Your wedding day is just the beginning. It’s the first “heck yes” in a whole lifetime of moments that deserve to be remembered forever. And as your Bemidji photographer, I’m not here just for the first looks and vows, and the dance floor action. I’m here for the years after. The milestones, the chaos, the ordinary days that turn out to be extraordinary.

Because your vows lead to your first holidays as a family. First homes. First babies. First everything. And I am honored to witness and capture all of it.

Once Your Wedding Photographer, Always Your Photographer

When we work together on your wedding day, we build a connection. We laugh, cry, maybe even sneak out for golden hour portraits. But it doesn’t stop there!

The real magic happens when I see your family grow. When you message me a year later saying, “We’re expecting!!” or “Hey, we need updated family photos with our toddler,” I’m already doing a happy dance. Because this is what I live for… telling your story as it unfolds.

It means your toddler trusts me and shows off their cheesiest smile without even being asked. Your sessions feel more like catching up with a friend than posing in front of a stranger’s camera. 

Why These Moments Matter

While the wedding day is BIG, it’s also just one day. The quiet snuggles with your newborn? The belly laughs during fall family sessions? The way your partner looks at you when you’re wrangling kids and still glowing with love? That’s the stuff I’m obsessed with capturing.

Because real life—the beautiful, chaotic, goldfish-crumbed, sleepy-eyed, joy-soaked kind—that’s the legacy.

From Glam to Goldfish Crackers in Your Hair

Listen, I’ve been there. I’m a mom of three, I know how real life gets real fast. But that’s exactly why these photos matter. I want your wedding album and your family albums to sit side by side, telling the whole story. The one where you’re not just a couple saying vows under a gorgeous floral arch, but partners building a beautiful, messy, love-filled life together.

So whether you’re slipping into heels or into cozy socks and nursing pads, I’ll be there with my camera and snacks.

Let’s Make This a Forever Kinda Thing

You don’t have to start all over every time you want family photos. You already know me. I already know what makes your little one smile, how you and your partner laugh together, and where your dog’s favorite treat is hiding. BTW, your fur babies are ALWAYS welcome, as well.

Being your legacy photographer means I’m in it for the long haul. I’m here to document all the chapters—big and small. And I promise, we’ll have fun doing it!

Ready Whenever You Are

If we started with your wedding, I already know the heart of your story. And nothing brings me more joy than getting to keep telling it! Through baby bumps, sticky toddler fingers, and the kinds of days that don’t make it to Instagram, but mean the most to you.

Whether you’re planning a maternity session, want to freeze time during that sweet newborn haze, or just need updated family photos before the next growth spurt hits—I’m here.
