Your new hype girl
I'm the person behind the camera...
Before I ever picked up a camera professionally, I was just a girl in Minnesota who always had one in her hand — capturing my friends, my world, and any little moment that felt like magic. Fast forward a bit, add motherhood, coffee-fueled mornings, lots of learning, and here we are: photographing real life for real families.
I’m a lifestyle photographer because everyday moments have always been the ones that matter most to me. When the love is loud — those are the moments, I live to capture. They’re honest. They're fleeting. And they deserve to be remembered.
I love simple things: fresh air, a thrift-store treasure hunt, great music, my Starbucks vanilla sweet cream cold brew, and being outdoors with my kids. I'm a mom to the sweetest little humans and married to the most supportive guy. Life is full (a little wild sometimes), but it’s beautiful — and that’s exactly what I want your photos to feel like too.
Your session with me will feel comfortable, relaxed, and real — no stiff posing, no forced moments. Think soft, earthy, cool tones and genuine connection. I’ll guide you, cheer you on, and make sure you feel seen every step of the way.
Most of all, your photos will feel like you. Your story, your love, your memories — preserved honestly, beautifully, and forever.
And if you're still reading — hi, I like you already. I can't wait to document your moments, big and small.
The Studio:
STUDIO ELM
Elk River, Minnesota
When you're with me, here's the vibe:
• Prep guides + style inspo to make things stress-free
• Real moments over picture-perfect posing
• A cozy, calm studio space that feels like home
• Movement, emotion, connection — not “say cheese”
• I’ll guide you, but never over-pose you
• Those quiet in-between moments that tell the real story
- Those quiet in-between moments that tell the real story
Come as you are. I’ll take care of the rest
lifestyle photgraphy
Again, I'm here for the real stuff — the meaningful, the messy, the perfectly imperfect. It’s natural, relaxed, and full of genuine connection, not stiff poses or forced smiles.
I blend the best of two worlds:
• A little bit of portrait guidance so you feel confident and supported
• A whole lot of real-life storytelling so your moments unfold naturally
I’ll set the scene, offer gentle direction, and give you prompts that spark honest emotion — but you get to bring it to life in your own way. Because the most beautiful photos happen when you're just being you.
client closets
Along with helpful color palettes and style boards, I’ve got optional gowns ready for women (sizes XS–3X) and little ones (Preemie–3T).
Think of it as a little wardrobe boost for your session — no stress, no last-minute outfit panic, just easy, beautiful options that let you focus on the fun (and the photos!).
Whether you want to twirl in a flowing dress or keep it cozy and simple with your kids, I’ve got you covered so your session feels effortless, relaxed, and totally you.
gallery for download
Once your session is wrapped, you’ll receive your full gallery — ready to download, share, and print.
I always encourage printing your photos because there’s something truly nostalgic and irreplaceable about holding a memory in your hands. Screens are fleeting, but printed photos let you relive those moments over and over, fill your walls with love, and create keepsakes that your family can treasure for generations.
These aren’t just images — they’re little time capsules of your life, and they deserve more than a phone screen.
