Hey! If we haven’t met before or this is your first time reading my blog, I’m a lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis Saint Paul, Minnesota and available for travel throughout the United States. I’ve got family and friends ALL OVER so feel free to reach out and ask if I’ll be in your area soon. I specialize in wedding, newborn, and family lifestyle photography and my goal is to provide you beautiful film inspired imagery that tells a story about who you are.

Family sessions used to intimidate me so much! I was always stressed about getting “perfect” images with everyone looking and smiling. But as time went on, I realized that my favorite images were always the more candid looking ones that showed me who the person really is. Family portraiture doesn’t have to be all about “perfect” smiles and poses. Imperfection is beautiful. Your real smile, the one you make when you’re belly laughing, is beautiful. The quiet in between moments are beautiful. Because my approach to photography is so dependent on who you are as a family, every single session looks just a little bit different. Every kid likes something different. Every parent approaches time with their kids different. And every session reflects that in some way.

When I got home from this session, I was instantly in love with every image. So instead of just showing you 10 images for this blog post, you’re getting the whole gallery. Hopefully this helps anyone who’s on the fence about hiring me to see a full session. I’m confident in my work and in every image. When you hire me, I want you to be confident in knowing that you didn’t hire someone with a portfolio filled with one off images from multiple sessions. Every session I deliver is filled with beautiful images. So much so that I freeze up when posting to social media. It’s hard to share just one or two.

Enjoy!
