I'm a fun-loving, quirky, passionate, mother of 2 crazy cute boys. I've been taking photos since 2009 of everyone and everything, absolutely obsessing over all things love. It wasn't until 2018 that I started thinking seriously about turning what I love into a career but was so afraid to take the official leap and call myself a "photographer". After the birth of my first son in 2020, the calling got louder and louder and I knew I needed to just ignore the if's and what's and just really go for it! Fast forward 2 years in 2022 I quit my full time job working HR and went full time with photography and I've been photographing babies, couples, and families ever since!
I graduated from Bemidij State University with a degree in business management and this is where I met my husband where we both played college Rugby! I only lasted a semester in Rugby (it's no joke!) but out of that I got my husband and father to my beautiful kids!
When it comes to taking photos and documenting moments I'd like to say it has always come very naturally, however I still dedicate several weeks each year furthering my skill set and education in regards to all things photography. Whether it's editing retreats, or online courses, I'm constantly adding to my knowledge and skillset to deliver the best quality and experience that I can to my families and couples. I truly TRULY love what I do.
When you book me, I am deeply invested in your story. Your photos are as important to me as if they were my own and your session is completely customized and tailored to you. Sure, I may have the nice camera and eye for composition, but it's really about the connection between you and your loved ones that really makes the moments and images beautiful.
So...in regards to moments, I capture them all. The tender, the sentimental, the sweet, silly, and choatic. Any and all moments that are true to the occasion or season that you're in, consider them preserved. You don't need the perfect Pinterest house, grand venue or outfit to achieve gorgeous and stunning photographs, just your love. I promise.

It's when I catch myself smiling ear to ear behind my computer while editing your photos that I know I'm doing what I meant to do.

Meet the Fam
When I'm not behind the camera capturing memories for others, I am behind it preserving them for me and my own family. I am in the thick of the mom life trying hard to survive the toddler years as well as preserve them. I am happily married to my college sweetheart, and together we have two amazing little boys who possess such a zest for life and keep us on our toes daily! For fun we love to play outside, snuggle up to movies, bonfires, and go on outdoor adventures.
Meet the chaos crew!
