I truly love taking portraits. As a photographer, I have always been intrigued with people, spaces, color, shapes and of course light. Whenever I go into a portrait session, especially on location, I never know exactly what I am going to create, but my goal is to make an image that I am proud of! There are always the ‘safe’ images that my clients need, but I always ask myself, “How can I push the limits here?”
Image for Jujube Minneapolis
That’s exactly what I was able to do with my friends Peter and Linda, owners of Saturday Dumpling Co. Along with Jake Johnson they officially announced their newest restaurant concept, Jujube, which will be coming to Minneapolis fall of 2026. The portraits we created were for their press release, but I also took some time to capture everyone individually as well. The image of Peter and Linda above is one of my all-time-favorite portraits I think I’ve ever taken. I love the color blocking, the composition, the strength and forward thinking we feel when looking at this image. Everything works from the shapes to lines to expressions - it’s fantastic!
We took these images using all natural light, right outside of the building of their new location. Below are a few more outtakes of these spectacular folks!
LOVEe
