minneapolis family photographer

I adore being a Minneapolis family photographer. One thing I've found over the years is that it's easy to take a lot of pictures in today's world on our phones since it's convenient, but how often do we invest in truly beautiful images? 

stress free maternity, newborn and family photography for the nostalgic mom who desires curated artwork for their home

My deepest desire is to give you an elevated family portrait experience. At the end of it all, I want you to have gorgeous, timeless artwork that you are proud to display in your home. You will be taken care of with the utmost intention!

PORTFOLIO

Minneapolis Maternity & Newborn photographer

Did you struggle to coordinate everyone’s outfits? Maybe it looked like a trip to the mall with the little ones in tow, only to find out you had to go back to make a return.

Maybe you rushed to get your own hair and makeup done, because goodness there were the kids and dad to get ready! 

The session was a lot of fun, but what do you do once the digital gallery is delivered? You know getting them off your hard drive is important and you would love to have the images displayed beautifully in an album on your coffee table. But where do you even begin?

Has your family photography experience ever looked anything like this?

If any of that resonated with you, imagine if your photographer took care of all those details for you!

I'm interested!

Claire was an amazing photographer to work with! She was very organized and took special care in taking all of the shots we requested. One of our favorite things about our experience with Claire at our wedding was how calm and gentle she was while still maintaining assertiveness. Many photographers increase the stress of the wedding day, but we had many friends and family comment on how kind and patient Claire was and how she helped make the entire day flow smoothly. On top of how great she was to work with, we had our ENTIRE gallery back to us less than 5 days after our wedding! It was such a gift to be able to enjoy all of our beautifully edited photos so quickly after the wedding day. We could not be any happier with how everything turned out!

One of my favorite moments was sneaking away from the reception for golden hour pictures! It was our first opportunity to get away from all the people and focus on the fact that we had just gotten married! Claire and Ben were awesome to shoot with all day. We chose Claire as our wedding photographer because David and I grew up showing goats with her at the county fair! It was great that we were already comfortable with her, but truly she doesn't need that advantage. She brings a calm yet excited vibe wherever she goes that puts people at ease in front of the camera. On top of all this, her work is absolutely stunning!

Claire is the best there is!! She makes you feel so comfortable. She guides you the whole way so you get the best shots. I personally loved the Motherhood Experience! I got my hair and makeup done (include in the package!) and I was able to purchase a beautiful frame with our favorite photo. Highly recommend Claire!

This was our first time having professional family photos taken of us and we couldn’t have had a better experience than with Claire! Even my husband who does not like to be photographed said “I would do that again!” We love Claire!!
