North Dakota Wedding, Portrait, and Fine Art Photographer
Boozhoo. I am so glad you are here.
My name is Jaye, and I photograph stories throughout North Dakota and Minnesota. With each session, I offer more than a photograph. I offer space to be seen, held, and remembered.
I work with lovers, dreamers, and seekers who wish for imagery that feels honest and artful. Whether we meet at the edge of a lake, beneath ancient trees, or in your family’s backyard, we will move gently through light and quiet.
Together we will create something luminous.
Let your curiosity guide you through more of what I offer.
Wedding & Elopement Photography
For Lovers Who Value Intention and Artistry
Your love is worthy of imagery that honors its depth. Whether you are planning a large wedding surrounded by community, an intimate micro wedding, or a quiet elopement in the hills, I will be there with reverence. I offer destination and North Dakota wedding photography that reflects your traditions, your values, and your connection.
Let us slow down and witness the moments that matter most.
Portrait Photography for Artists, Makers, and Seekers
For Those Who Wish to Be Seen as They Are
Whether you are a small business owner, a performer, or someone simply longing to be photographed with care, these portraits are created to reflect who you are. I offer individual, branding, and portrait photography in North Dakota that focuses on quiet confidence, identity, and visibility.
Each session is tailored to your needs, with options for location scouting, outfit planning, and natural light studio settings.
Creative Portrait Photography
For Dreamers Who Wish to Build Something Beautiful
Creative portraits begin with a shared vision. These sessions are collaborations filled with moodboards, gentle styling, and the kind of imagination that turns ideas into art. We will shape something tangible from what you feel. These sessions often include film photography, styling support, and intentional locations that help anchor the dream.
If you are seeking fine art portraits in North Dakota, this is your invitation.
