MacKenzie + Phil's Modern Vintage Minneapolis, MN Wedding

Branded | The Ashley Method Hair Extension Salon & Skin Bar

The first step in transforming The Ashley Method's web presence from its "Bad Reputation" was with fresh, gritty photos that spoke to her enviable, and totally badass sense of style. I worked with Ashley and her team to ensure that each outfit that we photographed incorporated tough materials like leather, chains, studs, and safety pins paying close attention to the details and adding little pieces that incorporated her brand and style into her images.

A huge thank you to Voyage Phoenix magazine for my recently featured interview! Voyage Phoenix highlights some of Phoenix’s most inspiring trailblazers so I was more than excited to share my store with them

Allie + Justin's Romantic Intimate Mountain Wedding In Goodyear, Arizona

Allie married Justin at the Palm Valley Golf Club, and we decided on a first look spot with palm trees and the mountains in the background. Allie wore a flower crown and the elegant wallflower, savored the moment as she walked up behind Justin. He turned and stood there, stunned, taking in her beauty. She lowered her bouquet to let him see her dress, and he started crying before wrapping her up in a big hug.

Holly + Dan's Whimsical Dark And Moody Wedding

Holly and Dan were my first official wedding back in Minnesota for the season and even though I've shot at Majestic Oaks Golf Club before I headed there early to get re-aquatinted. With a few hours to spare before their first look, I headed down the trails and the bridge and admired the fog rolling in through the trees. As I photographed Holly's details I saw a storm rolling in from the west and wedding vendors scurrying around trying to decide whether to move the ceremony inside.

Mackenzie + Phil's Cobblestone Alleyway St. Paul, MN Engagement

Phil and Mackenzie are marrying at the Blaisdell in Minneapolis in a few short months, and I couldn't be more excited to hang out with them again soon. We had a blast at their engagement session and although I've known Mackenzie from our time together slinging coffee as barista's long ago I really enjoyed my chance to get to know Phil better and watch the two of them interact as a couple. We spent the afternoon for their engagement session roaming the adorable alleyways of their neighborhood in St. Paul that housed so much character and history, and it was the perfect start to what's shaping up to be a perfect wedding day.

Permission To Not Be Ok | My Conversation About Grief On The Inner Monologue Podcast

In the midwest where I’m from, when someone dies, we don’t send flowers and condolences; we send casseroles and small talk. We don’t like to feel uncomfortable with the discomfort of death. It’s unpalatable like those same “death” casseroles that had taken up space in my refrigerator. I assumed after my mother’s suicide that what the people around me wanted was for me to bypass the topic that sat between us all together and instead focus on bite-sized conversations that felt a bit more appetizing.
