hello!

I may not spend much time in Minnesota anymore, but I am a Minnesotan at heart. I will often apologize if you bump into me, I say ‘uff da’ in all seriousness and I thought everyone called casseroles ‘hotdish’ until recently. 

If you want to know me in a nutshell, I’d say that 

i am a creative who is deeply sentimental, obsessed with her family and

cats and uses grey, yellow and loud patterns in everything she does.

Since my life took an unexpected turn back in 2011, I have been a rather busy bee. I quit my full time job in 2013 to spend close to a year living, working and traveling around New Zealand. When I came back to the states I realized I wasn’t quite ready to sit still, so I went to Europe for 3 months. There I photographed dairy cows in Portugal, cooked and tended chickens for a family in France and slept next to a waterfall in Iceland with nearly 24 hours of daylight. Since then, I’ve spent another 3 months in Europe visiting new places and old friends, lived my life to what I deem to be the fullest, consumed more of the best pizza in Minneapolis than I should admit to and moved myself, my full collection of baking pans, wildflower books and my cats out to Montana for a new life and new adventures. 

How does all of this translate to my business? 

i smile a lot, i use a lot of !!! when i write, i crave golden light and if you

bring your cat to our shoot, i might forget you are there.
