I’m Maggie, and I’m your new favorite

Duluth wedding photographer, documenting cozy love stories

Hey, welcome in! I’m a Minnesota native,
lover of bright sunny days on the North Shore,
and a wedding photographer excited to serve you.

"You'll never live this day again.”

On the softball field, I didn’t yet know the valuable memories I’d be making by simply catching and throwing a ball. But my dad did. Guided by that one statement: “You’ll never live this day again,” he bought a Canon Rebel T1i to capture all the dirt, scabs, and spills of 12U softball. While I was playing, he was busy capturing moments I’d treasure for years to come.

MOVEMENT AND MEMORY PRESERVATION HAS INSPIRED ME EVER SINCE.

“She was a ray of sunshine
and was incredibly helpful and organized.
She was so fun! I felt like she was a true friend.”

From the neighborhood softball field to the photography big leagues.

Inspired by my dad’s wisdom and skill at photographing me even while in motion, I started taking sports photos for fun. The family’s fancy camera hung around my neck everywhere we went. From my sisters’ softball tournaments and dance competitions to my college’s DIII sports teams, photography became more than a hobby: it became my passion.

While earning my doctorate in physical therapy, I continued to practice photography and even started my business while in graduate school. Each day, I studied how to restore mobility to aching parts of the body, and then by the time I shut my textbooks on Friday, I’d be planning the next Minnesota love story I’d get to capture that weekend. (But let’s be real, I was dreaming about how to best capture your wedding day long before classes let out on Friday!)

Now, with photography as my creative outlet and physical therapy as my day job, I’ve struck a balance of work and play, caring professionalism and joyful creativity, healing the muscles for motion and capturing the motion of your wedding veil dancing in the chilly North Shore breeze. My mission is to serve you, guided by my love for telling beautiful stories through movement captured in still imagery.

Let’s tell every piece of your story, from the happy tears to the busted dance moves.

It Never Gets Old

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE WEDDING DAY MOMENTS

A wedding day is without a doubt one of the most emotional days in a couple’s life. And I can’t help but get swept up in it all! No matter how many celebrations I’ve photographed before, you better believe yours will make me feel every single emotion!

I’ll be wiping away tears during

Your first dances

I’ll gasp for sure when

You finally say “I do”

I’ll want to give you a massive hug when

You see yourself in your gown

I won’t be able to stop laughing during

Your dad’s stories from your childhood

I’ll definitely say “awww!” when

You tell me the proposal story

I’ll let out a cheer when

You first kiss as a married couple!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"She made the whole process very easy and fun!"

Maggie did our maternity photo shoot and was AMAZING to work with. I would highly recommend going to her for your photography needs. She had great recommendations for photo poses and locations and made the whole process very easy and fun! She also had great communication and got us the edited photos very quickly. Thank you Maggie for everything!

“Her organization and openness with me put me at ease.”

My favorite part of the process was how easy and carefree and natural it was for me to feel both comfortable and stress-free about my photos on my wedding day. It truly felt like I was in excellent hands…and helped me enjoy my day so much more.

Although Minnesota serves as my homebase, and I’m a proud Duluth wedding photographer, I’m also a traveling physical therapist! That means I might be coming soon to your hometown!

So, if you’re interested in booking a senior, family, couple, or professional headshot session with me soon, keep your eyes on this space where I’ll share my current location and announce where I’m off to next!
