How would you describe your style? At Simply Hunny Co., our style is all about blending the cozy rawness of documentary moments with the fun, graceful feel of a soft editorial. Think of it as a blend of candid and gently posed, so your photos feel timeless, a little playful, and like imagery that just feels like home—like the feeling of your feet on summer grass or a freshly lit candle in your favorite room. That’s exactly how I want your photos to feel.

Do you help with posing and candid shots? Absolutely! I create a Pinterest board for every session to keep things fresh and unique. That way, no two sessions feel the same. Sometimes my brides have their own vision boards too, and I love collaborating to blend my creativity with yours. It's all about making each session feel like a new adventure.

What inspires you? Honestly, it’s the relationships. I love when brides feel like family. It’s the sweetest thing when bridesmaids tell me they’d love to have me at their wedding someday or when I get invited to baby showers down the road. That connection and the feeling that we’re not just capturing photos but building lifelong memories together—that’s what inspires me.

How many weddings do you take each year? I cap it at around 10 to 14 weddings a year. It’s all about quality over quantity so I can tailor each experience and focus on every couple. I want each wedding to feel intentional and personal, not rushed.

Do you photograph more than just weddings? Yes, I also do couples, maternity, and documentary-style family sessions. It’s such a joy to see past couples again or meet new families and just capture those cozy, milestone moments beyond the wedding day.

Why do couples choose SHC? It’s the cozy feeling in the imagery, for sure, but it’s also the personal touch. I’m all about planning a detailed, seamless timeline so your day goes off without a hitch. I’ve had so many brides tell me they couldn’t have done the day without me, and that’s the best compliment I could ever hear. It’s that combination of heartfelt imagery and a well-organized, calm approach that makes SHC special.

Do you travel for weddings? Yes, yes, and yes! I’m always thrilled to travel anywhere within the U.S.—whether it’s the mountains, the coast, or the desert, the rates remain the same. I’m really looking forward to boosting my travel for weddings in the next couple of years—so it’s a fun adventure I can’t wait to dive into more.

What’s required to book? To officially secure your date, there’s a 50% non-refundable deposit. The remaining 50% is due two weeks before your wedding. It’s all super simple and done online for your convenience.

How long until we receive our photos? For engagement or family sessions, you’ll have your gallery within one to three weeks. For weddings, it’s typically about four to eight weeks. And don’t worry—you’ll get a sneak peek of 30 to 50 photos within 72 hours of your wedding day, so you can relive the magic right away.

Do you offer videography? Yes! SHC is officially offering videography starting in 2026 for the right circumstances, and by 2027, we’ll have full videography packages on the website. It’s an exciting new chapter that I can’t wait to share with you all.

Home will always be Minnesota, but my heart beats for new places — for morning light over the Carolinas, ocean air on the Oregon coast, and warm desert tones in Arizona. These are the places I dream of capturing love — where stories unfold against landscapes that take your breath away, yet still feel like home.

• Texas, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Cape Cod, the Oregon Coast, Montana, Wyoming, Maine, Massachusetts, California, Washington Coast, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New York, Hawaii… all of it.

I already have two travel weddings planned for 2026, but I’d love to welcome more for 2027 and beyond.

If SHC were a movie genre… If SHC were a genre of movie, it would absolutely be a Nancy Meyers film — The Holiday, The Parent Trap, Father of the Bride, anything in that world. That is exactly what I want SHC to feel like — cozy, timeless, golden, full of warmth and home. I’m literally giggling right now. I have goosebumps. My whole body feels tingly. Yes, yes, yes. The Holiday is one of my favorite movies of all time, and if my business and my photos can feel even a little like that movie… I’d honestly faint.

Editing soundtrack or show? I’m a YouTube girl through and through. Cozy vloggers are my go-to — the kind that make you feel snug and inspired all at once. I also love having an audiobook on while I edit. Throne of Glass will forever have my heart — truly one of the best adventure series I’ve ever read.

Where do you edit most days? It depends on the day (and the vibe). Sometimes I’m at my kitchen table, sometimes cozied up on the couch or in bed, and sometimes I’ll hop on my walking pad in my office. Other days, you’ll find me at a coffee shop that feels like it’s straight out of a 90s rom-com.

What’s in your camera bag? Too much, probably. Lens wipes, mounts, hair ties, band-aids, backup glasses, extra contacts, and an unreasonable number of batteries and SD cards “just in case.” My backup camera always has its own bag, and there’s definitely chapstick and lotion tucked in every pocket.

Dream day off? Traveling somewhere new or doing something simple — coffee shop hopping, house-hunting with my husband, browsing vintage finds, or just staying in with a good candle and a cozy movie. I’m a big movie girl at heart.

Current favorite color? Brown — a rich, deep, true brown. Not red-toned, just that warm, grounded color that feels classic and cozy all at once.

What do you collect? Stickers from every new place I travel and far too many coffee mugs. They’ve become my unofficial souvenirs.

Favorite season to photograph in? Fall and spring — easily. There’s something about the warmth and color of fall, and the fresh, hopeful feeling of spring that just fits the SHC rhythm perfectly.

Most random place you’d love to shoot? A cozy coffee shop or a tucked-away bookstore (I’m convinced the photos would be stunning, even if people stare). And if we’re talking dream venues — The Emerson in Texas. I would scream out loud if I got the opportunity to capture a wedding there!
