Most people land here because their dating profile isn’t getting the response they expect — even though it looks “fine” on the surface.

In the hustle and bustle of our lives, finding the time for a family photoshoot can feel like a daunting task. Coordinating outfits, getting everyone ready, and ensuring the kids sit still for an extended period – it’s a challenge we’re all too familiar with. As parents and pet owners, we understand the joy and chaos our loved ones bring. The idea of keeping everyone in one place for an extended session can be overwhelming. The struggle is real, and I get it. Enter the solution: Front Porch Mini Sessions.

Traditional family photoshoots often feel like a marathon. From coordinating schedules to ensuring everyone is picture-perfect, it’s a challenge. For parents, getting kids to sit still and smile becomes a mission in itself. The result? Stressful moments, forced smiles, and an experience that can quickly turn from exciting to exasperating.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against the full family session experience 😉 In fact I offer them and they are one of my favorite things to do! These mini sessions are different from a full lifestyle family session in the way of time, how many photos you get, and during mini sessions not all shots are guaranteed. Full sessions also get a free 10×8 photo album made with images. If you are interested in a full lifestyle family session experience, CLICK HERE.
I get it. You desire family photos that capture genuine smiles, playful interactions, and the unique spirit of your family. However, the stress of traditional photoshoots can often overshadow the beauty of these moments. The struggle of orchestrating a flawless photoshoot often overshadows the joy of the moments themselves.
Introducing Front Porch Mini Sessions in the Twin Cities– a unique solution crafted to address the challenges of traditional photoshoots. Picture this: quick and casual 15-minute sessions, 5 outdoor digital family portraits, all from the comfort of your front porch or yard. Yes, pets are welcome too!

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.
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.
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.
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.
