Experience
Maternity, newborn, baby milestones, and family photography designed to feel as effortless as the memories you'll take home.
The kind of experience that ends with something you can actually hold
From wardrobe styling and optional hair and makeup recommendations to your session and custom artwork, every detail is thoughtfully guided so you can stay present with the people who matter most.
Because you already have enough on your plate.
Planning your Session to Printing your Artwork
Every part of your session is designed to feel calm, supported, and surprisingly simple. From choosing what to wear to hanging artwork on your walls, you'll have guidance at every step, so you can spend less time wondering what comes next and more time soaking in this season.
A full-service experience for the moments you'll want to revisit years from now.
Wardrobe Made Easy
You'll have complimentary access to the studio wardrobe, thoughtfully chosen for mothers, babies, young children and even dads, so creating a beautifully coordinated look doesn't become another thing to figure out. The result feels effortless on camera and even better when those photographs become part of your home.
One less decision. A whole lot more peace of mind.
Welcome to My Light-Filled Studio in Northeast Minneapolis
Located in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, my studio is bright, welcoming, and designed to help your session feel easy from the moment you walk in. It's where the wardrobe hangs ready, the light pours in, and everything is set up with your family in mind.
The fridge is stocked, the snack drawers are ready, and the space is thoughtfully prepared so you don't have to think about the little things.
Newborns nap here. Toddlers explore. Parents can relax.
This is where real life meets beautiful light. Where the energy, movement, and personality of your family become photographs that feel honest, connected, and somehow even more beautiful than you remember. That's the part that stays with families long after the session is over.
Come in, get comfortable, and let me take it from there.

Two Ways to Work Together
A full-service experience
A shorter studio experience
*The commission fee does not include digital files, artwork, or collections, which are purchased separately after your session.
When should I book my session?
I recommend booking early, as most clients reserve at least 6 weeks in advance. Maternity sessions are typically photographed between 28 and 34 weeks, and newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy.
What should we wear?
You’ll receive wardrobe guidance and complimentary access to the studio wardrobe, so everything feels simple and beautifully pulled together.
Do you offer hair and makeup?
While I do not offer hair and makeup in-house, I’m happy to share trusted artist recommendations and help point you in the right direction if you’d like to add that to your session experience.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are offered in my Northeast Minneapolis studio, in your home, or outdoors in the Twin Cities.
What if my kids do not cooperate?
That’s completely okay. I take a child-led approach, so there is room for movement, personality, and the moments that unfold naturally.
When will we see our images?
Once your gallery is ready, your images will be delivered in a private online gallery where you can view them and choose the collection that feels right for your family.
What products do you offer?
I offer digital collections as well as printed artwork, including albums and wall art. Matching digital images are included with any artwork purchase.
What is a commission fee?
The commission fee reserves your date and reflects the experience of commissioning an artist to create something personal and lasting for your family. Collections and artwork are selected separately.
How do I book?
Simply reach out through the contact form, and I’ll walk you through the next steps. From there, we’ll choose your session date and begin planning the details together.
