Minneapolis Divorce Mediator | Mikki

Divorce isn't just a legal process. It’s a financial decision-making process, a relationship transition and a deeply human experience, all at once.

That’s where Mikki’s work stands out.

As a family mediator and divorce finance professional (CDFA®), Mikki founded Great River Mediations to help courageous people navigate divorce privately and stay out of court as much as possible.

She understands that divorce can be a traumatic life event. People may be grieving the loss of their marriage and the future they imagined while facing one of the largest financial transactions of their lives.

Mikki's strength is bringing together two sides of divorce that are often treated separately: the numbers and the people behind them.

Outside of the office, you’ll find her playing pickleball, dancing or walking her big pup, Pops.

Minneapolis Non-Profit Leader Headshot | Jenna

After decades in corporate marketing, and helping her husband run his businesses, Jenna is embracing a new chapter — one centered around what matters most for her. 

“I serve Jesus and my family."  

Jenna has a natural gift for connection. She loves finding that one thing people have in common, the thread that brings two people together and turns a conversation into a relationship.

Her warmth and genuine spirit came through beautifully during her photoshoot. Even the details she chose to bring had meaning: an anchor necklace honoring her late husband and the lake businesses they owned, and a cross necklace representing her faith.

Faith isn’t just something she wears, she puts it into action. This summer, Jenna traveled to Guatemala on a church mission trip where she helped build houses to break the cycle of poverty for families in need. 

When she’s not connecting with people, you’ll find her serving at her church, and and on the board of the non-profit Every Meal, playing pickleball, and spending time with her golden doodle, Rosie and her family and friends. 

Minneapolis Accountant Headshot | Terri

Terri brings energy, optimism, and a practical approach to everything she does.

As an accountant and integrator, she works with visionary entrepreneurs and businesses to get their financials running smoothly so they can focus on their bigger goals.

Terri brings that same drive to life outside of work. She recently completed a triathlon, is training for a 10-mile race this fall, and still finds plenty of time to cheer on the Minnesota Twins and spend time with her family which includes five children and two grandchildren.

It was a pleasure having Terri in the studio for an updated headshot.   She is proof that being good with numbers and being full of life are not mutually exclusive.

Minneapolis Attorney Headshot | Norm

As a skilled trial attorney, Norm helps companies navigate high-risk litigation and corporate crises around the world.

Norm also serves as president of the Hennepin County Bar Association, supporting the local legal community and advancing the profession through education and engagement.

Outside the office, you’ll find Norm with his family whether they’re traveling (they recently took an RV trip out west), playing sports, watching movies (his must-see list includes Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Sandlot), or enjoying music (Norm and his son play drums).

It was a pleasure to photograph a leader whose professional life is built on focus and advocacy, and whose life outside of work is filled with family and adventure.

Minneapolis Attorney Headshot | Racey

From the courtroom to the classroom, Racey is the definition of a purpose-driven leader.

As president of the Ramsey County Bar Association, Racey helps guide a thriving legal community while also serving as a partner at McEllistrem, Fargione, Rorvig and Moe, where he focuses on personal injury law.

He also invests in the next generation of attorneys by teaching personal injury to law students.

It was a pleasure photographing Racey and being reminded that strong leadership is not just about professional excellence, but about showing up fully in every part of life.

Before pursuing his dream of becoming a pilot, Ian built a career as a revenue and strategy leader in commercial real estate.  Now he’s channeling that same focus, discipline, and vision into aviation.

Caden is a translational researcher and aspiring physician with a mission that reaches far beyond the lab.

At the Masonic Cancer Center, his work focuses on developing next-generation cancer therapies by harnessing immune cells to enhance their ability to recognize, persist, and ultimately eliminate cancer.

What makes his story even more powerful is the heart behind it: Caden’s passion for life sciences was deeply shaped by his brother’s battle with kidney cancer.  

It was a pleasure to take Caden’s headshot at my studio as he embarks on the next chapter of his career. 

Beyond work, Caden enjoys wakeboarding, snowboarding, and mixed martial arts. Fun fact — he can deliver an impressively accurate Conor McGregor impersonation, complete with the Irish accent! 

Minneapolis Esthetician Headshot | Lily

Freshly graduated from the Aveda Institute, Lily brings heart and curiosity to her work as an esthetician.  She blends a genuine love of people with a deep interest in the science of skincare.

What stood out most during her headshot session was the way Lily talks about her work: she said “touch is healing”.  That belief is woven into everything she does, creating an experience that is empowering and restorative for her clients.

When she’s not caring for skin and helping others feel their best, she enjoys being outside, snowboarding, playing guitar, and drawing.
