PLAYFUL IMAGES FOR BRANDS, LOVERS, & LIFE AS IS
Photography is where it all started, and it's still one of my favorite ways to tell a story. I don't shoot just to make things look good. I shoot to make things work. For your brand. Your business. Your legacy. Your life. No matter the vibe, my approach is the same:
INTENTIONAL, EMOTIONALLY DRIVEN, AND ROOTED IN WHO YOU ACTUALLY ARE.
I'M VANESSA, BUT EVERYONE CALLS ME V.
I’m a Minneapolis based photographer who loves impromptu tattoo dates, making any surface into a dancefloor if the music is good, and saying “omg cuuuuute!” too many times while taking photos! My favorite part about being a photographer is the connection i get to make with my clients and knowing that the galleries I deliver are a true representation of who they are and how their experience day felt.
Set what a photo may look like aside— I’m a firm believer that it’s actually the experience behind the photo that can make or break it.
In other words… the only thing making you feel awkward in photos is the fact that you just don’t feel comfy– it’s not you. I mean, think about it. getting a photo taken by a friend is WAYYYY less pressure than getting it taken by a professional. and that’s what i want to be, your friend! You are getting more than just a photographer out of me.
you are getting someone who truly cares about what makes you your you-est, so that you can relive your current era through your gallery foreva

Real moments > Pinterest perfection. Weddings are chaotic, emotional, beautiful, and wildly unpredictable and that's what makes them magical. My wedding galleries are a perfect balance of documentary style moments twisted up with an editorial flair.

LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Couples, engagements, and real life connection. Lifestyle sessions are relaxed, movement-based sessions focused on connection and celebrating the stage of life you're currently in! If being told to "act natural" makes you want to pass away-- I've got you. My sessions are guided when needed, and hands off when you're doing your thang. My shooting style is inspired by who you are in front of me, and we put a spin on things from there!
