Photographer in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and beyond—capturing your love wherever you are
It's Jess! Your new photographer bestie.
I am a photographer in Minneapolis and St. Paul with a focus on weddings, seniors, and couples. My passion for photography started when I began collecting vintage cameras as a teenager because I thought they “looked artsy and cool”. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with capturing authentic moments of love, beauty, and joy. My specialties include: spontaneous dance parties, fixing your veil, being your #1 hype girl, and keeping you stress free during the most important day of your life.
What am I like in my day to day life?
I am glad you asked!
I'm just a goofy, independent, witty, coffee-addicted gal who loves Jesus, traveling, and being around people. I've been a practicing Catholic since I was 15 and find joy in serving others. In my free time you will find me reading, planning my next adventure, or spending time with my hubby and our pup, Fajita. I am always dancing and singing (even if I am bad), I've never met a cheese I didn't like, and something people never expect about me is that I speak Spanish!
What am I like as a Photographer?
I would describe my photography style as a mix of documentary and guided posing with a true to life, earthy, and somewhat whimsical editing style (like a fairytale). I want to capture the natural little moments that show true love and joy, when you aren’t focused on the camera, but of course we can allocate time for some formal portraits as well.
Personality was a BIG factor for me when I was choosing my own wedding photographer because I knew I was going to feel extremely uncomfortable in front of the camera. I still do feel awkward when having my own photos taken and it’s immensely helpful to have someone who can help me relax and not focus on the camera. That person is who I strive to be for my clients to make taking photos a fun, carefree experience.
To give you some insight into me, I am super energetic and talkative. I have never met a stranger as my mom would tell me because I can strike up conversations with anyone. I want to be your friend, and I am genuinely interested in your life and getting to know more about you. If you book me, expect LOTS of chit-chat, laughs, goofiness, and DEFINITELY expect me to be dancing (and probably singing) along with you as I take your reception party photos.
