About Me

I was born and raised in Minnesota and made the move to South Dakota in late 2007 where I planted roots and started a family. I now call the little town of Ipswich, SD my home. I have two little boys who keep me super busy but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have always had a passion for photography and design from a young age. I have always had a creative bug and have enjoyed getting to pursue that in life. I graduated from college with a degree in Graphic Design. As part of the curriculum in college, I also had to take some photography classes. That is where my spark for photography grew. It wasn't until years later that I bought a used camera and started learning more. Two used cameras, a lot of hands on experience and a few years later, I took the plunge and invested in a brand new camera and lenses and starting booking clients. I started doing photography not for the money but for the client experience. I have met people whom I would have never met otherwise, visited places, been invited in to peoples homes and lives and have shared special memories that I wouldn't have ever had the chance to do unless I stepped behind the camera like I did. In 2020, I decided to take my journey a step further and open a studio right here in Ipswich, SD. I am excited to see the adventures that come from that. I am so passionate about capturing your memories for you!
