lifestyle & adventure photography

My background in street photography has influenced my approach to couples and family photography to be documentary and storytelling rather than full of cheesy, rigid poses. I specialize in creating genuine photography experiences and use fun prompts to draw out your genuine family or relationship dynamic during our time together. I work with minimal props in-home, in the outdoors, or in a rented studio space.

Couples & Romantic Partners

Portrait experiences starting at 400

Newly engaged, or wanting a "just 'cause" session? As an LGBTQ couples and partners photographer, this is my jam! I’m not about the cookie-cutter, gendered, and stiff poses we see in traditional couples photography. Instead, let’s work together to capture your relationship dynamic in a way that feels authentic, celebratory, and affirming.

All packages include:

  • An optional meet-and-greet (in person or on Google Meet)

  • Location scouting

  • Collaborative outfit styling

  • One complimentary print from me

  • Access to professional printing labs through my online store AND a print release to print yourself through another company

  • A digital gallery delivery of all fully edited, high resolution images (no upselling here - you get all the good ones. I won’t hold any hostage).

  • Travel fees included up to 100 miles each way from Minneapolis

Surprise proposals

Custom quotes for photography and planning assistance, average investment 500

If you’re hoping to propose soon and A. want it all captured by a Minnesota proposal photographer and B. need someone who’s witnessed many proposals to talk through how to pop the question… you’re in the right place.

Proposals are my all-time favorite thing to photograph. The joy, the surprise, the sentimentality… they are always so, so sweet and I’m almost always down to come along for the ride.

Here’s the thing: I am COMMITTED to helping you plan the most special proposal ever. From scouting out the best places to propose in Minnesota, to laying out sticks on the ground so you know where exactly to do it to get the best lighting and angle, and coming up with code words to be extra-sneaky… I don’t take my job as proposal assistant lightly. So if you’re thinking of proposing to your honey and want extra-special photos and a new friend to map out details with: I’m pretty much already working on my disguise.

My surprise proposal package includes:

  • An introductory meet-and-greet (in person or on Google Meet)

  • Unlimited planning calls

  • Location scouting

  • Next day sneak peeks

  • A password-protected digital gallery of all quality edited images in high resolution, and a complimentary 8x10 print

  • Access to professional printing labs through my online store AND a print release to print yourself through another company

  • A digital gallery delivery of all fully edited, high resolution images (no upselling here - you get all the good ones. I won’t hold any hostage).

  • Travel fees included up to 100 miles each way from Minneapolis

Families & littles

Portrait experiences starting at 400

Let’s ditch the rigid, stuffy family portraits that look like everyone else’s and get straight to business: making art to hang on your walls. My family sessions with young kids are play-centric - I’m not one to force anyone (let alone a kiddo) to cheese at the camera for an hour. I take the time to get to know your family and your individual needs and dynamic so I can lead your session in a way that is fun and stress-free for everyone.

All packages include:

  • An optional meet-and-greet (in person or on Google Meet)

  • Location scouting

  • Collaborative outfit styling

  • One complimentary print from me

  • Access to professional printing labs through my online store AND a print release to print yourself through another company

  • A digital gallery delivery of all fully edited, high resolution images (no upselling here - you get all the good ones. I promise I won’t hold any hostage).

  • Travel fees included up to 100 miles each way from Minneapolis
