For the ones who chase golden light, who don’t mind a little wind in their hair, and who care more about how it feels than how it looks — you’re my people.

My work lives in the space between direction and honesty — a balance of art and instinct. I believe in movement over poses, emotion over perfection, and making sure you leave feeling more confident than you arrived.

WELCOME, I’M CADIA

I’m a Minnesota portrait photographer capturing nature lovers, whimsy chasers, and anyone who would rather wander than arrive.

Inspired by film tones and vintage aesthetics, I blend documentary honesty with a touch of editorial magic to capture moments that feel authentic, soft, and a little enchanted. Basically, I’m making cottagecore cool.

Life deserves a touch of romance. Let’s make something beautiful together.
