Hey! I'm Brenna
Your MN Photog friend
Photography has always been a part of my story. My grandpa and mom were the memory-keepers of our family — always behind the camera, capturing the little moments as my sister and I grew up. Their love for preserving memories found its way to me early on. I didn’t know the technical stuff at first, but I knew how it felt — how special it was to freeze a moment in time with the people I loved.
It wasn’t until college, after a season of feeling a little lost, that I picked up my camera again — this time with purpose. With the encouragement of my (now) husband, everything just clicked. I realized photography isn’t just about taking pretty pictures — it’s about documenting stories, preserving emotions, and creating something you can hold onto forever.
Today, that's what I'm here to do for you. I’m here to tell your story honestly and beautifully. With my deep love for the outdoors and my small-town Minnesota roots, you’ll have more than just a photographer. You’ll have someone who’s in your corner — helping you feel at ease, guiding you through the process, and capturing the moments that matter most to you.

A glance, a laugh, the way the sunlight hits the trees while you're walking hand in hand… these little pieces of time matter. And once they pass, we only get to keep them through memory — or a photo that helps us relive it all.
As a nurse, and as I've grown up, I’ve seen how quickly life can change — and that’s why I’m passionate about capturing the moments that matter. The genuine, heartfelt, and unforgettable moments.
Rooted in nature and connection, I’m drawn to celebrations that feel intentional and true to each person. I’ll be your calm, trusted presence behind the camera — here to document your story in a way that feels effortless.
I believe photos do more than document how something looked — they hold the feeling of a moment.

my values
It’s about connection. Trust. And creating space for you to feel fully present.
I’m here to do more than just show up with a camera — I want to create an experience that feels true to you. The kind where you’re not worried about timelines or perfection, but fully soaking in the magic of the moment. The kind where your memories aren’t just captured, but truly felt.
I believe in slowing down and making space for real emotion — the kind that sneaks up on you and sticks with you. I value storytelling over stiff poses, intention over tradition, and relationships over checklists.
Nature grounds my work and fuels my creativity — so whether we’re on the North Shore, in the mountains, or tucked away in a quiet cabin in the woods, I want your day to reflect who you are and what matters most.
Because at the end of it all, I care deeply that you walk away with more than photos — I want you to leave with a full heart and memories that feel just as beautiful as the images we create together.
It’s not just about the photos.
