After our first meeting with Kjerstin, we knew she’d be a good fit to photograph our wedding! She felt like an old friend right from the start and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process.
She was receptive to our ideas, but also gave constructive, professional feedback that we welcomed as we wanted our photos to look their best. They turned out beautiful, and my maid of honor is also having her photograph her wedding day!

KJ deserves photographer of the year award for making it to our wedding in a snow/ice storm on her birthday! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to do our elopement session at the Cotton Mansion in Duluth. They were fun to work with and the photos are stunning.
I most definitely will be using her for future sessions. Thank you so much for your amazing work and making it to our special day!

I had a boudoir session/ experience with KJ. This goes above and beyond from the first meeting of talking about what you envision to what is the inner purpose. It caters to YOUR thoughts!! She is really truly a professional!! She then sends ideas and pictures and we go over any insecurities and how the process works. We met up again to look at outfit ideas. But day of, I was a ball of anticipation nerves being an introvert, but I chose to have my bestie come along to help me on my day and after I got my hair and makeup done we met KJ at the studio. She made me feel comfortable and safe and knew exactly how to pose me. We had music and I had some liquid courage. It was more than a photo session. It was an uplifting and fun experience. This is something that was for me and I am proud of my introverted self for doing it!! I love the photos and even going through them after was so fun and I was shocked at how they turned out. So worth it!!! Best experience

My wedding pictures are AMAZING. KJ was able to manifest the vision I had in my mind so beautifully. Hands down the best photographer.

Kj had recently done our engagement photos and they turned out so wonderful! She was not only professional, but relaxed enough to make us both feel comfortable. You can tell she has quite the eye for photography. She listened to what we wanted but also made very helpful suggestions for different poses and places. We are both very excited for her to shoot our wedding!! Would highly recommend!

Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value


We went through KJ for our wedding, and she was fantastic. I am not the most keen person on photos and she worked with it wonderfully. She even stayed a bit late for our first dance. Again, I'm not much of a photo person, but if I ever needed professional pictures, I would 100% go through her again.
