hi, i'm ivy!

photographer. studio owner.

ap esthetician.

I am a dreamer. I am the momma of my naughty fur-baby, Kodak. I’m the wife of an amazing hardworking man. I’m the step-mom to the best boy. I grew up on a farm. I love traveling and meeting new people. I am a sushi person. Seriously, my go to place is always a sushi restaurant! You can find anything from country music to hard rock playing on my radio - live music and concerts are some of my favorite places!


I’m originally from the Wheaton, Minnesota area; this is where I founded my photography business! Our family now lives in the rural Hewitt, Minnesota area and I love to call this area home! When I’m not behind the camera you’ll catch me in my salon suite at the studio in Wadena where I take on clients as an advanced practice esthetician as well!


ALRIGHT, ENOUGH ABOUT ME; LET'S GET TO YOU!


Since beginning on this journey, I knew I wanted to provide a unique experience for everyone in my area! Gone are the days of static photos that all look the same -- I want your photos to really represent who you are! I am so excited to bring a custom and personal photography experience to you! I believe every photo tells a story - let my photographs tell yours.

the studio

let's get creative!

I built my first studio in my hometown in 2017. Since relocating to rural Hewitt and selling my OG studio, I couldn't wait to find another space! Not only is my Wadena studio a meeting spot & shooting space for my clients, it's available to rent to other photographers too!

esthetics

 

you glow girl!

I went back to school for my esthetician license in 2020 with full intentions of holding my license only to offer airbrush makeup services to my clients, I feel in love with many of the services estheticians are able to offer! In my down time between shoots (*cough* esp our never ending winters) you'll find me offering lash extensions, body waxing, specialty skin treatments and more in my salon suite located in the back of my studio!
