"fun and easy going"
"Kelly is an exceptional photographer and wonderful human. She makes the usually ‘awkward’ picture times fun and easy going. She stopped at multiple locations on my wedding day to make sure we got pictures of the groomsmen getting ready as well as me and my girls.
Kelly made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and had prompting ready when we were unsure what to do and made sure to get all the perfect detail shots. She studied the entire day, making sure we got our golden hour picture at the perfect time and we got it!
Kelly made the day so easy and I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything- she was getting every shot. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our day so perfectly."

"Every photo feels like us"
"Kelly is truly the best wedding photographer! From the very beginning of our wedding planning process, she was incredibly organized and thoughtful. Everything from timelines to shot lists was handled with care. She captured our day (and the whole vibe of it) perfectly. Every photo feels like us, and we’ll treasure them forever. She also has an amazing eye for detail!
Beyond her incredible work, she’s just an awesome human. Every single person in our wedding party adored her. People were genuinely sad when she left because she felt like part of the friend group. She’s fun and easygoing, but can also wrangle a rowdy group when needed (and ours definitely needed it 😂).
I can’t recommend Kelly enough..she’s your girl!! 💛"

"organized, flexible, & present"
"Kelly is AMAZING! She was organized, flexible, and present throughout our entire wedding day and in the lead up to it.
She is such an organized wedding photographer. She got us sample day-of timelines and was very responsive to our planning questions. She kept things moving and on track all day and had such a fun and relaxed attitude that kept stress low!
She did a great job with large family pictures and was great with getting kids to join in as well. Our pictures turned out incredible and she got them back to us so quickly - she captured our day perfectly!"

Engaged, married, or celebrating your love just because, I am here to take photos that feel like ✨you✨. I'll be there the whole time, directing you in my signature way, through prompting instead of still poses. that doesn't feel stiff or posed. Your session will feel comfortable, fun, and true to who you guys are as a couple.
I may be a Minneapolis wedding photographer, but I photograph all throughout Minnesota (or travel wherever your wedding takes me, yes, even the mountains out west 😉). My wedding photography approach specializes in making sure my couples are comfortable through an elevated and easy going experience, while delivering timeless photos that are full of color.
Following the stages of life is my favorite. From the newborn that just wants momma's touch, to the barefoot toddler with grass-stained jeans, the "just finished 6th grade" excitement, the senior photos, all the way to grandma and grandpa with all the generations photos. You deserve to have photos of your entire family that you'll be able to look back on and treasure for a lifetime.
