Welcome to Shoot For Joy Photography

Hi, I’m Sierra!

I’m a passionate photographer who believes that every moment, big or small, tells a story worth capturing. .

Whether it’s a golden sunset, a joyful celebration, or the quiet beauty of everyday life, I specialize in working with natural light and authentic emotions to create timeless images.

Based in Minneapolis, MN, I feel lucky to work with amazing clients who trust me to capture their unique stories. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hanging out with my son, reading all the books and working on all of my native beading projects!

With a passion for storytelling through imagery, I began my journey as a photographer with a Nikon film camera. What started as a hobby quickly blossomed into a lifelong pursuit to capture the joy in life's most cherished celebrations. Over the years, I have honed my craft in weddings, family portraits, senior year engagements, and more, capturing the candid moments and heartfelt emotions that define each unique story.

My approach is rooted in professionalism and authenticity, ensuring that every photograph reflects the genuine emotions of the day. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable and at ease, allowing their true selves to shine through. Whether it's the laughter shared among family members, the loving gazes exchanged between partners, or the proud smiles of graduates, my goal is to encapsulate these fleeting moments for you to treasure forever.

As a photographer, I believe that every picture tells a story, and I am dedicated to preserving those tales through stunning visuals. Let’s work together to create a beautiful collection of memories that celebrate the joy in your life’s special moments.
