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!

Update…

It’s finally the week that I thought would never get here.  Moving week.  By Thursday of this week both my studio and our house will be packed up and all our material possessions will be on their way to Maine.  I won’t lie, it’s been a busy, chaotic and stressful last couple weeks dealing with the logistics of moving as well as trying to keep up with wedding/busy season.  And as much as I don’t want to leave family, friends, my clients, studio space, and comfortable life behind, it’s time to go.  I’m excited to be in the same town with my husband again after living apart for nearly 9 months!  I’m excited to move into and decorate a different house.  I’m excited to explore a new town and meet new people.  I’m excited to experience a new part of the county and be pushed out of my comfort zone.  I am excited about a lot of things.  But this week I’m sad.  And that’s OK.

I have lots of weddings and portraits to share here soon and I’ll be posting updates about life in Maine too!  I appreciate your extra patience during these upcoming weeks through this transition as I may be a little slower to respond than normal.  And yes, I will still be taking weddings and portrait clients in MN so if you are interested in scheduling a shoot, watch for dates when I’ll be back!

Taken at Acadia National Park this summer on a trip to visit Justin.  Many more adventures like this to come!

Martin + Nana

Martin + Nana were married on a gorgeous August day in Minneapolis.  Not only was it a special day for the two of them but their families as well.  They had guests from all over the world!  It was fantastic to witness not only the love they have for each other but the love surrounding them from their family and friends.  The details of the day were meticulously planned.  Munster Rose did an amazing job on the florals and the Semple Mansion was the perfect venue.

Martin, (my fellow Cobber) it was so fun to meet your beautiful bride, Nana! And Nana, I’m so happy you and Martin found one another! We had so much fun photographing your big day! Congratulations to you both!

A special thanks to Jessica Smith for second shooting with me!  And a shout out to Northern Lights Video who provided the video coverage and did this amazing same day edit video for them.

Photographing wedding couples turned families is the best.  And it never hurts when they are absolutely adorable!

Kim + Julie

Kim + Julie were married at the Decordova Museum near Boston, MA.  Happiness and love was overflowing among family, friends, the couple, and within all the details that made the day specifically “them”.  It was probably the most sincere and personal ceremony I have ever attended as they incorporated both of their traditions, Jewish and Lutheran, into the service.  Kim, you have been a dear, dear friend since our days at Concordia in Minnesoooota.  I have never seen you happier and can’t congratulate you and Julie enough.  Celebrating with you two was a joy and an honor.  Cheers to many more days as happy as your wedding day!  xoxox.

Neal + Jessica

You may remember these two from their engagement session last summer.  It’s easy to mistake them for J.Crew models, I know.  Which is one reason why I was excited to shoot their wedding.  But even more than that, they are extra special friends.  Neal and Justin have been best buds since they were little kids and even though miles and time separate them, their friendship stays the same.  Everyone needs a friend like that.  So while I always love weddings, I really loved this wedding.  Our hearts were bursting with happiness for you two every time we turned around: there was love in all the little details, the hugs, the tears, the laughter, the looks shared between people.  CONGRATULATIONS, Neal and Jessica!  We are beyond happy for you and wish you many, many days as happy as your wedding day.  xoxox.

Ryk Thomas

It’s so strange how a normal day can go from being normal to amazing in a matter of moments.  Tuesday, June 26 was one of those normal turned amazing days.  Ryk Thomas was born on this day and I had the awesome opportunity to be there with my camera.  I know babies are born every day but I don’t think it ever gets less incredible.  Ever.  What an absolute privilege to be there for your birth, Ryk and for the birth of your brother over two years ago.  Know you are loved, loved, loved.  And a great, big thank you to your beautiful parents for trusting me to be there and document some of the most raw, intimate and powerful moments of your lives.  xoxox.
