking, holding my little sister’s hand through her labor and meeting my new niece 💕😍, spending time with friends and family, enjoying the scenery of life, reflecting, boycotting sugar, and taking supplements to finally reverse my gut health issues (honestly, that part deserves its own blog).

And somewhere in the mix, I’ve been capturing your beautiful moments and reminding myself to rest—giving myself permission to take a break. And in that pause, I’ve realized what I love most about my job: documenting the people you love most, the moments that change your life forever, and the memories you never want to forget.

Because of who I am, I know the trajectory for my business—it’s toward the most intimate moments life offers. Births. Unconventional weddings. Creative love stories. The dates where I happily third-wheel just to capture you being you.

Three things I always want my clients to know:
1. I’ll always show you the back of my camera during the shoot (unless you’re giving birth—of course).
2. I’ll always ask if you have a “good side” or anything you want me to be mindful of during our session. I’ll also tell you to please be picky.
3. I’ll never make you feel bad for following up. Creatives can get INSANELY busy, and I genuinely appreciate the nudge if something slips on my end. You can reach out anytime—these are your moments. I fully understand that.

If you know someone about to give birth, planning a wedding that breaks the mold, or wanting their story told in a creative way—send them my way.

Thank you for following along and supporting my journey. I do this for you. ❤️

Cheers to the backyard wedding reception I crashed last night 😏

I was biking home, turned my butt around, walked up to their front door, and asked if the bride and groom had someone capturing it. Turns out, they didn’t — they had just gotten married in Utah two weeks prior and had a photographer then.

So, I offered to shoot for an hour (on the house), raced home on my bike, grabbed my gear, and drove back. These are a glimpse of what happened in that hour 😍💕

I know I’m bold… but sometimes the most beautiful stories find you if you’re willing to let them.

If your website or social media presence is one of the first contact points for potential clients, does it reflect the value you and your team bring to the table?

I offer headshots, team photos, lifestyle/brand imagery, and storytelling content (such as testimonials). My books are open—contact me via my website: www.savvyphotage.com or email: [email protected] 👩🏻‍💻📸

Here are some photos from last week with the team at NorthWing Digital —a digital marketing agency based in Hopkins that balances strategy with creativity and data with storytelling. I wanted their photos to reflect that.

Today, I needed to get out of my bubble. So, I crossed state lines and went to Ember and Bean in Hudson, WI. When I say this place is a true gem, I don’t just mean the plants were cute and the coffee was lovely. Or that dogs are welcome—which was a huge win, considering I got to pet a 10-week-old puppy and watch three different dogs enjoy pup cups.

What I really mean is the joy I found. The laughter. The connection. The little things that fill daily life with meaning, that If we aren’t paying attention, we miss.

Maddy, one of the girls who works there, doesn’t have social media. She likes to draw and read comics. She’s also hilariously expressive and makes everyone laugh. Riley and Gabby joke around like sisters, chatting like no one else in the world exists (unless a customer walks in 😉). Together, they lit up the room.

I needed this—to focus on the small moments. To focus on the qualities of others—the things that give us our individuality. They are meant to be cherished and noticed. I can get so caught up in my own life that I miss the life and goodness happening all around me.

So yeah, I love that coffee shop and I love being able to capture life, unposed.

I saw her lift her left hand into view of his iPhone camera. Instinctively, I started walking toward them. When she saw me approaching, she lit up and asked if I’d be willing to take a photo of them on his iPhone because they had just gotten engaged. So yeah, here are a few from the photoshoot we did… using my camera. 😆🥰

PSA to all photographers—if you want to stay passionate about what you do, serve. Use your gift to give. Yes, make sure you get paid and protect yourself and the value you bring (especially my fellow people-pleasers), but be generous at times if you have the capacity. It can make someone’s day, and fill you more than you expect.

Congrats, Wyatt and Lizzie! So thankful our paths crossed. 💕
