CAPTURING YOUR MOST SPECIAL MOMENTS

get to know me

Hi friend, I'm so glad you're here.  I cannot wait to get to know you! For now, a little about me.. I was born and raised in Fargo ND with two lovely parents and two younger siblings. I married my high school sweetheart at 19 and we now have a precious daughter. I have a degree in elementary education but am doing photography full time alongside being a full time momma. In my free time I'm likely getting coffee with a friend, thrifting around town, going on nature walk or baking in my kitchen.

A Follower of Jesus, Wife, Mother, and your next Photographer...

hello, I'm Payton
