I give about a hundred hugs a day to our yellow lab Cooper who is an inexhaustible ball of adorable energy and doggo kisses. I also spend a notable amount of time attempting to bake things from the Great British Bake Off. (50% epic failure rate but the mess is worth the fun.) When it’s been a rough day and I need a hug from the inside, my comfort food is a black bean chalupa supreme from the Bell. Finally, travel is a huge part of my life and every year I plan a two week trip to somewhere I’ve never been to explore, meet some awesome people, enjoy the local cuisine, and just have some fun doing things like surfing in Costa Rica, staying at an organic vineyard in Italy, learning to coastal forage in Scotland and, most recently, salmon fish alongside bears in Kodiak, Alaska.
So that’s a bit about me, now let’s talk about you! If you like my work, dig my style, and have an event or a moment in time you would like to remember forever, let’s chat. I would love the opportunity to share your excitement, talk about your photography inspirations, and get to know the unique and awesome YOU!

My Photography Style
My passion has always been to live out in the world forming true connections with people and to be a creator of something honest and authentically beautiful. From day one you will have my unwavering support and guidance as we create a unique visual story of your life moment and have fun doing it! My mission as your photographer is to put you at ease in front of the camera so you can feel free to laugh, relax, and focus on being present for your day so you don’t miss a thing. I am happy to location scout for the best place near your venue for some stunning backgrounds and the perfect place to give you that golden backlight at sunset. I thoughtfully capture every big moment and relationship important to you and my eye is always roving for those special candid moments that happen in the flow of a full day together with friends and family.
My True Self
Aside from photography, there are many other things that make me wake up with a smile on my face. Distance running is my jam and I try to spend time every day laced up and zoned out for an hour set aside just for me. My own love story began when my husband and I met in a running group. He was cute enough to make me ignore the burning pain of my first six miler and I stole his heart by talking about musky fishing. We were married on the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior in a June fog so thick that the only thing our guests could say about the ceremony as they huddled together for warmth was that it was “mystical”. To us, though, it was perfect.
“Piper was incredible to work with for our wedding and I can’t recommend her enough. I tend to avoid getting my picture taken and was a bit nervous about having to smile on cue during our couples session. But Piper’s energy and hilarious stories had us laughing and feeling so relaxed that I forgot all about the camera and just had fun with my new husband which ended up creating beautifully natural wedding photos that we will cherish forever.”
