life as it is.

The view as I drove up over the hill to see lake superior for the first time was overwhelming. I felt a lump in my throat and a rush of emotion. My first glance at one of the great lakes. I pulled over, opened my car door and felt the chill from outside. Breathing in […]

During the next few weeks, I will be posting weddings & lifestyle/portrait sessions I have photographed throughout the past few years. I was hesitant to post everything until I had my website fully loaded and blog up and running smoothly. But alas, here we are. Take a peek at this sweet wedding I photographed while […]

Coffee dates in the morning are one of the best way to start your morning. What I love most about having a photojournalistic style is that I can capture the moments as they happen. I strive to create both photos for your album and your wall.  This is their home. This is their life. And […]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow readers! Today, I want to share with you this charming barn I found near Lindstrom, Minnesota. It wasn’t too far from Linda Christanson’s studio, which we stopped at for one of the MNNICE meetings. It has been 2 years since I first discovered the beautiful fall colors of Minnesota… and […]

The yellows are really that yellow, y’all. Our class drove out to visit the studio and home of Linda Christanson. […]

Happy Tuesday to my fellow readers! I am so excited to finally share with you some of the experiences I had while at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It started in 2015, when I was accepted into the Christian Arts Festival in Eagen, MN. I knew I was going to be moving, but […]

Im just now getting around to posting all my shenanigans in Minnesota, but heres the first of many posts about how much I love the this state. Around this time last year when I lived in Minnesota, a friend of mine from Texas came into town on a whim. We drove down to see the ‘Nerstrand […]
