PHOTOGRAPHY
is my passion
Photography is my passion, my gift, my artistic outlet, and my job. I absolutely love sharing this gift with my clients and seeing their reactions to the portraits I am able to create for them.
MY FAMILY
means the world to me
I believe my husband is the most amazing man on earth and I feel so lucky everyday to be able to call him mine. Together, we have two amazing children. Carter is graduating from Creighton University and is so smart and grounded. We are so proud of him, he is one of those children who make parenting look easy. We have a 10 year gap between our two children - yes, 10 years! Ella is a complete spitfire and keeps us young. She loves to dance and spread joy. She brings a smile to our faces and those around her. We are excited to see where life takes her.
THE STUDIO
the perfect setting to create beautiful art
Elite Portrait Design, located just outside of Mankato, between Mankato and St. Peter, is one of southern Minnesota's largest photography studios. The studio itself was specially designed with large windows to capture the most beautiful portait light. Our beautiful country setting features grassy fields, wooded areas, wildflowers, and a private beach. The urban backdrops of Mankato and Saint Peter are just minutes away.
MY PONIES
a dream come true
These two ponies have the most amazing personalities. Bubbles, my daughters pony, is the best little pony you will ever meet. He is as cute as he is sweet with little black dots scattered around his body. My "pony", Fabio, is the most kind hearted guy you will ever meet. He is a beautiful Palomino and I'm pretty sure he knows it. When I need to relax, I head to the barn to see these two.
