ABOUT
ME

HI, I’M CADIA

Minnesota portrait photographer inspired by fairytales, faces, and free-spirited fashion. I combine editorial direction with a relaxed, collaborative approach to create imagery that feels elevated and authentic.

I BECAME THE PHOTOGRAPHER I NEEDED

Being in front of the camera never came naturally to me. It felt awkward, uncomfortable, and a little stressful. Eventually, I realized what I was missing: a photographer who could make the experience feel easy — so I became her.

Now I create the kind of portrait experience I always needed: calm, easygoing, and deeply intentional. I’m Cadia — a dog mom, foodie, and lover of all things cozy. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me trying new restaurants or diving into my latest hobby. I feel so lucky to share one of my favorite creative outlets with you.
