minneapolis, minnesota photographer
specializing in motherhood, maternity,
newborn, Family & lifestyle photography

I’ve always been a dreamer, an encourager, a creator, and a celebrator. I believe that I was put on the earth to find and create beauty. My life's anthem is 'open hands, open hearts,' and I am constantly in awe of the grace of Jesus. I’m happily married to my best friend, mama to our darling son, lover of red wine, and a home filled with fresh flowers and the perfect charcuterie. 

With the arrival of our son, my heart has fallen in love with everything about photographing, embracing, and celebrating all things motherhood, family, and the most beautiful babes. I am passionate about creating light, airy, film-inspired heirloom portraits that will tell each family's story for years to come. I believe in creating client relationships and client experiences that are full of warmth, kindness and connection. I would love to come alongside you to create and style your session to reflect the beautiful family you have created.

My hope is that when each mama leaves their portrait session, they are encouraged and inspired to continue on in the beautiful work they are doing in motherhood, whether in carrying their babe or helping them grow. Mama, the impact you are making on the hearts of your children is beyond what you will ever know or see. I pray that as you look through every portrait in your gallery, you see a glimpse of the beautiful relationships you are creating with your child. You are filling their little hearts with love, embrace and joy.

Testimonial

Motherhood Client

Working with Claire was beyond amazing. She has taken newborn, family and motherhood photos for my family. She is so kind and sweet. Claire really pays attention to detail but does it in such an effortless way. During all of my sessions, she made me so comfortable in front of the camera and has provided me gorgeous pictures of my family that I will always treasure. I can’t recommend Claire enough to take pictures for your family! She will capture the perfect moments for you.

Testimonial

Motherhood Client

Honestly, there are not enough words to express how amazing Claire is in general and as it relates to her photography. Claire has been photographing my family’s most precious memories for quite some time and in capturing those memories, she keeps sessions fun, natural, and warm. She is incredibly genuine and has a clear passion for what she does. It not only shows in her photos, but most importantly, in how she interacts with anyone she works with. If you are looking for a photographer that continually strives to make genuine connections with clients, absolutely LOVES what they do, and accepts nothing less than giving you the best experience possible, look no further than Claire. In every session I have had, all of them have been absolutely incredible. I will always recommend Claire without hesitation

"I’m thankful and honored to have her capture these moments in my lifetime."

Testimonial

Motherhood Client

Claire is as talented as she is kind! As someone who isn’t very comfortable in front of a camera, she is able to communicate directions easily which is SO helpful for me. I’m thankful and honored to have her capture these moments in my lifetime!
