I am a Minnesota gal through and through. I take pride in growing up in the boondocks, but take on city life full force. I just finished my masters degree in forensic psychology in Spring 2022 with most of my work centered around sexual violence. I've worked a number of jobs, including a halfway house and a criminal investigations intern.
I am an Aries, INTP, enneagram type 5, whatever personality category you use! I am basically an ambitious, driven, analytic type gal based on any test I take.
I never believed in "the one" until I met them in 2018 when we were a part of the same friend group. My partner is a New Yorker (and no not the city but it's red headed step sister Buffalo, go Bills). We have been together for 6 years and got married in August of 2024, I couldn't imagine my life without him. This is what drew me to photographing couples.
I think that there is something so special about capturing the way we interact authentically with our lovers. friends and family. People being people. And I mean ALL LOVERS, as I am one for the girls, the gays, and theys.
Here's a little more on my story about how I got to where I am as an elopement and wedding photographer.
I grew up in a family of photographers. My father and grandmother both having professional cameras while I was young, so as you can imagine I got pretty comfortable in front of a camera at a young age.
My parents decided to buy me my first camera when I was 13, and I took a few courses while in high school. Fast forward to 2020 when I was in college pursuing a forensic psychology degree, I did a photoshoot with some friends. I decided to post an ad to Facebook marketplace for "cheap photography" and was shocked when people wanted to book me.
From then on, my business has kept growing and growing and I have made more connections and learned more life stories than I had ever imagined. By 2025 I will have photographed over 100 weddings and served over 200 different couples and I couldn't feel more blessed to be pursuing something 13 year old me dreamed of.
