My approach as a Minnesota-based photographer & filmmaker is rooted in authenticity and individuality.
Being seen for who we are is all that any of us want and that’s why I love this work so much.
I’m an intimate wedding and elopement photographer and filmmaker based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’m so glad you’re here!
I’ve had an interest in storytelling for as long as I can remember. As I got older, I realized that my passion being behind a camera was more than just capturing the “perfect shot”. It was about paying attention to what was happening around me and truly connecting with the people who were vulnerable enough to step in front of my lens.
And when I discovered weddings and elopements as a platform for visual and creative storytelling, everything fell into place. I could use my background in video journalism and concert photography to document once-in-a-lifetime moments and preserve cherished memories for couples in love. I could let my inquisitive side shine and get to know folks deeply, creating a comfortable space where they feel the freedom to be their authentic selves.
When I’m not at a wedding, you can find me in the photo pit at a local concert venue (peep that work here), exploring a new brewery or thrift store, doting over a senior dog, or hyper-fixating on my old lady craft obsessions (current fave is crochet, and I am terrible at it). At heart, I’m a goofy, music-obsessed, emo kid and I can’t wait to meet you!
Your wild-haired, music-obsessed, thrift store frequenter, all-the-emotions-feeler, new pal!
Hey, I’m Janet!
And dammit, you love me (iykyk)
Photography and video are forms of storytelling that are centered around authentic connection, and that’s what I aim to bring to every session as a photographer and filmmaker. When you step in front of my camera, you'll forget fake smiles and perfect poses. I want you to feel safe, seen and loved for every quirky bit of your true self and that is the foundation of our experience together.
