gently caught
in natural light.

Sessions on location, in the outfits that feel most like you. Relaxed, natural, and finished with a full digital gallery.
03 — All Together
Family Sessions

About Bucklemint Fields
Photography made outside, for the way you actually are.
Bucklemint Fields is a Minnesota-based photography studio without walls. No backdrops, no fluorescent lights, no stiff posing — just natural light, open fields, and the settings you already love.
The work is built on trust. Athletes shooting mid-motion, seniors stepping into their next chapter, families who just want a picture everyone actually likes. Each session ends with a full digital gallery you keep forever.
Meet the Photographer
Hi, I'm Jessica.
I'm a part-time dental hygienist and a full-time picture-taker at heart. It started on the sidelines of my own kids' games — the more competitively they played, the more I found myself with a camera in my hand — and I fell in love with action photography.
These days I spend most weekends outside, chasing golden hour with seniors, families, and athletes. I'm pretty laid back, I love to joke around, and I'll do everything I can to make you comfortable in front of the lens.
Some dogs are surprisingly photogenic. Bring the dog.
"The best pictures happen when nobody's really posing."
— Jessica Romero, Bucklemint Fields
