Maggie’s Identity Portraits took my breath away. This woman was so brave and vulnerable. Exploring what her adoption journey has and continues to mean for her. Embracing all the complexities not to be more palatable to others but to choose herself. Through this process her words to herself ring with clarity: “Maybe love was never meant to be secured through your disappearance. maybe it comes when you are most fully here. And maybe, for the first time, it doesn’t feel like something you have to earn or hold together, but something you can finally recognize as you. You are the love.”

No doubt the people make this city great. Proof that when we stand together we can endure.

The emergence of bikes and shadows on a classic Minneapolis summer day. What a thrill!

Couldn’t be happier that it’s popsicle season 🦄

Now booking documentary-style family session for summer! Those fleeting moments you have as a family are everything. Those little rituals, moments of connection, even the mundane and seemingly uninteresting daily experiences become the things we miss in the future. Because (as said in The Office) you’re actually living the good old days now, capturing those moments is a way to remember them, feel them, and hold them long after you’ve left them.

Fun with a pumpkin, light sprinkles of rain, and a family that is down to make the most out of a turbulent day. Taking photos with a 3 year old is no joke! But we rolled with whatever came our way and the outcome is priceless ❤️

I'm so excited to photograph the beautiful people signing up for my fall mini sessions in just a few weeks! If you're on the fence here's what I'll say - photos may not seem important until you regret not having them. Like anything time moves forward, our memories fade, and the world changes around us. High quality, expressive images that capture you and/or your family in a season of your life are irreplaceable little treasures that you can return to time and time again. No fading, no changing, just an honest and real transportation of the self to a specific time. Trust me, you won't regret spending the time or the money. Whether you book a fall mini-session with me to get started or book a full session with me, I want you to know that it's a true honor to with you and for you - images that will stand the test of time.
