With over 5 years of professional photography experience, I fell in love with capturing moments in time forever. Professionally trained with an associates degree in photography and a certificate in entrepreneurial business, I specialize in pageantry headshots and studio portrait work. I also actively do family sessions, senior/graduation sessions and natural light portraits. When I am not taking pictures, I am a public advocate for mental health. I have created it my mission to use my platform to help educate and end the stigma of severe mental illness. Over 15 years experience in pageantry involving being a contestant, judge, and coaching, 4 years experience modeling runway fashion at New York Fashion Week, as well as being nominated as Plus Size Model of the Year for 2021.~ American Royal Beauties National Miss 2022 (national title)~ Miss Minnesota American Royal Beauties 2021~ Miss Minnesota Miss Beautifully You 2019~ Miss Minnesota Princess Of America 2018 (top 8 at nationals)~ Miss United Nations World Tourism 2017 (national title)~ Miss Minnesota World Tourism 2016~ Miss Minnesota American Coed 2015 (top 25 at nationals)~ Miss Eagan 2012~ Miss Eagan Junior Teen Queen 2006
