About Your Photographer

Born and raised in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, I was first introduced to photography in High School. We were very fortunate to have a dark room where I experienced the excitement of developing my own film. I spent the second half of High School in Wisconsin and in 2008, shortly after graduating, I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy. A few years later, all 4'10'' of me joined the US Navy as an Aircraft Engine Mechanic. After boot camp, I completed the first portion of my training in Pensacola, Florida. The rest of my enlistment was spent in Norfolk, Virginia and it was there that I met my husband, Jake, who was a Submarine Diesel Mechanic. Had we not been standing in line next to each other that day - we probably never would have met! Jake proposed a year later and in 2017, our families of two became a family of four.
 
After both being honorably discharged, we decided we wanted to settle here in the Upstate, where Jake grew up. Before we made the big move, we helped a couple overseas have a baby! I was a Gestational Carrier (a surrogate) to a beautiful little girl who was born in 2018 and we still keep in touch with her family today. We are now blessed to be proud parents of three children and purchased our home in January of 2020. I absolutely love living in the Upstate and look forward to serving my community as a trusted Commercial Head Shot and Branding Photographer!
