Meet the Artist

Hello, mama! I’m a motherhood + marriage photographer based in the Brainerd Lakes Area, which means I have the privilege of documenting the moments that matter most—your family’s love, connection, and the little details you never want to forget.

As a mom of three amazing daughters (each with hearts full of love and opinions to match!) and expecting another little one this October, I know how quickly these seasons slip by. The beauty and the chaos of raising little ones changes so fast, and preserving it has become deeply personal to me.

The Brainerd Lakes Ares is home for me—my roots run deep here. I grew up on a quiet little lake in Pequot Lakes, and I’m so grateful to now raise my own children in this same beautiful corner of Minnesota. There’s something special about life here: the closeness of nature, the strength of community, and the slower, more intentional way of living.

These days, I split my time between raising my kids and creating timeless, heartfelt portraits for other families walking through these same fleeting seasons. I’ll take care of every detail—your only job is to show up and love on your people.

Good memories are true treasures to me. As life continues to pick up the pace while my little ones grow, there are more and more precious little details that I worry I won't remember when they’ve grown—like the unique swirl of my first daughter's hair above her eyebrow, or the “stork bite” my second daughter had on her forehead. I’ve always admired the way photography can hold onto even the smallest things, exactly as they were in that moment.

And there’s never a time in life quite like this season—where a simple image can hold so much: full of change, full of love, full of memories. Since having children of my own, my heart has been drawn to capturing the beauty, chaos, and connection of motherhood and family. I know what it’s like to want to remember everything.

When I graduated from college, my parents asked me what I wanted as a gift, and I chose a DSLR camera. Little did I know it would open a whole new chapter of creativity and connection. My journey began with weddings, seniors, and more, but it wasn’t until becoming a mother that I discovered my true calling—creating timeless, heirloom art that preserves the details we never want to forget.

WHy Motherhood Photography

As a motherhood photographer, my mission is simple yet profound: to create timeless, heirloom artwork that beautifully tells your family’s story—artwork that doesn’t just sit in a drawer but lives on your walls and in your hands, becoming part of your family’s daily life and legacy.

I believe in an experience that pampers you, the busy and devoted mom, by handling every detail so you can fully enjoy your session. I strive to create a space where you can feel seen, celebrated, and connected—where your story is told through images that evoke feeling, preserve moments, and become enduring works of art.

Every photograph I deliver is created with the intention of becoming a tangible reminder of your family’s love—a piece of enduring art you’ll treasure for generations.
