Hi, I’m Katie.

I am a portrait photographer based out of Albertville Minnesota which is in the NW corner of the Twin Cities. I specialize in High School Senior Photography as well as Dance School Photography.

About Katie
Five young children, four girls in lavender lace tutus and one boy in a white shirt with a purple bow tie, standing against a white background.

Dance Photography

I have been photographing dance studios capturing both team and individual photos for over 10 years. I really enjoy partnering with the studios and getting to know the dancers. Even though I only see them one week a year, it is exciting to watch the dancers grow and improve from year to year. If you are interested in working with me, please reach out to discuss. Each studio is a bit different and I'm happy to work with you on scheduling and ordering options that fit your needs.

High School Seniors

Senior year is such an exciting time! It is time to celebrate who you’ve become and who you are becoming next. I’ve been capturing this big moment for high school seniors across the Twin Cities since 2007. I make the process easy and fun with images that capture your confidence, your laugh, your story. No stiff poses, a relaxed session where you can be yourself. Let’s chat about your ideas and pick a location that fit you perfectly.
