What I photograph

Local work, photographed properly.

Business & team photography

Your people, your space and the work itself. Honest photos for the website, LinkedIn and the next brochure.

Grand openings & business events

Ribbon cuttings, open houses, launches and customer days. The scissors, the speeches and the whole team out front.

Nonprofit galas & fundraisers

The room, the auction and the moments donors will share the next morning. Quietly, without getting in the way.

Community & city events

Festivals, parish and civic events: the things that make a town feel like one.

How it works

Easy to book. Easy to have around.

01

A quick call

What's happening, when, and which moments matter most. Ten minutes usually covers it.

02

I show up and blend in

One photographer, no flash in anyone's face, working around you so you can get on with your day.

03

Edited photos, fast

A curated, colour-corrected gallery you can download and share, sized for the web and for print.

Need video too? Book photos and a film together: one booking, one person to brief, and a matching set of stills and footage.

Fair questions

Before you book.

What do you photograph?

Businesses and their teams at work, grand openings and business events, nonprofit galas and fundraisers, and community events across Minnesota.

Do you photograph weddings?

No. Photography here means business, nonprofit and community work.

Can you shoot photos and video at the same time?

Yes, and it's often the efficient choice: one booking, one person to brief, and stills and a film that match. Just say so when you get in touch.

How do I get the photos?

As an online gallery of edited, full-resolution images you can download, share and use on your website and social channels.

Where are you based?

St. Michael, Minnesota. I cover the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota.
