welcome to

Really, really late in making this post, BUT it is made nonetheless. 2018 was a year of transition for me. I graduated college and entered the workforce and a big part of the transition not only was learning how to be an adult in the real world, but also learning how to balance my full-time […]

Best of 2018

When in Minnesota for Thanksgiving, I had the opportunity to photograph some of my cousins and their families, along with my aunt and uncle who are now grandparents to three adorable little ones! Such a fun and special session to be a part of. There are few things as precious as seeing loved ones take […]

Nelson Family

I photographed the Clary family in November on a collllddddd fall day. By the end of the shoot we all had cold faces and cold hands, but they were all troopers through the whole thing! Idk what it is, but something about colder days in this city is so magical to me. Kat emailed me […]

Clary Family

You guys. Proposal shoots. Are. So. Much. Fun. Warning: This will be a longer blurb, but worth it!) I met Stephen back in 2013 when I was on my gap year in Denmark. We went to church together (his dad is the pastor) and he was in the same youth group as my sister. I […]

Stephen & Amanda | North Avenue Beach Proposal

I took newborn photos for this lovely family when they became a family of three. They reached out again this summer to ask about doing another session focused on capturing their family life (now including a 4th member!) in their home just before they moved out and began life in a new home. Home is […]

Baby Zoe

As per usual, here is a very delayed travel blog post from a few months ago! My sister spent this past semester studying abroad in Jönkoping, Sweden, so we went to visit and spend Thanksgiving with her this past November. It was so fun to see the town she called home for a few months, […]

Sweden — 2018

I met sweet baby Matias and his wonderful parents a few months back, and I figured it was time to share some of my favorites from this newborn session. I always feel incredibly honored whenever anyone invites me into a moment of their lives so that I can capture it, but when it comes to […]

Baby Matias

So I’m only 6 months late in posting this, but I graduated college in May 2018 and to celebrate, I went to California with my family. For a little over a week, we basked in the beauty of the beaches in Santa Barbara and of the mountains in Solvang and it. was. great. In case […]

Southern California — 2018

This post is a special one, because my best friend got married, and I got to capture it all. And although I may be a bit biased, this statement is 100% true: Emily + Alec’s wedding was STUNNING and honestly the most joyous wedding I have ever seen in my whole life.  I met Emily […]
