“Everything I do now builds the life I owe myself.”

This isn’t just a quote — it’s the foundation of how I move, create, and connect. Every photo, every story, every project is designed to make an impact now and for generations to come.

About TP Photo Studio & Minnesota Faces

I don’t just take pictures.

I capture purpose.

Through TP Photo Studio and my documentary project Minnesota Faces, I create visuals that speak truth, preserve legacy, and showcase the power behind real people and real stories.

From corporate headshots to major events, from portraits that capture soul to videos that archive legacy — I bring vision to life for clients who want more than just a photo. They want meaning.

Why I Do It

Photography saved me. It gave me peace, purpose, and a way to express what I couldn’t say with words. Now I use that gift to document legacy, elevate voices, and show people who they really are — with nothing fake, just real moments and real purpose.

Let’s build something that matters.

Let’s capture the purpose in your story.

Let’s build the life we owe ourselves — one frame at a time.
