Hello and welcome! I have recently relocated to Portland, Maine from Rochester, Minnesota and serve the wedding and portrait photography needs of Maine, Minnesota and beyond. This is the place to check out my most recent work and to get a glimpse into my life. Feel free to take a look around, I'd love to connect with you!
I know what you are thinking, but I swear I did not hire J.Crew models for this shoot. They are just that cute. Bobby and Ellen chose to do their engagement session at Bobby’s family’s cabin near Chatfield, MN. I love it when couples choose locations that are meaningful to them and it didn’t hurt that it was absolutely gorgeous there. Congratulations on your engagement, Bobby and Ellen and happy wedding planning!

It seems like we were just moving into our new space. Well, that new space just became the old space.
WE’RE MOVING!
Yup, we’re moving a whole block away! In fact, today is moving day and leave it to me to move on a wet, rainy day. And oh yeah, in the middle of wedding season! And leave it to me to feel super nostalgic and yes, a little sad on a happy and exciting day. Don’t get me wrong, I am SO EXCITED to move into our beautiful new space. It’s on the street level of Broadway with great natural light, hardwood floors and exposed brick. It is beautiful and so is the potential that comes along with it. But I don’t like goodbyes. So I’m certain there will be a tear as we close the door to the old office. Lots of good things happened there.
We’ll be having another open house at the new studio on August 4 but if you’re in the area before then, stop by and say hi! Here’s a little preview of the new digs. Until we get settled, I’ll be working from here. Or at least trying to…
It was pouring while we were on our way to Krista and Cole’s wedding. Like POURING. And rain, wedding dresses, and outdoor photos don’t play well together. But then, the sun came out. And it stayed out for the rest of the day! It ended up being a gorgeous day, not only weather wise but love wise too. Krista and Cole had a beautiful ceremony and were married with lots and lots of family and friends surrounding them. Congratulations!!! I hope you have many more days as a married couple as beautiful as your wedding day!
p.s. Krista, you’re stunning.
Being a photographer allows me to help people remember important times in their lives. The happy days, the sad days, the days with big events, and the days in between everything else. I have seen the happiest of happy and the saddest of sad.
Tonight, WCCO recapped one of the saddest days I have photographed. Though grief and tears filled the room that night, love overpowered it. And I hope that is what continues to shine through in the photos of Sophia and her family.

Ahh! It is so so so nice to be outside shooting again and I love how long the days are now. Is it just me or does it seem like everything bloomed and turned green almost overnight? I am loving the green fields lately so that’s where we ended up for Sadie’s 9 month pictures…can’t believe she is 9 months old already! She is adorable but clearly, you can see that! I love her big blue eyes and I think her parents are pretty smitten over her too! 🙂 Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!
I’ve gotten a few albums in lately and thought I would share! I order all my albums from Renaissance and I love them! This is Lana and Patrick’s album. It is an 8×20 and the cover is aluminum with a black leather spine. This is pretty much the mac daddy of albums:
They also got 2 additional albums for their parents. These are 8×10 with the same cover, aluminum with black leather for the spine. 
This is Anne and Richard’s 11×14 album. It is black leather with three photo openings. 
Meet Isabelle and Sebastian. Meet the most well behaved dogs in Rochester. Isabelle is sassy and Sebastian is loyal beyond loyal. (Can you guess who is who?) And their mom, Annalissa, is not only amazing with her own dogs, but she is also amazing with other people’s dogs! Annalissa is a professional dog trainer and runs the Good Dog Camp in Rochester. Ohmygosh, I love dogs and I love them!

Spring is here! And so is Harper’s 2nd birthday so we celebrated with some outdoor photos! It felt so good to be shooting outside again on such a beautiful, sunny day. As a two year old, Harper is officially a little girl. She is walking running everywhere and talking up a storm. I feel like she went from a baby to a toddler overnight and somehow, getting cuter by the day!
