The Artist

My name is Rebeccah and I'm so happy to have you here. I'm a Minneapolis girl, born and raised. I'm a wife to a wonderful husband and momma to a goofball elementary aged daughter. I'm Swedish, love a good sci-fi thriller, have a standing date with my husband every Tuesday for $5 movie night, can make a mean omelette, and am that person who asks at a restaurant if they have Coke or Pepsi and, if it's Pepsi, I just get a water.

I find daily inspiration in the beautiful and fleeting moments in my own life and seek to infuse the same authentic feel into my client work. In addition to features in countless national photography outlets, I am also an accomplished film photographer and my work has been shown in juried fine art competitions.

Studio Philosophy

I take a select number of clients each year so that I can ensure a wonderful experience for each and every family. In addition to the digital images that come with each session for safe keeping, I also offer the highest quality items for purchase. The same framed collections I sell can be seen on the walls of my own home; the same albums can be found on my own coffee table; and the same gift prints are given each year to my own parents and grandparents with love.

In this age of technology and digital life, I am humbled to guide my clients towards artwork that they can touch, feel, and see for generations to come. This is the good life; remember to preserve it.

About

I stood there- mortified- and started to break a sweat.

My 1 year old was having a complete meltdown, five minutes into her first ever photography session, and there was nothing I could do about it. She didn’t want to smile or even to be held; she wanted to take off the frilly dress I had put her in and she wanted her pacifier. She started to cry, as 1 year olds often do, and then I started to cry. I was embarrassed. I felt as though I was wasting the photographers time, “I swear she’s usually so well behaved!” must have come out of my mouth at least 7 times and I was heartbroken that we were paying all this money to have photos taken when I was sure none of them were going to turn out.

I have been there.

I know what can go wrong when photographing children and babies. But, the best part? I know what can go so right with photographing them. The genuine smiles that you are never quick enough to capture with your iPhone. The look of total and complete love when your husband holds his new baby daughter for the first time. The joy on your 6 year olds face as we say, “okay- one big jump!” and I’m there to capture his look of triumph when he lands.

The tears may come but, I promise, the smiles will come too. And when they do, I will be there to photograph them.

My name is Rebeccah, I am a Minneapolis based photographer, and it would be my pleasure to capture your family in the same way I want to capture my own – the gritty and the polished – so that when you look back on your time with me you see the true soul of your family shining through.

“You don’t make a photograph with a camera.You bring to the act of photography, all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved”. ~ Ansel Adams
