Minneapolis family Photographer
For families who'd rather laugh together than pose all afternoon.
Maybe you’ve been meaning to book a Minneapolis family photography session for months, but coordinating outfits, schedules, locations, and little personalities can make it easy to put it off.
I make the whole experience feel lighter. From wardrobe guidance to gentle, child-led direction during your session, I handle the details so you can settle in, enjoy your family, and let the moments unfold naturally.
You'll leave with photographs that remind you what it actually felt like to be together that day.
"Love how you capture my kids and 'freeze' them - they move so fast and don't slow down long enough for me to truly see them!"
— LUCIE C
"They are beautiful. You were wonderful to work with, thank you so much!!"

Photography Studio in Minneapolis
Studio Location:
1330 Quincy St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413
My Northeast Minneapolis studio is intentionally simple and peaceful, with a curated wardrobe for moms and kids, thoughtful styling support, and a space that feels calm the moment you walk in. There are soft places to land and little comforts for little people, because small details make a big difference when you’re parenting.
No props. No forced smiles. No awkward posing that doesn’t feel like you. Just images that land somewhere between real and refined.

That is a very normal concern, and it is already built into the way I work. Family sessions are designed around real children, real energy, and real connection. Some of the best images come from movement, play, and the moments in between.
2. What should we wear?
You will have access to wardrobe options for moms, dads, and children under five, along with guidance if you prefer to wear your own clothing. You will not have to figure it out alone.
3. How long are signature sessions?
Signature sessions are flexible and usually last around 45 to 60 minutes, but there is no strict time pressure. The goal is to create space for a relaxed experience and a strong final gallery.
Do you offer both studio and outdoor family sessions?
Yes. Signature sessions can be photographed in the studio or on location. Petite sessions are held in the studio.
