Fine Art Albums

I’m a huge proponent of printing your work. Whether you’re a client of mine or a photographer yourself, there truly is no substitute to a printed photograph. Prints come in all different shapes, sizes and experiences and there’s a place for them all.

In our home, we have wooden boxes full of smaller prints, framed gallery style prints on our walls and books or albums sitting on coffee tables or on bookshelves.

Recently, I photographed a wedding on the north shore, near Lutsen, MN. Lake Superiors’ beauty was on full display as the privately owned cabin sat overlooking its’ shores as waves pounded the dark, but colorful rock. I knew within 5 minutes of arrival I was in for a special weekend. Sometimes, everything just falls into place and you are gifted with great clients, great weather and light, great vendors, great guests and a beautiful event. I chose to design and print this album for myself, as a tangible reminder of a wedding I wanted to remember and look back on often. Now, it proudly sits in my studio, ready for guests or myself to enjoy. It will outlive me. My kids will have something physical to remind them of the creative, beautiful work I did while they were young and why dad was sometimes away on the weekends. Below are a handful of spreads from this massive 12x12 inch, distressed leather album. Now, go ahead and print something and bring more joy to your life! If I can help in any way, just reach out.

Much thanks to Nina & Jackson for inviting me into their wedding plans. These photographs and this album would not exist without you partnering and creating with me and for that I am so grateful. You both are an inspiration. Thank you.

Emily & Grant's Minneapolis Couple's Session

It’s really funny how lives intersect. There was probably no way my life would’ve intersected with Emily and Grant’s without so many other things happening years ago. When we decided to remodel our new home (which is a story for another day) we hired a couple designers to help (which is a story for another day). A few years after getting this design help, I photographed a space (Yoga Sol) for Kristin, one of the designers who helped at our home and helped design Yoga Sol. We needed a model for a few of those photos and turns out, Emily was that model. Shortly after our shoot for Yoga Sol, she reached out and mentioned she was engaged and looking for a photographer. One thing led to another and now I have the privilege of being their photographer. Connections really are key to most work I get. I don’t advertise. I put all of myself into my photography and I hope people see and feel this and then tell others. I’m so thankful for the relationships and time that went into bringing Emily and Grant across my path and I hope you see your part in all this as well. I cannot. I repeat, CANNOT do this without you. Your voice. Your response to the photographs I leave behind. It’s a humbling and joy-filled partnership. Thank You.

OK, here are a bunch of my favs from our time wandering around a park in Minneapolis. We were on the hunt for a budding fruit tree towards the end of the evening, but alas…it didn’t work out. BUT, there are a handful of photos from some random hill, with the last few frames on a roll of film, that I absolutely love and feel really shows their hearts towards one another that night. It always works out in the end.
