I am a Minneapolis, MN based portrait photographer, specializing in child and family photography.
Over the years, I have photographed hundreds of kids, families and seniors, many of whom I still see regularly for their photos. It is such a joy to watch families and kids grow up in front of me and to authentically capture all the stages along the way.
Of course, I provide the posed, smile-for-the-camera moments that grandma wants, but what I really live for are the in-between moments of GENUINE expressions and TRUE family connections....the perfectly imperfect details that make up this beautiful mess we call life.
HELLO. I'm Gretchen
NICE TO MEET YOU

"These pictures tell our story and I am so grateful to have these memories. They will forever be cherished."

My family
I started my journey with photography in college and established Wink Photography in 2009. The following year, my husband and I had twin boys, and a daughter followed in 2012. My photography business has grown alongside my children and both bring me endless joy, exhaustion, and meaning in life.
Away from the lens, I am a tea geek, a world traveler, a backyard gardener and a Girl Scout leader. In my free time, you can find me scouring consignment stores, chatting with friends over drinks, exploring a museum, volunteering, canoeing down a quiet river, or heading out to see a production at the local theater.
I feel truly blessed to have a career that allows me creativity and flexibility, while providing meaningful keepsakes for the families I serve. There is no greater honor than to be invited to document your life and your family.
