HELPING COUPLES FEEL FULLY PRESENT ON ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS OF THEIR LIVES
I'm Ivy—and while beautiful photographs are part of what I do, helping couples actually enjoy their wedding day is what matters most to me. Over the last 10+ years, I've learned that the best images happen when you're fully present. That's why I help create timelines with breathing room, gently guide you when needed, and step back when moments naturally unfold. Whether you're planning a celebration close to home or an adventure somewhere new, my goal is simple:
To help your day feel intentional, relaxed, and authentically yours from beginning to end.

We would for 1000% recommend Ivy to others!
We have worked with Ivy several times and we have loved all of our sessions! I showed her several inspiration photos for our engagement shoot that I wanted to do similar and she captured everything beautifully. We also had her do our family photos with our 2 dogs and wow they turned out amazing! I was worried because one of our dogs kept moving/trying to go after the squirrels in the trees but thankfully ivy was able to get her to focus for the photos and capture amazing family photos. We would for 1000% recommend Ivy to others!

You will not regret hiring her, she is amazing and makes you feel comfortable and at easy the entire time.
We absolutely loved working with Ivy for our adventure couples session. She fully Embraced every crazy idea that we came up with, including a water session with a canoe and even falling out of the canoe. 😂 We LOVE our photos so much. You will not regret hiring her, she is amazing and makes you feel comfortable and at easy the entire time. Our only regret is not hiring her for our wedding!

Ivy truly captured us in our purest form! I would recommend Ivy a million times over
I have so many incredible things to say about Ivy- I wish we could give her more than 5 stars!! After tons of google searching, I came across Ivy on Instagram and fell IN LOVE with her feed. I had her booked just a couple days later for our engagement session and elopement. She is excellent at communicating and very thorough! My (now) husband and I had never had professional photos taken before, but Ivy made us very comfortable and they turned out INCREDIBLE! We had so many compliments from family and friends on our pictures. Ivy truly captured us in our purest form! I would recommend Ivy a million times over to any couple looking for some beautiful pictures!

Luxurious Wedding at Ruttger’s Lake Resort
elopement
wedding
There’s something truly magical about spending a whole weekend celebrating two people who are madly in love—especially when that weekend takes place at a dreamy lakeside resort in Minnesota. Last September, I had the absolute honor of photographing Roisen and Cody’s luxurious wedding at Ruttger’s Bay Lake Resort in Deerwood, MN—and let me just say, this one still lives rent-free in my head.
Let’s be real—if you’re dreaming of a slow, intentional, wildly romantic way to get married, there’s truly nothing like eloping along Minnesota’s North Shore. Whether it’s the waves crashing against black rock cliffs, the scent of pine in the air, or the way fog hangs low over the lake in the morning, this place just gets it.
