chasing perfection?
not gonna find that here.
What a way to open, right? But it's the truth. I don't believe in creating an image or story that doesn't exist in the real world. What I do believe in is authenticity, vulnerability, and emotion. I believe in upfront pricing, quick turnaround and a unique experience catered to you. If that sounds like your kind of person, I'm your girl! Based in Alexandria MN and serving Douglas County and nearby communities.
photography sessions for
every season of life.
Creating a comfortable, easygoing experience is at the heart of how I work. I love connecting with my clients, learning about their lives, and making sessions feel more like a conversation than a photoshoot. When you feel relaxed and present, your images naturally reflect that.

what i
believe in.
Wondering what it is that sets Spirit & Soul apart? Here's a glimpse.
01.
upfront pricing
All my sessions include the specified number of edited digital images with all rights - no hidden costs or upsells unless you choose to upgrade your gallery! I believe in transparency from the get-go.
02.
client choice
I always edit more than the allotted amount of images so that you, the client, can choose the images that speak to you most. More photos per session are always available with a package upgrade.
03.
quick turnaround
Your time matters to me, so I prioritize quality editing and timely delivery. I don't believe in making a client wait for weeks on end for their images. Full galleries are *typically* delivered in 1-2 weeks.
04.
guided experience
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do — I’ll guide you every step of the way. I focus on real connection and conversation so your session feels relaxed, natural, and genuinely you.
why trust me
with your story?
I won't lie, you have your choice of many talented photographers in this area. In some cases, I may refer you to them if I feel they could serve you better! My goal is to provide a photo experience where you feel heard and seen. I am not a stand-still-smile-and-say-cheese type of photographer. I want to capture the real-life moments for you:

since i'll be telling your story...
here's some of mine.
Hi, I’m Beth, a photographer based in Alexandria MN, serving Douglas County and nearby communities.
I create natural, story-driven photography for families, seniors, couples, and small businesses who want images that feel honest, connected, and timeless — not stiff or overly posed.
I love connecting with my clients and learning more of their stories, and sometimes that means getting deep. Here are a few of the roles I play!

kind words.
you want to make some magic.
but something is stopping you.
I've asked around, and most often, one of three things are stopping someone from having photos taken: 1) Worry surrounding physical appearance and weight 2) Anxiety around the behavior of children 3) The financial investment.
These are real, valid concerns. And while I can't promise an instant fix, I CAN promise you I have been there myself. I'm human. I will do my best to meet you where you are at, to give you suggestions on wardrobe, to chase your kiddos around for smiles, and to create a payment plan that works. These obstacles shouldn't keep you from commemorating this season of life.
