I have known Lori for awhile now. She is my hair and make-up go-to for my Minnesota boudoir sessions. She and I have a blast together and love to laugh. When she got engaged I was so excited for her! Listening to her talk about her plans, and seeing that love radiating from her was […]
When Alex’s mom contacted me about shooting his senior portraits at the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum I was so excited. This museum holds a special place in my heart. See, I took my dad there two years ago because he was such a huge WWII nerd. He loved it. I couldn’t wait to shoot a […]
When I met with Taryn about her wedding day, I got so excited. She was explaining all of the landscaping her dad was doing on their company property, all of the details she was making and putting together and it got me giddy. Then our walk through with the wedding designer, the fabulous Jenna Buyck […]
It is no lie that I LOVE light. I mean, I live and breath by the lighting of a session or wedding. If there is overcast, that’s totally fine, gives us more options on locations. But give me some flare, and I am in heaven. That’s why timing is so important for natural light […]

Get ready, I have a few senior shoots that will be hitting the blog this week 😉 M had scheduled her fall session in October. The day of her session, it snowed. No joke. When I was putting my students on the bus after school, it was snowing on us. I told M, “don’t worry, it looks […]
Want to know what I love the most about my model program? Getting to know my seniors. We do a mini session in the spring, then most of them book my seasons package, so I get to hang out with them multiple times throughout the year. Madison was a blast! I had taken her brother’s […]
I am blessed with this passion for photography. The problem is, I live for light, beautiful scenery, and old buildings. I am constantly looking for the next great photo. Ask my husband, I am known to comment during movies on the use of light… This day was no different. A few weeks ago we had […]
Rewind to August. I am sitting at my parent’s guest house chilling with my family on vacation. My friend, Megan, (who I met in Vegas at WPPI last winter) sends me a message asking if I am attending Showit United. Ummm, what? I had never heard of it. I told her I would do some […]
Had a blast in the heat with S…
