About Me

I'm so happy you're here

Hey, welcome! My name is Amy and I am Minnesota born and raised - but have traveled to 9 countries and counting! I really love where I live - Duluth, MN - but I also love experiencing new cultures and FOOD (I love good food ha).


My extensive travel experience makes me a perfect partner for your destination wedding - I can help you plan for those little things you wouldn’t think of! Local weddings are also fantastic - I love every inch of this state, and want to see every corner! I also travel nationally - and would REALLY love to get to every state park one day!


I LOVE animals and have 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 snake. Currently I work full time, attend graduate school, and foster dogs in my “spare time” (haha what’s that). I am part of the LGBTQ+ crowd, so if that isn’t your jam, you’ll have to look elsewhere! But if you are part of the crew, yay!!! Let’s work together :)


I am pretty laid back and will do almost anything to get the perfect shot - but I can be assertive when needed. I am here to be more than just a photographer - I am here to be your partner, support, and friend through the exciting (but sometimes stressful) times of your major life events.


I have had a passion for photography for over a decade and am finally investing more in my skills and you. Looking to book someone that can make your vision come to life? You found ‘em!

Why Invest in a Photographer?

Memories happen in moments - photos last lifetimes!

You deserve to live your life and experience your milestones - and not have to stress or worry about capturing it yourself. Let a professional do what they have trained to do, and live in the moment. With thousands of hours behind a camera & photo editing software, we see and capture the important things that might otherwise be overlooked.


Sometimes, the picture you weren’t expecting to even get taken is the most treasured one of a memory. Photographers spend hours, days, years, honing their craft and getting better every day to more truly capture life’s special moments. By investing in a professional, you are investing in yourself - the time and anxiety you save in booking someone with experience is priceless.


So let us take some stress off your shoulders, and at the same time deliver beautiful, high quality images that will last your lifetime - and your kids lifetimes - as a treasured family heirloom.
