I believe

As a photographer, I really believe that every moment is worth capturing. But, golden hour sessions? They're my absolute favorite! There's something magical about that warm, glowing light and the connection I get to build with my clients. Watching families grow and change over the years is one of the most rewarding parts of my job - it's more than just the photos; it's about preserving those memories to last a lifetime.

Thanks for stopping by-- I can't wait to get to know you!

One of my favorite spots is the Boundary Waters - there's something about spending time in the middle of nowhere that really fills my soul! Bringing my camera with is fun to try to share the beauty...but it's truly one of those places you just have to see it to believe it!
