FAQs

It’s actually tricky for me to attach words to it because it’s just how I am, but here’s what comes to mind: real life, minimal, simple, clean, light, lasting, and of course: natural, unexpected, artfully edgy.

Yes, my studio is in NE Minneapolis. There’s a natural-light, white-walls portrait area; a spot for studio-lit portraits against white, gray, or black paper; dressing room; plus a meeting/lounging space. It’s great for consultations and a variety of sessions and styles both inside and outside.

Photographers: the studio is available to rent hourly - just send me a note.

Know that these are more guidelines than rules, and all can be successfully disregarded.

The key is just be and dress like you! That said, here are some tips:

We want to keep the focus on you or the little ones, so avoid distracting or busy colors and patterns. Go easy on white. Coordinate and compliment, certainly, but there’s no need to match. Kids can pull off bright, bold colors, but otherwise similar earthy tones are safe. Always, always wear something you’re comfortable and feel good in.

Number 1 Tip: Wear something you feel good in! This takes precedence over everything else. But if you'd like more guidance...

Avoid very bright colors (magenta, etc.). Avoid large blocks of white. A white shirt under a jacket or blazer is great.

Please lint roll!

Glasses vs, no glasses? Personal preference. LMK if you'd like a mix of both options.

Fitness watches, hair binders on wrists, etc. may show. Remove anything you don't want included.

95% of fashion/accessory/jewelry questions are personal preference (my observation and not a real statistic), so go with what you feel good in! See Number 1 Tip above. :)

I’ll let you know what to do, where to look, etc. That’s my job! I call this “light direction.” I’ll help you look amazing and natural. At the same time, I’m always happy to work with your preferences and suggestions.

Just get in touch to start! We’ll swap info and get something on the calendar! We’ll take care of a quick contract and payment when booking to reserve your spot. I can take cash, check, or card. I’ll always confirm details a few days prior. Then it’s session time!

Portrait sessions can be rescheduled due to weather or illness. A 24-hour notice is appreciated. We’ll reschedule based on availability. One non-weather-related reschedule is allowed, based on availability.

A rainy or snowy wedding, on the other hand? Here for it! Safety and your preferences prevail of course, but I’ll happily get you out (with umbrellas) to capture a moody, romantic, magical feel.
