Family photography based in Blaine, MN.
Whether your family is playful and energetic or quiet and sentimental, my approach is centered around creating a relaxed experience where your family can simply be together. I thoughtfully guide each session with natural prompts, attention to detail, and gentle direction so you never have to worry about stiff posing or feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera. The result is a collection of images that feel genuine, connected, and true to this season of your life — from the big emotional moments to the small in-between details you never want to forget. Based in Blaine, MN and beyond, I specialize in family and children’s photography that blends timeless storytelling with a polished, intentional feel.

How does it work?
Once we choose a date and location, we’ll meet somewhere in Blaine or one of the surrounding areas for a relaxed and natural session together. I always allow time for little ones to warm up and feel comfortable, so there is never pressure for perfectly behaved smiles or rushed moments. Throughout the session, I’ll guide you into natural posing while paying close attention to the small details, fixing awkward hand placement, adjusting movement, and making sure everyone looks and feels their best without the session feeling stiff or overly posed. We’ll capture a variety of images including individual portraits of each child, sibling photos, full family images, parent combinations, and all the meaningful little moments in between. Within 14 days of your session, you’ll receive a gallery of beautifully edited images ready to be downloaded, shared, and treasured for years to come.
“My kids don’t sit well for photos…what can we do?”
Whether we’re documenting a trip to a local ice cream shop in Blaine, playing soccer in the backyard, or simply following your child through whatever they love most that day, the goal is always the same. I meet your child right where they are, allowing their personality, curiosity, and energy to lead the session so we can capture natural, beautiful moments that feel real to your family.
