Hello! I'm Heidi, a passionate photographer with a love for capturing life's most cherished moments.
My journey into photography began at the tender age of 8 with my very first camera. I started by photographing our family dog, and over time, my passion for the craft deepened, especially after the loss of my mother during my teenage years and the joy of becoming an aunt in my early twenties. These experiences highlighted the profound fulfillment I find in documenting family connections and milestones. Today, I feel incredibly fortunate to pursue a career that continues to bring me immense joy and satisfaction.
Travel is another passion of mine, with Negril, Jamaica holding a special place in my heart. I adore the relaxed vibe, sun, sand, and ocean that this beautiful destination offers.
I also cherish my time in Minnesota, where I enjoy making memories with my kids—Madeline (16), Emma (14), Isabelle (12), Mila (10), and Vince (7)—at our family cabin. Whether we’re fishing, tubing, wakeboarding, or enjoying a marshmallow roast by the fire, these moments are truly special. In the fall, I look forward to our annual escape to Two Harbors for some refreshing hikes.
Hockey is another big part of my life. When I'm not cheering on my four hockey-playing kids, you can find me at a Minnesota Wild game, enjoying a cold beer and the thrill of the sport.
Food is another passion, and I love exploring new culinary experiences. My other half, who loves cooking as a hobby, often introduces me to new dishes. Our favorite downtime activity is spending time together in the kitchen—him cooking and me sipping wine and offering company. We also enjoy visiting the farmers market to make our own red sauce, salsa, and pickles.
Thank you for visiting my site. I look forward to capturing your special moments with the same love and dedication that have guided my own journey.
