This is my first photoshoot and I’m kind of nervous.
Almost everyone is! I am a very laid back person and this will not be a 'formal' or serious event. I will help with posing and any questions you have during the shoot to make your session as breezy as possible!
What should I wear?
Colors/outfits should be discussed prior to booking to ensure that your photos will come out balanced and aesthetically pleasing.
For most situations, neutral colors and plain fabrics are recommended. Clothing with logos or brands are NOT recommended.
For examples: See my “Session Tips” page.
How many pictures will I receive?
All portraits are edited and retouched.
-For Mini Sessions: 5 photos
-For Full Sessions(including portrait, boudoir, maternity, lifestyle, ect): 10-15 photos
-For Elopement: As many usable photos obtained during event. Quantity will vary.
Do you do weddings?
I primarily provide services for outdoor elopements and micro weddings! I do offer services for traditional weddings on a case by case basis. As a natural light photographer, I love utilizing outdoor venues that incorporate the beauty of nature into my clients photos. I accept wedding inquiries after a brief consultation to see if we will be a good fit!
Some additional info:
-My shooting style is candid, documentary, warm/muted tones.
-I am a 1 photographer team and will be the sole photographer at said events.
-I am a natural light photographer (I do not use full flash set ups)
-I do not currently offer videographer services.
-I like to recommend "unplugged" wedding ceremonies to my clients, meaning that during the ceremony I will help you request that your guests keep their phones away. This ensures that their eyes and memories are focused on you, while the professionals worry about capturing it all!
-Travel fees apply for weddings outside of the twin cities. Travel fee info can be found on my FAQ page.
-Standard editing turn around is typically 4-6 weeks.
Are you available outside of Minneapolis?
Booking inquiries outside of the Twin-City and surrounding area may be considered. Travel fees apply for sessions that are accepted outside of the Twin-Cities. The average rate is $1 per mile of travel.
Outdoor sessions are often available near St. Croix on beautiful wooded/farm land. email for details!
Do you do couples photography?
Yes, I do! I offer couples, engagement, elopement, and maternity. I also love doing friendship and pet sessions!

*I do not currently offer couple's boudoir.
What is an "Artistic Shoot?"
This is a photo session that is more creative than a typical portrait session. These include cosplay, holloween, and fantasy themed shoots. I am open to discussing ideas to see if we are a good fit! Let's get creative!
