About
I got my start in sports photography, so I know you need to be fast to capture the moment. I’m also the mom of two boys who dreaded getting their pictures taken.
I believe that low-stress, low-drama sessions yield the best results! It’s just me and you — and any other people or pets you want along — ideally in a location that has meaning to you.
No assistant, no giant flash box, no accessories — just natural-looking photos that capture your best.
A few examples from recent shoots.

Kind words
“The whole process with KC was amazing! For my senior, the session flew by. KC has a wonderful way of keeping him talking, which resulted in natural, authentic photos while effortlessly guiding him into poses that turned out beautifully. As a parent, what impressed me most was the time she took to learn what was important to my son and thoughtfully incorporate those interests into his photos. It was an extra level of care I never expected, and watching those moments come together actually brought tears to my eyes. The photos captured so much more than just how he looked — they captured who he is. I couldn’t recommend KC more highly!”
“I was not looking forward to taking my senior photos. KC made it fun and easy by encouraging me just to be myself. KC met us at the lake where I spent a lot of my childhood and took my photos at the beach and basketball court that I grew up playing at. The photos turned out great and have so much sentimental value in them. Thank you, KC!”
“My son is incredibly shy and was dreading his senior photos, but KC completely turned the experience around. She willingly met us out at Lake Minnetonka — where my son spent so much of his childhood — which instantly helped him feel safe and in his element. KC was so patient, gentle, and intentional about building trust rather than forcing stiff, unnatural poses. For the first time in years, I watched my son totally relax and open up in front of the camera. The final photos are breathtaking, capturing his true personality and quiet confidence in a place that means the world to our family. I will treasure these photos forever!”
“We used KC for a group graduation photo session for four high school senior girls, and she was fantastic! Getting four girls to agree on a photo could have been a challenge, but KC gave us so many amazing options that their biggest problem was deciding which one to use for their graduation cards. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience or the photos!”
“The senior photo experience exceeded our expectations. The session was relaxed and easy for our son, and the final images perfectly captured who he is. The photos feel authentic, natural, and full of personality. We absolutely love the results.”
“KC is wonderful! Her process is fun and flexible. The experience was easy and stress-free for my son. She captured authentic, amazing photos. It was a fantastic session!”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the whole session was really easy and relaxed. The photos turned out great and actually felt like me instead of being overly posed.”
