Hi! I’m Maggie Ostendorf - the face, passion, and creator behind The Grounded Haven Company; where your brand and memories find their home, safe space - their haven. Grounded on faith while founded on passion with a whole lot of grace and coffee. I’m from southwestern North Dakota and South Dakota border jumper, where I was born and raised on a farm / ranch.
The Grounded Haven Co. is taking a big leap of faith for a small town, big ambition gal, who knows that God always provides when we turn to Him in all endeavors. Expressing my faith through my actions, words, and work while still fulfilling every person’s need and desires meanwhile spreading the steadfast love of God, will always be my true passion. My creative objective is to always meet the branding, design, and photographic needs of my clients. For those looking to build, launch, and improve their business visions and aspirations; or those looking to capture everlasting moments in time, that some how seem to slip away just a little too fast.

I am a passionate lifestyle photographer who specializes in in families, seniors, weddings, and maternity, along with engagements, newborns, and milestones. Storytelling and documenting connections with genuine emotions are so important for me as a photographer. I strive to capture traditional portraits with a fun twist of the candid, in-between moments to best showcase my clients true personalities and my love for laughter and soaking in every small moment in life. If you swoon natural light, candid life stories, a comfortable setting with plenty of fun— you’re going to feel right at home!

I'm so blessed
you're here!
