I'm in the very early pre-dawn of my thirties.

I think weddings are the most fun. Ever.

My aesthetic is centered around light and love.

I don't do traditional.  

If you're looking for photos of the groomsmen holding the bride sideways

or the bridesmaids falling all over the groom, 

I'm not your girl.

I'm a fan of brides, but don't like bridezillas.

I think grooms who help plan weddings are cool.  

I shoot modern, artistic images that aim to capture the soul of my clients. 

Who they are.  The beauty of their together.

I adore dreamy light. 

Sunshine.

Open fields. Nature. Tall trees, rocks, water. Earth. 

I love true emotion. I look for it, seek it out. Preserve it.

I shoot from the heart, 

and let the light lead.  

I have two daughters whose eyes hold my heart.

I am married to a skateboarder who loves Radiohead and baseball and we live in Minnesota, WI.
I love love.  And pinot noir. 

I'm addicted to fashion and Essie nailpolish.  

I harbor a secret jealousy for real brazen individualism. 
I love earthy, ethereal beauty.

The moment before a kiss is my favorite.

I tell really bad jokes, and use sarcasm a lot.
I speak fluent movie quotes and have been known to break out into song.

I can tie a perfect bow, but am all thumbs when it comes to bowties.

I don't like when people say 'ex-specially.'

I'm extremely short. No, I mean really, really, last-one-to-know-when-it-rains short.

I am addicted to chevron stripes and all things merino wool yarn.

I'd really love to meet you.
