Meet John!

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I specialize in Wedding & Portrait photography. My photography seeks to express emotion. I wake up each day and adhere to a strict diet of eating, drinking, and sleeping photography. I love nothing more than to capture two people in love. My camera allows me to captures moments that may go otherwise unnoticed. I’m not your “stand there while I count 1,2,3…Cheese” type of photographer. My past clients would tell you it’s likely you will see me shooting from trees, hanging off boat docks, laying on my stomach in sub-zero temperature, or standing over the edge of a bridge. I do whatever it takes to “get the shot”. I love shooting people and can honestly say “I’m livin’ the dream”.

I live with my amazing wife Emily, my daughter Eliza, and my sweet dog Zoe. When I'm not carrying my camera around, I enjoy cycling, rollerblading, and listening to live music. Trying out unique food (Thai, Indian, Turkish, Russian, etc.) makes me happy!

Sorry, I have been out of commission for so long. I have a number of sessions to post soon!

Last weekend, Emily and I volunteered to babysit our friend’s kids while they packed to move. Olivia and Julia are two of the cutest little girls in the whole world. We turned on a movie for them and they were instantly ‘glued’ to the set. I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful light coming in. I candidly snapped some shots of them. They never even acknowledged that I was photographing them with my big camera and lens. I love seeing the obvious innocence in their eyes. It’s a beautiful thing!
