about Payton


Hi, I'm Payton! I'm 24 years old and have two lovable labs, Moose & Finn. I'm passionate about photography, traveling the world, real estate and making sure every moment is filled with fun & adventure. Alongside running the photography business I also work full-time at a construction company, where I have been the past 6 years. I am an outgoing person who likes to live like there could be no tomorrow. My boyfriend & I share a love for exploring life together wherever the adventure takes us or just taking on a remodeling project together on a whim. I'm a country music fan born and raised in southern Minnesota.

About Carly


Hi, I'm Carly! I'm 22 years old, born and raised in southern Minnesota. Alongside photography, I’ve also spent the past three years working full-time at a construction company. I’m known for being bubbly, outgoing, and always up for anything. I love traveling, whether it's exploring new places, hitting up trails in an atv, or spontaneous weekend getaways. Some of my favorite moments are spent with family creating lasting memories, and you can almost always find me with country music playing!

Our Approach -

As photographers, we want our clients to be as comfortable with us as they are their friends. Our greatest value for the clients is to create an experience worth their lifetime, so much that they want to book with us again. They would do so because they love our work, value our time & effort, and they trust us to create their timeless stories. Our editing style is warm and taking advantage of natural light. We enjoy telling stories so your photos will usually always have some smiling photos but we love to add movement & laughter to our photos. We do not just have one specialty in photography because we would hate to limit ourselves or our clients because they are at a different stage in life. We take pride in our returning clients in every stage of life and getting to watch their chapters in life and even better yet Photograph them!

We also take pride in being hands on with our clients from the time they sign the contract. We provide styling guides and location guides. We want it all to be seamless and stress free and make sure the client leaves feeling fulfilled and excited to think "that was so much fun" even the husbands that didn't really want to do the photos will leave with a good laugh.
