Hey there!

I’m so glad you’re here and curious to learn more about me—thanks for stopping by!

I’m Laeti (pronounced Let-tah), but my friends call me Letta (lead-dah). I’m a lifestyle photographer and proud business owner based in the beautiful city of Minneapolis, which has truly captured my heart. 

From its vibrant cultures and stunning fall foliage to the lively springs and crisp summers (even if I’m not a fan of the humidity!), this place is special to me. And let’s not forget those blissful, postcard-perfect snowy winters.

They’re the best!

Each season inspires me to embrace the weather and seek out outdoor adventures—like visiting the local Farmers Market in the spring and summer! 

My Approach creating your story:

I love harnessing the beauty of natural light and the magic it brings to your photographs. Most of my sessions take place outdoors, where we can explore and create amazing memories together—weather permitting, of course! 

I also adore in-home photo sessions.

Why?

Because it gives, you the freedom to be yourself allowing me to capture those genuine moments of your everyday life where you feel comfortable in your own space.

And if the weather doesn't cooperate, I have access to a natural light studio for those colder Minnesota months or rainy days.

I'm not here to create perfectly posed images.

My passion lies in capturing the real you—the fun and authentic moments that truly reflect who you are as a family or couple.

So feel free to come as you are!

Whether you choose to dress casually or dress up, do what makes you look and feel your best, and let me take care of the rest.

Together, we’ll create something truly special!

More Random Facts About Me…

I adore outdoor concerts, festivals, art shows, and my absolute favorite, the Minnesota Renaissance Festival—Huzzah!

My hunny bunny and I love dressing up to immerse ourselves in all the festivities; it’s always a blast! ( If you hover over the photo, you’ll see my hunny bunny and I all decked out for the Renaissance Festival ).

Once summer hits, grilling becomes my favorite pastime. There’s nothing quite like firing up the grill and infusing fresh herbs from my garden and delicious veggies from the Farmers Market into mouthwatering meals.

When I’m not capturing beautiful memories, you can find me enjoying classic old westerns with my hunny bunny (we crack up!) or lounging on our balcony with a good book. Speaking of books, my collection is a little out of control—I just can’t help myself from picking up more! 

There’s something magical about having a stack of books waiting to be read, and I love getting lost in different worlds, stories, and characters.

I love music so, dancing in my home like nobody’s watching is essential—especially when I’m cleaning! ( Which is why it takes me two hours to clean ). It doesn’t matter if it’s live music or my favorite playlist, I can’t resist busting a move whenever it’s possible.

I have a collection of buddhas (one in every room, including my balcony!) and a few adorable frog figurines. I adore frogs for their symbolism of patience, while my buddhas remind me to stay calm.

Every day, I wear my camera necklace and a beautiful moon crystal (a different color depending upon my mood for the day ) as a nod to my passion for photography and the tranquility I seek in life. I also have a love affair with the Italian language, thanks to the first Godfather movie. I know, I’m a bit quirky! But, I fell in love with the language after watching the movie. And I’ve been practicing the language on and off for years and just recently got back into it.

Now, let’s chat about food! Some of my favorites are: pizza, burgers, tacos, burritos, chips and salsa, Thai food, Indian food (anything with curry!), and heavenly cinnamon granola with oat milk! Fresh fruits like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, peaches, oranges, and apples are on my list of favorites foods as well.

But, when it comes to hot cereal, especially oatmeal? Hard pass.

I cherish a good cup of coffee and appreciate a soothing cup of tea. And, of course, I can’t forget my love for a good glass of red wine and if I’m feeling adventurous, I might whip up a classic old-fashioned. Cheers to savoring life’s delicious flavors!

Fun fact: I’m a huge New Edition fan! There’s a memorable night when my friends and I discovered they were staying at a hotel in downtown Minneapolis. We snuck in through the parking ramp, navigating the back hallways, and got so close to meeting them! Just as we were filled with excitement, security caught us, and our little adventure came to an end. 

Oh, the nostalgia of the 90s!

So, that’s a little bit about me!

I like to think of myself as a laid-back person, an introvert with some extroverted tendencies. My superpower (as a Libra) is all about balance and comfort; I get along with all types of personalities. 

I know how to read a room, so if you're more on the quiet side, I’ll dial down my extroverted energy to make sure you're comfortable and at ease. On the flip side, if you’re an upbeat, excited extrovert, I’m here to match your vibe as well!

Either way, during your photo session, we’ll have a blast—I promise!

So, when you’re ready, let’s chat and get to know each other better. I can’t wait to help you create those unforgettable moments with your family, kiddos, hubby, or partner. 

Looking forward to meeting you!

Peace & Love, Laeti
