My Life – I am one of eight children, seven us being girls. I know, I know my poor brother. I grew up in Maplewood, MN right on the State Trail. I went to North Central University in Minneapolis where I met some of the best people that I still get to call friends. 8 years ago, I met the love of my life while shooting a wedding, classic meet-cute of a photographer falling in love with groomsman. We have been married for five years and we have been living happily ever after with our daughter and pets in Coon Rapids, MN.

My Love –I love my Husband and Daughter and all of the adventures we have together. I love my getting together with my big crazy family and all of the fun we have during holidays. I am obsessed with cheese in any form, and there is nothing in this world that can compare to a perfect grilled cheese sandwich. I absolutely cannot resist a good pun. I love my pets with all my heart, we have two cats, Pete Zah and Sam Witches (see love of puns), and an American Eskimo, Ice Bear.

My Story – I received my first camera for my 15th birthday. A small point and shoot Canon Digital Elf, and from that moment on, I was lost. Lost to the art of photography. To the moments I could capture, the memories I could share and stories I could tell. I have loved photography for the past 15 years and I will continue to love it until my dying day. Photography has let me tell some incredible stories. Stories of love, stories of joy, stories of hope, and stories inspiration. I have loved the stories I have been able to tell and I cannot wait to tell yours.
