Thanks for coming to take a peek at my space on the web. I'm a Minnesota based photographer serving couples, families, seniors, and small businesses throughout the Minneapolis and the Twin Cities areas. I believe that the most meaningful photos aren't just beautiful...they tell the story of the people and the relationships that matter most
I was a studio art major at the University of Northwestern in St. Paul and secretly loved critique day. I love the month of July and have been trying to figure out how to live in both MN and FL for the past 3 years. I hate heights, but have been bridge and cliff jumping to try to overcome my fears. (Neither worked, and skydiving is not in the cards.) Dark chocolate, Fika Coffee, hot summer days, the beaches of Florida, loyalty, Minnesota lakes, genuineness and authenticity are all things I love. Most of my clients become friends, and I promise you are guaranteed a hug at some point after we meet.
I have been documenting people in love for over two decades and don't plan on stoping anytime soon. Reach out; I can't wait to hear your story!


My life isn't perfect but I am thankful for every second. With this crew around me I am guaranteed laughter, joy, energy and quality time. When I'm not out photographing incredible people, you can typically find me with one of my four favorite people.

Married for over 20 years, my best friend and husband Kevin and I met because he fell from a building. (Ask me about it some time and I'll be sure to tell the story). He continues to keep me on my toes and keeps me laughing each day. We love travel, hiking, and exploring new places together. He's my biggest supporter in both life and photography.

As a mom of three young adults, my life is full and filled with energy and conversation. As a family we love traveling, visiting national parks (15 so far and counting), spending time together at the beach when we can and soaking up MN summers. Between baseball games, college life and plenty of laughter, I am incredibly thankful for this crew
Celebrating Sidney and Ryan today!!
Happy one year anniversary to you both!! What an incredible day we had, I hop your year has been just as amazing. Many blessings to you both!
Well… that sure went fast.
It feels like just yesterday we were dropping Lydia off at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, wondering what these next few years would hold for her. Today, we’re celebrating her graduation with a degree in communications.
Watching Lydia grow into such an incredible, Godly young woman has been one of the greatest gifts. Through her time serving students with Cru, she has poured so much love, encouragement, and faith into the lives of others. She leads with kindness, serves with humility, and cares for people so deeply.
We are endlessly proud of the woman she has become and so excited for this next chapter as she begins working in HR with Mayo Clinic in Wisconsin. There’s no doubt she will continue making people feel seen, valued, and cared for wherever she goes.
God has been so faithful through every step, and we can’t wait to see what He has ahead for you, Lydia.
Becoming an entrepreneur wasn’t easy. It took a lot of hard work in understanding what I wasn’t good at before understanding what I was good at. I failed a lot in the process.

We often only see the good things and success stories on social media, but getting to the point where we are confident in ourselves and our work takes time and lots of failures. Trust me. 25 years and still working at it!!
Spring at Lake Harriet gave us the dreamiest backdrop for Lindy + Arend’s engagement session. The blooms were at their absolute peak, the flowers were full and vibrant, and every corner felt like something out of a painting. These two made the whole evening feel effortless as we wandered through all the beauty that comes with Minnesota spring.
Now we’re counting down to their September wedding, when the scenery will look completely different filled with rich autumn colors and falling leaves but just as beautiful. I cannot wait to celebrate these two in a whole new season of life together!
If you’re recently engaged and dreaming up your own engagement session or wedding day, I’d love to connect
