Thanks for visiting my page and leaving your footprints. I am a photographer currently based out of St. Paul, Minnesota. Before getting into photography, I was an artist. I respect a lot of photographers/models who can incorporate more than a pretty face into their shots; such as composition, (mood) lighting and story. Great photography will incorporate all of that and more into the picture.

I have a home studio where I shoot (I have lots of empty space) but I prefer to shoot on location as it provides for a more interesting backdrop than a monochrome sheet.

I've always done amateur and professional photography since I was young. I prefer to do art photography but have done glamour, fashion, runway, sports, fitness, commercial, bridal, nude/implied nudes and editorial photography. If you'd like to see my portfolio, feel free to contact me at 651-335-9254 or yagthoj@yahoo.com.

If you have a concept you'd like to make real, I'd love to explore it with you. Or if you just want some basic pictures, I can do that too. TFP shoots are now being accepted on a very limited basis because my portfolio is quite full. Unless you have a look or a concept that would be beneficial to both our portfolios, I would prefer that you paid me to shoot you or your event. Paid work will always take priority over any TFP shoots since bills do need to be paid. Generally, if you want a TFP shoot, you will need to provide a decent MUA.

I'm not currently financed to travel outside of Minnesota, so I won't accept TFP shoots unless it is a paid situation or I have approached you about it myself. The general rule is: You pay me if you approach me. If I approach you, you don't have to pay me (but showing your appreciation through financial means is always aprreciated).
