Your love is unlike any other. Words don’t do it justice, and the magnitude and magic of it simply can’t be explained through logic or reason. But it can be captured in all of its whimsy and intimacy through meaningful images of what your love actually feels like. I specialize in capturing your memories in motion through playful and adventurous engagement sessions and wedding days. The images you receive won’t be staged images that look like anybody else’s. They’ll be documented moments that are uniquely yours.

But SERIOUSLY! Your love is already one of my favorite things in the entire world, second to capturing it through photos that you can feel every time you look back at them.
Some of my other favorite things include supporting local businesses, daydreaming about being a stay-at-home cat mom, adoring my husband and everything he does, and watching La La Land for approximately the twelfth time. I’m currently based out of Saint Paul, Minnesota, and I’m always down to hop on a plane and document your love wherever you are in the world.
