You’re a mama, in the thick of motherhood. As hard as it is some days, you have also never felt this much joy.
All too soon he will no longer grab your hand to show you something you just HAVE to see. She won’t grab both sides of your face to give you a kiss anymore. And you don’t want to forget.
Those sticky fingerprints won’t be around forever.
The gift of motherhood has given me the ability to connect and relate with each of my clients in a way I have never experienced before. All the cliches are true. I understand the immense love you have for your little miracles and how fleeting these moments really are.
As a Minneapolis Portrait Photographer, it is an honor to give you images that instantly remind you of the tug of your child's hand, the way they cling to you when they're feeling a little shy and the way their eyes look up at you full of all that love. These moments are just a few in the millions that make up a lifetime and they are worth preserving.
You are in the right place and I couldn’t be more excited!
Joyful. Genuine. Natural.

Motherhood sessions are lifestyle-based and typically occur at select outdoor locations around the twin cities or in client's homes. If you’d prefer, I have a few studios in the area I can share with you for an additional rental fee. A studio is a great option if you’re concerned about the light in your home or prefer not to worry about picking up for photos.
We will spend 60 minutes together capturing this season of Motherhood during your Minneapolis portrait photography session.
