Mission Statement
I spent years learning to read natural light and grand spaces through landscape photography. But my favorite view has always been honest human connection.
My approach to photography and to life is rooted in humility, kindness, and deep gratitude for the present moment. Because I value clear communication and genuine compassion, I don't want our session to feel like a performance or an awkward chore. Think of it less as a photo shoot and more as a relaxed, stress-free space where you can just be yourselves, entirely supported and exactly as you are.

FAQ
What exactly is a mini session, and how does it differ from a full shoot?
A. A mini session is a short, fast-paced photo shoot designed to give you a handful of beautiful portrait updates without the time or financial commitment of a full session. While full sessions allow for multiple outfits, multiple locations, and a relaxed timeline, mini sessions are highly focused, lasting about 15–20 minutes at a pre-selected Minneapolis location on a specific date.
What happens if it rains or the weather is bad?
A. Because I rely entirely on gorgeous, natural light, the weather plays a big role! If the forecast calls for heavy rain, high winds, or severe weather on our shoot date, I will make the official call 12-24 hours in advance and we will reschedule or we may potentially be able to find an indoor location.
Can we bring our dog/animal or a prop?
A. Animals are always welcome, provided the specific outdoor location we are using allows pets! Just let me know ahead of time so I can plan for it. Because mini sessions move quickly, I recommend keeping props to a minimum so we can maximize our 15–20 minute session.
When will we get our photos?
A. I love getting your images to you while the energy of our shoot is still fresh. While the full gallery takes about one week to polish (two weeks maximum), I always aim to send a few "Sneak Peek" hero shots within 48 hours so you have something to share right away!
What should we wear? Do you have any styling advice?
A. Since outdoor, natural light portraits look best with a soft and dreamy aesthetic, I highly recommend neutral tones, earthy colors, and soft pastels (like creams, soft blues, sages, or warm tans). Try to coordinate your outfits rather than perfectly matching. Avoid loud patterns, graphic tees, or bright neon colors, as they can distract from your faces and reflect unwanted colors onto your skin.
