"Your small voice has a way of spilling into rooms where you thought there would be no place for you.

Even when it is only a word or two, your small voice has a way of pushing through.

And if you happen to be a little quieter, and you sound differently from others, the words you choose resound with truth all the same."

-Morgan Harper Nichols

Cheers to a New Year!

What can I say about 2019? The words “unexpected” and “pleasantly surprised” immediately come to mind. It was a year full of big changes, personal and professional growth, and many lessons learned. I overcame fears and obstacles I never thought possible and achieved goals I have been working toward for years. Now, with the start of a new year just a few hours away, I am finding myself reflecting all of the amazing experiences 2019 gave me, and feeling beyond excited to find out what 2020 holds. To commemorate the end of this amazing year, I’ve gathered for you a recap of some of my best and personal favorite memories from 2019.

Enjoy!

Loved seeing how my returning clients and their families have grown and changed over the years!
Traveled to France to shoot an elopement in one of the most romantic cities in the world!
Launched my exciting new branding photography experience and connected with local, women-owned business like Wild Isles Swimwear, Denova Robes, Something Borrowed Minneapolis and Balanced Roots Retreats (and so much more)!
Finally made the big decision to switch from being a full-time interior designer to putting most of my energy and focus into turning my small photography business into my full-time job! While also joining an amazing company, Beautycounter, to help get clean beauty products into the hands of everyone!
And for your enjoyment, here are some images from some of my 2019 travels and finding my love again for film photography.

Here’s to a bright New Year and a fond farewell to the old. Cheers to you and yours, the things that are yet to come, and all the memories to hold!

✨ I know I could basically copy and paste a well worded caption from ChatGPT about how incorporating video content with your session is super beneficial and it allows your audience to connect with you on a more personal level. But the caption felt so heavily worded and not at all like I sound so instead, here is a video behind the scenes of @ovohomes and then an image to go along with it. Don't you feel like you got a sneak peek behind the curtain of how we captured these stunning images? How about the fact that this photoshoot not only elevated her brand but allowed her to use special content to make some announcements within her own brand? 

Many people worry that adding video to their sessions might be overwhelming or complicated, but it doesn't have to be! Start small. We can simply set up a camera to capture candid moments or use a smartphone to record snippets of the shoot like we did during Olivia's session. This way, your audience gets a sneak peek into how you work, the fun interactions, and the little quirks that make your style unique. 

So, why not give it a try? Add it to your next brand session with me and see where it takes your business!

I believe it’s important to pause and take a moment to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, even amid chaos. So here's a cute photo of me and my family. 🌿✨
