In this episode we explore what it really takes to build a small business from the ground up. A lot of “entrepreneurship gurus” will sell you the dream of leisurly working 4-5 hours a day and growing a 7 figure business, but in my experience it takes a lot more hustle to find success.

Welcome! If you’re here, you’ve heard about my new podcast, From Finance to Photography!
Before I ever pursued photography professionally, my education and background is in, you guessed it, Finance. I have a bachelors in Finance and Marketing and after college went on to pursue a career in Wealth Management where I spent 7 years climbing the corporate ladder.

To say this was my dream editorial would be an understatement! When we were dreaming up this wedding day, we kept going back to gorgeous pastel blooms, dresses with a lot of movement and overall intention in the design.

A gorgeous night near Tampa, Florida for a family heirloom beach session! I love spending time in Florida in the winter where I can serve families in the south and get my ocean (or, “Gulf,” as my husband would correct me) fix in!

Lisa and Kevin’s wedding day last September was nothing short of stunning! Lisa is an extremly organized bride and came prepared with every detail in place for the perfect day!
Starting with the all white getting ready suite and to the adorable chaple at St. Joseph of the Lakes, it made for the most romantic wedding day.

Welcome to the world Baby Eloise! When Allie reached out to me about newborn photos because she was expecting I couldn’t be more excited! They were having their second baby and wanted a way to capture this time in a joyful and peaceful manner to be able to look back on forever!

Hannah and Howie are engaged! These two are planning a spectacular wedding at Hope Glen Farm in September 2024 but first we had to celebrate their engagement!

Terra & Eliot’s gorgeous wedding at Minneapolis Country Club couldn’t have been more perfect! The morning started at Hotel Ivy where they each got ready with their respective wedding parties in the presendential suites. We then headed over to Central Lutheran for the first look, wedding party and family formal photos, and the ceremony. This church is spectacular, and such a sacred place to get married.

I was recently in Arizona for a wedding and got the opportunity to work with Brittany and her sweet family for an heirloom collection in the desert with their precious little boy, Beau!

Faith and Bryan are celebrating their nuptuals in New York next year but wanted to capture their engagement where they call home! Although they are both originally from the East Coast, they live and work in the twin cities so they wanted an urban engagement session that truly depicted the beauty that Minnesota has to offer!

Welcome to the From Finance to Photography Podcast! A podcast detailing the pursuit of entrepreneurship, managing personal finances, all while trying to be a present mom and making authentic memories with our families!

Emily and Brandon are getting married in June, so of course we had to kick off their engagement season with a session in the cities! These two met serendipitiously, both on separate work trips in Africa when the world shut down due to the pandemic. They ended up returing, and quarantining in the same apartment, the historic Soo Line building, and the rest is history!
