The heart behind what I do and who I am as a photographer.

Picture this: it’s the week of your wedding. You wake up on the Monday before your big day to a new message. To your surprise, your bestie has sent you a Starbucks gift card to treat yourself. Your week ahead includes a massage, nails with your girls, date night with your fiancé, the rehearsal dinner, […]

It’s not too often that you’ll find me in a cityscape; as a central Minnesota wedding photographer, I’m frequently capturing an outdoor wedding near a lake somewhere. But having the opportunity to photograph LeaRae and Colin’s St. Cloud urban industrial chic wedding was such a fun change of pace. The Regency in downtown St. Cloud […]

Let me guess: when you picture eloping, it’s probably not in Minnesota, right?! And hey, I get it! But as a Minnesota wedding and lifestyle photographer, I can truly say that the Land of 10,000 Lakes is one of the most underrated places in the US to elope. With a diverse ecosystem, 4 seasons, endless […]

It’s not too often that you find a couple whose chemistry is just so effortlessly evident, even on a wedding day. As a Minnesota wedding and lifestyle photographer (and past bride), I know firsthand just how nerve-racking a wedding day can be. But Katie and Nick didn’t let any nerves stop them from having the […]

If you’re a Minnesota native (or just a big fan), you’ll know that we love our lakes around here. So when there’s an opportunity to photograph a wedding overlooking a lake, I’m there. Documenting Faith and Alex’s intimate lakeside resort wedding in Northern Minnesota was an absolute honor; the day was full of intentionality, emotion, […]

As a wedding photographer (and past bride), let me tell ya: I have seen it all when it comes to things going really well, and things going not-so-well on wedding days. It seems like you can plan your heart out and something still doesn’t go as expected. One of my deepest passions as a wedding […]

I cannot believe that it’s already been almost 8 years since I married my person! And while I’ve had plenty of time to reflect on what I wish I had done differently and what I’m glad I did, I definitely see things in a different light now that I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer. […]

Have you ever had those moments in life where you can’t help but to think “you’ve got to be joking”? Ally and Peter’s urban Nashville, Tennessee engagement session had all the makings of becoming one of those moments. But thanks to their flexibility and faith, we were able to make the most of the situation […]

When it comes to deciding what size wedding is right for you, there are several factors to consider. From location, to budget, and everything in between, it can be a daunting decision. As a wedding and portrait photographer, I’ve had the honor of capturing weddings of all sizes. While it’s ultimately a personal decision, I’m […]

Where are all my “I have no idea what to wear” people at? Uff, I feel you! And then you add in finding an outfit for your engagement session!? As a wedding and lifestyle photographer (and past bride), I know firsthand how daunting the task of choosing the ‘perfect’ outfit can be. There seems to […]
