STORYTELLING where you're the main character

From small town Minnesota

I grew up in small town rural Minnesota, and now call Sioux Falls, SD home. Being my indecisive self I changed my major 3x throughout college and didn't find my passion for photography until my very last semester of college. Today, I am passionate about documenting the love stories of couples and families and I can never get enough of it!! I love hiking, coffee/tea – NEED my hazelnut medium roast every morning, indie pop music, traveling & exploring new places, game nights with friends, baking & cooking new recipes with my boo, SUSHI, trying all types of new food especially of different international flavors!
