Family photos
Northfield Family Photographer
Minneapolis Portrait Photographer
I know firsthand what it feels like as a mom of four. Preparing every child with brushed hair, deciding outfits, and making sure that no one gets hangry right when photos start. It's a lot! But as I also know, the gift of seeing your family all together in a beautiful keepsake photo is an absolute joy. As your photographer, know that I understand how important it is the make the most of your session. After all, we blink and our little ones are driving a car!

Portrait Location Inspiration
This family session celebrated their son's third birthday. The idyllic natural lands of Northfield's Carleton College served us well, and the smiles captured were outrageously cute!
"We love our photos! Coming back soon for more!"

Imagine the perfect light to capture your rambunctious little ones - and actually loving the result! I approach family photos as a nature ramble, so your kiddos don't feel forced into smiles.
"She was great with the kids and our photos were ready quickly!"
