Welcome!

Hello! So nice to see you here!

In case you can’t tell, I’m a Minneapolis-based photographer who adores documenting your families. The smaller the kids and the bigger the animals, the happier I am! Are sessions insane? Sometimes. Have I been puked on? Yup. Peed on? Yup. But do I still laugh through it all and have the best time ever? You bet.

This season of life is MESSY, and that’s what I want to capture.

Before that first tooth grows in, before the words are said correctly and while the baby is still toying with his belly button for comfort — these are the moments I want to freeze for you and for them. Remember, they will hold onto these archives and pass them down to their own children.

If everyone always strolled through parks dressed in perfectly matching clothing with a slight breeze in their hair, my job would be boring. I love documenting the reality of parenthood, and I like making families laugh while doing it.

“You know that you’ve found a gem of a photographer when they can simultaneously make your toddler smile, the dog stay, and the adults laugh.

All of the photos that she has given us

are truly a gift.”

I truly hope you enjoy the work you see here, and I hope it inspires you to book me for a session of your own. Life moves fast, and these kids (two and four legged) will be grown before you know it. I promise, you’ll never regret capturing them as they are at this very moment.

 

XOXO,

Leslie
