MINNESOTA LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER
For families who crave the real stuff—the love, the laughter, the mess—and all the moments in between.
The family you see on a Tuesday morning with messy hair and mismatched pajamas is, in fact, just as beautiful as you think, but life moves fast, and I want you to be able to remember those simple, imperfect moments exactly how you see them every day.
There’s magic to be found in every chapter of your life. Through my lens, I’ll show you what you already know deep down: the love and connection you feel in the quiet chaos of family life is the heart of a life worth celebrating.
We’re skipping the stiff poses, forced smiles, and “perfect” shots because the moments that matter most are never staged.
The LIFESTYLE photography process
Documenting the seasons that are
oh-so-sweet
Life is full of moments worth celebrating. Lifestyle photography tells your story as it is right now—authentic, joyful, and beautifully messy.
step 1: let's dream it up
First, we’ll hop on a call or chat over email to brainstorm your vision. Are we chasing golden-hour glow in a meadow or leaning into the cozy chaos of your living room? Whether you have a clear picture in your mind or just a vibe you want to capture, I’ll help shape the session into something personal and meaningful to you.
step 2: make it official
Next, we’ll nail down the details—location, timing, outfits, and all those little touches that make the session you. I’ll share tips to help everyone feel at ease, and together, we’ll create a session that’s easygoing and super fun for everyone involved.
step 3: lights, camera, connection
When it’s time for the session, my job is to guide you into natural moments of connection—ones that look and feel like you. We’ll laugh, explore, and play, capturing authentic smiles, tender touches, and everything in between.
step 4: your memories, delivered
Within 1-2 weeks of your session, I’ll send a sneak peek of a few favorite images. Then, the full gallery will arrive a few weeks later, complete with the moments you’ll want to frame, share, and treasure forever. Each photo is a chapter of your story, ready to relive again and again.

Family sessions are for the cuddles, the giggles, and the love that fills your home. You’ll get a mix of classic smiles and candid moments, perfect for your gallery wall and those frames on Grandma’s mantel. Sessions are relaxed, playful, and all about celebrating your family’s personality.
