Bella Grace Magazine COVER Number TWO!!
LIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY …
When I began my creative journey a number of years ago, I had no idea where it would take me… I really didn’t want to know. I just wanted to try and enjoy it, to relish in it every day.
“All I wanted was to live a life where I could be me, and be okay with that. I had no need for material possessions, money or even close friends with me on my journey. All I wanted was my art and the chance to be the creator of my own world, my own reality. I wanted the open road and new beginnings every day. ”
Charlotte Eriksson
I have been asked, “Is it your goal to make it BIG in the photography world?” My answer, is simply NO. I only want to continue to be me and create; where ever it leads me I will be happy with that. Enjoying the journey and learning from our mistakes as well as life’s ups and downs is what it is all about!
The other day when I found out that one of my photographs made it on the cover of my all time favorite magazine once again … I died!!
This is my 2nd cover with Bella Grace Magazine. I am absolutely floored and completely honored!!

Bella Grace Magazine is the epitome of creativity
While holding this publication in your hands, it is not about reading it… it is about experiencing it. The thick and luxurious pages of fine art and literature transport me right into a place of soul quenching inspiration.
There is just something oh so very special about seeing, feeling, and smelling your own work in print! 🙂
Journey on people … enjoy the ride and do not give up, as a result, you never know what might happen 🙂
“Without struggle, success has no value”
Aaron Lauritsen
I am a photographer and dating strategist specializing in natural-light portraits that feel confident, approachable, and genuinely reflective of who you are. Whether I’m shooting a Dating Photos That Work™ session or a high-level personal branding project, my goal is to create images that are honest, not performative.
My Approach
Rooted in emotional intelligence and over 16 years of experience, my process is designed for the “unphotogenic.” I believe the best photos happen when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself and seen enough to trust the process. A strong image isn’t about vanity—it’s about clarity. It is the first impression that shapes how the world perceives you before you ever say a word.
The Personal Side
My journey includes a decade of single motherhood, entrepreneurship, and a national CBS News feature on the psychology of first impressions. But perhaps my favorite “proof of concept” is my own: I met my husband on Bumble at age 42. I’ve seen firsthand how a strategic, authentic online presence can transform your life and lead to real, aligned connection.
The Relocation (Dallas & Minneapolis)
End of April 2026, my family and I officially relocated to Dallas, Texas. While I am now locally serving the DFW Metroplex, the Twin Cities will always be a part of my story. I continue to offer my signature photography experience in Minneapolis–St. Paul through exclusive quarterly residency sessions.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family, soaking up our new Texas life (and probably hunting for the best patio in Dallas).
If you’re here because you’re ready for photos that actually feel like you, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you found your way here.
