Your Adventure, Your Story, Captured Naturally.
Time moves fast, but photos let us hold on to the moments that matter most. Whether it’s a sunlit hike, skipping rocks at the lake, or a backyard game that turns into a family tradition, I’m here to help you savor it all. These aren’t just pictures. They’re memories you’ll relive every time you pass them on the wall or share them with loved ones. Let’s turn your adventure into something timeless and worth treasuring.

How do you capture kids who won’t sit still for photos?
I love working with kids who are on the move! My approach is to embrace their energy and let them have fun in the moment. Instead of stiff poses, I focus on capturing the laughter, playfulness, and the real connections that make your family special. Whether it’s running through the woods or skipping rocks, I’ll help create photos that feel as lively as your kids are.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever you’d normally wear for the adventure you’re planning! If you’re hiking, biking, or hanging out by the lake, your go-to outdoor gear is perfect. The key is to feel comfortable and like yourself, because that’s when the best photos happen. Layers are always a good idea and maybe skip the big logos so the focus stays on you and your family.
What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
Weather is just part of the adventure! A little wind, rain, or snow can add so much character to your photos, and I’m all about embracing the elements to capture something unique. If the weather gets truly unsafe or unworkable, we can chat about rescheduling—but most of the time, we roll with it and let the day tell its story.
Can you handle large family groups?
Absolutely! Big family gatherings are some of my favorite sessions, especially when multiple generations are all together. Capturing the chaos of yard games, grandkids running circles around grandparents, and everyone laughing over shared meals, those moments are pure gold. I’ll make sure everyone feels comfortable and included, whether we’re wrangling the whole crew for a big group shot or catching candid moments around the campfire.
Do you take posed family portraits or just candid photos?
I focus on capturing the natural interactions that happen during your time together, but I’m happy to grab a few posed group shots if you’d like. The goal is to reflect the genuine joy and connection of your family without feeling stiff or forced.
What are the best activities for a photoshoot
Think about what makes your family light up—whether it’s hiking to a breathtaking overlook, skipping stones at the beach, or racing each other down a trail. Adventure adds so much life to your photos! But if your vibe is more about relaxing at the cabin, I’m here for that too. Capturing games in the yard, sharing a meal on the deck, or even quiet moments by the lake can tell just as meaningful a story. Whatever feels like “you,” I’ll work with it to bring those moments to life.
Do you travel to a specific location or do we come to you?
I’m happy to meet you wherever your adventure is happening! Whether it’s your favorite hiking trail, a hidden gem by the lake, or your family’s cabin, I’ll travel to the location that feels most meaningful to you. Duluth and the surrounding areas have so many amazing spots to explore, I’m here to make it easy for you!
What happens after the photo shoot? How do we get our photos?
After out session, I’ll carefully edit the best images to bring out all the natural details and moments from our time together. Within 3-4 weeks, you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can download high-resolution photos, share them with family, and even order prints if you’d like. I’ll make sure the entire process is seamless!
Will my kids actually enjoy the photo shoot?
Yes! My sessions are all about fun and letting kids be themselves. Whether they’re climbing rocks, splashing in the water, or just goofing around, I make sure it feels more like playtime than picture day. No stiff poses, no awkward smiles, just real moments that capture their personalities. By the end, it’ll feel more like an adventure than a photo shoot (and you’ll have the pictures to prove it).
