I have always enjoyed photography, but I began this career path in 1986. I enrolled at the Hennepin Tech Center School’s Commercial Photography Program. I fully intended to go into advertising photography, I interned & was hired at Tom Berthuim’s Photography Studio in Minneapolis, MN. We photographed: fashion, food, and architecture for different magazines. My friends and family kept asking me to photograph their weddings & babies, and I enjoyed that so much, I decided to start my own studio. In May of 1989, Rum River Studio was established. Thank you to all my customers, whom in the last 20 years, have trusted me to photograph the most special events of their lives.
