I can preserve the beauty of your birth story. I’ve photographed over 100 birth stories in Minneapolis and St. Paul and I would love to document yours. Whether you’re birthing at home, a birth center, or a hospital in Minnesota, I am committed to honoring your sacred birth space.

There’s nothing I love more than capturing the once-in-a-lifetime moments that take place during labor, delivery, and that sweet golden hour.
