If you’re juggling a hundred things and don’t want this to be one of them
Planning your Session to Printing your Artwork
These sessions are designed to feel simple, supported, and easy to enjoy, with wardrobe, optional hair and makeup, and guidance throughout, so you can hold onto your pregnancy, newborn days, baby’s milestones, and family as they are right now.
A full-service experience for the seasons that matter most.
Wardrobe Made Easy
You’ll have complimentary access to the studio wardrobe for your session, making it easier to create a look that feels polished, coordinated, and beautiful on camera. With options for mothers, babies, and young children, it is a simple way to take one more thing off your plate and help your images feel even more cohesive.
A simpler way to feel prepared and look beautifully put together.
Welcome to My Light-Filled Studio in Northeast Minneapolis
Located in the Arts District, my studio is a bright, relaxed space designed to make your session feel easy from the moment you walk in. It’s where the wardrobe hangs, the light shows off, and everyone gets a chance to settle in.
The fridge is stocked, the snack drawers are ready, and the space is set up for real families. Newborns snooze here, kids twirl here, and parents get to take a breath.
This is where real life meets beautiful light. Where the energy, movement, and personality of your family become images that feel honest, connected, and far more beautiful than the moment may have felt. That part still gets parents every time.
Come in, get comfortable, and let me take it from there.

Two Ways to Work Together
A full-service experience
A shorter studio experience
*The commission fee does not include digital files, artwork, or collections, which are purchased separately after your session.
When should I book my session?
I recommend booking early, as most clients reserve at least 6 weeks in advance. Maternity sessions are typically photographed between 28 and 34 weeks, and newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy.
What should we wear?
You’ll receive wardrobe guidance and complimentary access to the studio wardrobe, so everything feels simple and beautifully pulled together.
Do you offer hair and makeup?
While I do not offer hair and makeup in-house, I’m happy to share trusted artist recommendations and help point you in the right direction if you’d like to add that to your session experience.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are offered in my Northeast Minneapolis studio, in your home, or outdoors in the Twin Cities.
What if my kids do not cooperate?
That’s completely okay. I take a child-led approach, so there is room for movement, personality, and the moments that unfold naturally.
When will we see our images?
Once your gallery is ready, your images will be delivered in a private online gallery where you can view them and choose the collection that feels right for your family.
What products do you offer?
I offer digital collections as well as printed artwork, including albums and wall art. Matching digital images are included with any artwork purchase.
What is a commission fee?
The commission fee reserves your date and reflects the experience of commissioning an artist to create something personal and lasting for your family. Collections and artwork are selected separately.
How do I book?
Simply reach out through the contact form, and I’ll walk you through the next steps. From there, we’ll choose your session date and begin planning the details together.
