Minneapolis Family Photographer
Capturing authentic moments that celebrate both the quiet and joyful seasons of family life.
Your family is constantly changing, and the moments you want to remember aren’t always the perfectly posed ones. They’re the tiny details, the belly laughs, the quiet cuddles, the curious little personalities, and all the in-between moments that make this season yours. My goal is to create photographs that feel like your family. Ones that show not just how you look, but how it feels to be together.
Family Sessions That Feel Like You
I believe the best family photos happen when you can simply be together and present. Instead of spending your session worrying about everyone looking at the camera, we’ll focus on the moments that naturally unfold like the way your child reaches for your hand, the laughter that happens in between prompts, and the little pieces of your family’s story that make it uniquely yours.

Mini sessions are a simple way to capture this season before it slips by. These 15-minute sessions are perfect for updated family photos, halfway to one sessions, first birthdays, cake smashes, or simply documenting your little one exactly as they are right now. They're a great fit for families with little ones who have shorter attention spans or for those who just want a handful of beautiful images to remember this season.

Extended family sessions are for those who wish to capture multiple generations in one session. These typically include grandparents, cousins, nieces and nephews, adult siblings, your own immediate family, and any other family members you'd like to include. These sessions are typically fast paced with the goal of capturing the full group as well as the individual families within.

If the weather isn’t cooperating for our photoshoot I will reach out and we will work together to schedule a new date!
-
Absolutely! Pets are family too, and I'd love to include them in your session. Please just let me know ahead of time so we can choose a pet-friendly location if needed and plan for the best experience for everyone (including your furry family member!).
-
My style is authentic and candid, with gentle guidance and direction. While capturing images I take an honest and relaxed approach focusing on the perfectly imperfect candid moments. This doesn't mean your whole session will be completely candid (unless you want it to be!) as I have a list of poses and prompts I run through and catch those adorable candid moments along the way.
My editing style is warm, but true to color to achieve a timeless and authentic look.

Kids will be kids! It's really easy to get frustrated when kids aren't cooperating for photos, but please relax and let go of the expectations. Maybe it’ll take a bit of extra time, but we will get there and capture some adorable photos and interactions! I recommend bringing along a bag of drinks, snacks, wipes as well as an activity or favorite stuffed animal.
-
Where what feels like you! The best photos happen when you're comfortable and confident, so choose outfits that feel true to you. I also recommend dressing for the weather and the type of session we're planning. Whether that means cozy sweaters for a chilly fall evening or clothes you don't mind exploring in. If you're unsure, I'm always happy to help with outfit planning!
