Welcome to the blog

Here you can find recent story sessions, love stories, or even updates on my life! After all, what is a world without stories? Here are some of mine.

In A Nutshell | 2017

What do you do to celebrate a year? This year I went through all the photos I took in 2017 and re-lived all of the stories I was invited to tell. I looked through weddings, engagements, all my Story Sessions, and threw in…

Bakken Family

I met Kaia and her family through mutual friends and we connected instantly over our overlapping careers. Our friendship has taken off you’ll often find us enjoying a weekday evening creating together. Kaia makes journals and books for her business Dustling + Hart, and…

Baby Luna

I walked into Chris + Jenessa’s Stillwater home to be greeted with Alex’s bursting enthusiasm for his new little sister. Throughout the session, he kept giving her kisses and even (with the help of mom) sang her “Over The Rainbow”. Luna is definitely in good hands so long as big brother Alex is around. Telling the…

Zach + Christina’s love dates way back to when they went to preschool together. I entered their story in college when Zach and I were in similar…

Jenna + Jimmy’s Snowy Engagement

When Jenna said they wanted to do their engagement session in the winter, I was so on board. Living in the state of Minnesota, you don’t get many couples brave enough to utilize our beautiful winters because of how cold it is. She had mentioned that if it was snowing, it would be a plus, but we wouldn’t schedule around Mother Nature. We had been watching the weather…

M + J | Wedding | IL

I can’t get over how honest, raw, and true real love is. And to say that I get to be a part of capturing that love, well, that’s beyond my wildest dreams. Molly and Josh have the extra good stuff…
