Twin Cities Photographer for Weddings, Seniors & Growing Families

Because whatever moment you're in,

you know it's going to fly by

and you want to remember how you feel

and who you are.

And you know you're busy - with work, school, relationships, etc.

so you want a complete process

that feels seamless.

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Let's pause a sec...
Let me ask: why are you even looking for photos?

No one walks away from a milestone experience with me without their memories in their hands. Why? Well, let me ask how often you go through the photos on your phone? What is that experience like? How about your family's physical photo albums? How is that experience different?

Long story short, your memories deserve to be experienced over and over again. To be held and loved and enjoyed!

We are going to talk about your wedding or session and find out what is most important to you and then create your photos around that! Yes, you can totally use Pinterest for inspo, but you will not have to rely on it — you have me! I'll help you with planning, time considerations, outfit options and so much more so you show up prepared and feeling your absolute best!

Jessica is the best. Hands down. Hire her immediately and never look back. She is a master of her craft.

She was fun but professional, everyone loved her, and the photos are beyond anything I could have hoped for.

We were not the easiest customers. First, our venue was a museum, not a wedding venue, so she had to be creative and work around a space not designed for weddings. Jessica was unperturbed. She considered everything: where the sun would hit, what time to be where, and how to account for different types of weather. At the end of the day, the photos look like they were not taken in a museum, but belong in a museum. Second, my husband does not like being in photos or having any attention on him whatsoever. When told to smile for the camera, he usually makes a face like he just smelled bad eggs. I do not know what kind of wizard Jessica is, but she is definitely magic. She put him at ease and...

I'm going to level with you: I'm a photographer second. It is actually my core personality and calling to be original, to challenge the status quo, to help others, and to be true to me.

And that is what I ask all of my amazing couples, seniors, and parents to do too! The perfect image is one that represents you, right now. And while the images we'll create together have meaning and value now, they will become more valuable over time, as they show you how much you've grown, what and who you love, and give you a sense of pride and togetherness.
