I wrote a guide with my action plan, also information for rescheduling and new bookings during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I'm doing everything possible right now to help couples who need help. I am here to support you. There's a link right above this FAQ to the guide.

A lot of couples I photograph feel this way. I'm here to guide you through portraits. The style of posing I use allows you to focus on each other instead of looking at the camera. I'll direct you and guide you through your session. My goal is to give you confidence and capture the way you naturally are together.

If you’re super budget conscious but in love with the idea of me being your photographer let’s talk and see if we can customize something that works for everyone.

If I have your date open yes! Contact me and let's talk about it.

It's best to contact me as soon as your date is confirmed. If you have several dates you're choosing from you can contact me with those.

Your non-refundable retainer is reduced to 10% of your package during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Usually, it will be 25% of your total wedding package.)

If you want engagement pictures, let's do it! If you already did engagement pictures we can talk about what you'd like in your package instead.

All travel within about 2 hours of Belle Plaine, MN is included. This covers the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, Mankato and Rochester areas. Beyond this, it's 1$ per mile driven in Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas and Wisconsin.

For weddings that require more travel, let's talk about it.

I've been shooting weddings for eight years.

I have over a decade of experience as a professional photographer and a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communications. I started my career by doing commercial assisting in college, then graduated in 2008 and was employed by a corporate studio. In August of 2012, I started my own business full time.

A second photographer can make portraits go faster, and give you more opportunities to capture the action at large weddings. I also shoot weddings solo. We'll talk about which choice is right for you.

I'm always excited to shoot somewhere new and bring a fresh perspective to your venue. I can do a tour so I'm familiar with venue spaces and lighting conditions before your wedding day.

The final number of pictures you receive depends on how long I’m shooting and what events happen during the wedding. Quality is more important to me than a set number of shots. My goal is to deliver pictures that feel complete in telling your wedding story.

Yes! Please do. You get printing rights and permission to share on social media too. You can print through my lab or download your files and use your preferred printer.

Weddings are delivered in about 8-10 weeks. Engagements take 2-3 weeks. I value editing that looks professional, consistent and natural, so I take time to look at and edit each picture individually.
