Photography that lives in between timeless and modern. A film quality that feels tactile and utterly authentic. Naturally emotional, nostalgic portraits and candids.
When your photos feel like forever,
you never have to stop reliving the moment.
When your photos feel like forever, you never have to stop reliving the moment.
Over a decade ago, I became a photographer to take better images of my newborn son. I would carry my camera everywhere, capturing the movement as he ran and played.
Before long, I was photographing every moment of my family’s life– and everyone we knew. By the time my daughter was born, I was booked for weddings and family portraits across the country. Ten years later, I’ve continued to build my skills through mentorships and workshops with the best in the business. Today, I work with both couples and families to create images that capture emotion, detail, and movement to preserve a single moment in time. Born and raised in Minnesota, I love the Midwest but also take every opportunity to travel– whether I’m going back to San Diego (where I lived for almost a decade), photographing an engagement session in New York, or taking a trip up north, where we spend a lot of the summer.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT ME
On your wedding day, I am calm and collected but don’t take myself too seriously. I take incredible care of my clients, with the philosophy that your wedding photos are your family’s first heirlooms, and should be treated as such. No matter what, I want you to look back on your wedding photos and feel like they could have been yesterday because you chose someone with a timeless style. My aim is always that your images will still look great decades from now.

ABOUT MY STYLE & APPROACH
Over the past decade, I have specialized in a consistent photography style, photographing with a true-to-color, film-inspired edit. While trends are fun, what truly lasts is genuine emotion and photos that feel true to you as a couple. My work is a mix of those timeless, classic portraits you’d see in gilded frames with editorial and candid moments that took you by surprise. Ultimately, I photograph the details while keeping your relationship and guest dynamic front and center.
“Marit is an incredible photographer! She is exceptional at capturing emotion in her photos and when it comes to weddings, she never misses a detail! She is also incredibly kind, approachable and just fun to be around. She is communicative and responsive leading up to an event or session, putting fellow wedding vendors and clients at ease.”

While weddings can be stressful (and often are) the photography part does not need to be. I can honestly say one of my favorite parts of the day and the part I was the most calm and present for, was portraits with Marit. I felt so connected to my husband and our friends during this time while Marit managed to make everything look absolutely amazing. Every photo looks like it belongs on the pages of a magazine.... when I opened the album I couldn't believe it was our wedding. She went above and beyond our dreams!
"We hired Marit to photograph our wedding and it truly was the best decision we made."

Marit has a very calming presence that makes you feel comfortable if you aren't used to being in front of a camera. I've never been a fan of super staged photos, and prefer her style of more natural and fun art...capturing genuine personalities, fun, and magic.
"Marit did a beyond amazing job capturing all milestones for us that have created lasting memories that we will have for many years to come."
