Hi, I’m Sydnee!
As photographer and a mom of an autistic child, I know how stressful a photo shoot can be on BOTH sides of the camera. Capturing the perfect moment for an important event is always surrounded by a rollercoaster of emotions + stress.
Through hundreds of family sessions over the years, I’ve learned how to keep photos natural, relaxed, and a true reflection of your personality. I have over 15 years of experience in capturing b’nai mitzvahs, and have relationships with every major synagogue in the Twin Cities.
Schedule a free call with me to talk about capturing the magic of your child’s b’nai mitzvah.
What’s it like to work with Sydnee?

“We have three young kids, and it’s no small feat to get pictures where everyone in the family is looking and participating. Just asking them to sit and smile is doesn’t work with our crew! Sydnee found ways to get to know the kids, make them laugh, and bring them to life. Sydnee is so good at capturing them in their space and in a way that they are excited about.”

“It was our oldest daughter's Bat Mitzvah and we didn't know where to start - thank goodness our friend's came to us with a couple great vendors, including Ms. Sydnee. She knew more about the day than we did and was able to point us in the right direction and capture the highlights from the amazing event. Even when it came to all of the unique dynamics and groupings within our extended family, she knew the shots we wanted from the big day and was able to stick with us until the lights went out that night!”

“With Sydnee, I found an excellent photographer that I trust. She has the vulnerability that is part of having your photograph taken, she makes sure I am completely happy with the results, and she captures the personalities in my family. She’s professional, fun, and produces amazing results!”

“Over many years, I have had the pleasure of working with Sydnee to capture precious moments of my young kids, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Sydnee displayed incredible patience and skill, effortlessly capturing natural shots. Her easygoing demeanor made the session a breeze, putting my kids at ease and allowing their personalities to shine through. I highly recommend Sydnee for anyone looking to beautifully preserve their family memories.”
