Why do I love what I do?
In January of 2017 I found out that my father had passed away. Through my grieving process and even today, I feel such a connection to him by looking over old photos of us together. I realized how much I loved the genuine connection of the candid photos with him, and quickly overlooked the posed and unnatural photos of us. In February of 2017 (literally, 1 month later) I found out that I was pregnant with my first kiddo. Throughout my pregnancy and my journey of being a single mama, photographs of/with my little became such a priority to me because I wanted him to have those to hold onto. As my passion grew, my love for capturing these moments also grew, and I decided to start my business so I could capture these moments for others.
I love my shoebox of family memories, the honest ones. The ones of my grandpa smiling with his whole being while he shows off his prized ice cream shop. The ones of me playing in the hot tub with pink goggles and laughing with my dad. The relaxed Minnesota summer beach days and the bundled up waddling 3 year old first snow ones. These are the memories I want to capture for you, these are the memories that have me crying at my computer screen the night I get back from your session.
