I live in Stewartville, MN but service Rochester and all the surrounding areas.

Yes! My studio is in my home which is located in Stewartville, MN.

I photograph all types of sessions-but I specialize in maternity, motherhood, newborns and family-these are the sessions that truly have my heart. I do offer milestones, seniors, couple sessions and boudoir on a per case basis.

I am not booking weddings, extended families, event photography at this time.

I have a non-traditional shooting style. I consider my work a blend of posed and lifestyle photography. I gently guide my clients throughout the session to create a variety of natural emotive imagery. I'm a lover of details big and small. I gravitate towards capturing moments that make you feel something.

Outdoor sessions are scheduled 1-2 hours before the sunsets. This is when lighting is best. The sun is low, soft and luminous.

Studio sessions are scheduled between 9AM-1PM when lighting is best in the studio.

I suggest locations based on your completed questionnaire and the vibe you’re trying to achieve. Are you interested in studio, grassy field, lake view, city or woods? Perhaps somewhere different like a apple orchard, greenhouse or tree farm. Once that’s decided I have several spots to recommend in the area.

Yes. All my sessions include edited/retouched images + print release via digital download. You’re encouraged to order professional prints directly from your online gallery for quality purposes. I do offer a complimentary print credit with all of my collections which you use right from your gallery.
