Let’s make pictures that celebrate you.
Minnesota Elopement Photographer
Hi there! I’m grateful you’re here.
Every person who steps in front of my camera leaves a lasting mark on my heart. Your trust, your story, and your energy shape the art we create together.
As a Minnesota photographer specializing in weddings, elopements, and portraits, my purpose is to help you slow down, be present, and capture the real beauty of your life — the laughter, the quiet, and everything in between.

My photography journey
My love of photography started with film.
I learned to use a camera and develop my own film in high school, and my first “official” portrait session was a film shoot with my little sister and her friend for their senior pictures. From there, photography kept finding its way into my life.
I worked in a film development studio and photographed portraits on the side while working my day job. Eventually, I went back to school and earned my degree in Visual Communications, which gave me an even deeper appreciation for the relationship between photography, design, light, and storytelling.
After college, I landed at a corporate photography studio, where I photographed everything from headshots and portraits to the occasional wedding on the side. It didn’t take long for me to realize that weddings were where I wanted to be. I loved the energy, the emotion, the unpredictability, and the fact that every couple brought an entirely different story with them.
So in 2012, I took a giant leap of faith and left the studio to build something of my own.
More than a decade, a few hundred weddings, countless portraits, and a whole lot of beautiful chaos later, I’m still here.I can’t imagine doing anything else.
What started with a film camera in high school has turned into a life-long career built around something I care deeply about: creating photographs that feel honest, meaningful, and unmistakably you.
Finding Balance
Photography is a rewarding career, and I believe in balancing this with other interests.
I love getting out and exploring – hiking, road tripping, spontaneous adventures, and stargazing are the best!
I’m inspired by the beauty of the North Shore and the Minneapolis Skyline, the little moments of everyday life too.
I love science, reading fantasy & non-fiction books, snuggling my cats, and listening to podcasts or singing along to my favorite music in the car.
