Experienced Photographer in Bismarck ND
Full Service studio located in Hazen ND
It goes without saying that I love being creative through photography, right? So what else? I'm a wife and mom to three very different kids and I'm so proud that they have each found their own unique paths. I'm a mom to three dogs, too - also each very different. I'm an early riser, eager traveler, and have a purse collection that is much too big! The trunk of my car is packed with gear and the cup holders probably have a Diet Coke and Trolli Gummi Worms. I love musicals (thanks to my girls) and I am a proud supporter of all those who serve. My father, husband and son (currently) have all served our country. When not behind the camera or in front of the computer, I am most likely curled up with a book - if your have a recommendation for my next great read, shoot it my way!

My Philosophy
I like to have an interactive approach to sessions. Most people aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, and I totally get that. Honestly, I feel that way, too. Ironic, right? Through the years as a North Dakota portrait and wedding photographer, I have learned a lot of tips and techniques in posing, lighting and lens choice that will make you look your very best. But while I'm "directing", we're also talking and laughing and it's in those moments that we capture photos that are natural and flattering!
My style leans towards the colorful, bright and true. I love color, love light, and love to create portraits that are reflective of what the day, experiences and moments really were. I believe that the combo of these elements are what bring back the cherished memories in their most authentic forms. While I don't really follow trends (dark and moody, or light and airy), I would put myself in the contemporary category of photography.
While the studio itself is located in Hazen, ND I love traveling across the state (and beyond)! If you're looking for a photographer in Bismarck ND, or where ever your adventures take you across North Dakota, I'de love to hear from you!
