Each year, I get to photograph new and growing families, and it is the best thing ever. Sweet little Hazel is about to become a big sister, and I was so happy to capture some of the last moments Renee and Brian have with her before baby number two joins the party. If the new […]

I never tire of newborn sessions-can you tell?? Moments like these-especially in times like these, when we take a few minutes to pause, reflect, and soak in the time we have together as families are something to be cherished. The gift of new life is especially precious during this time, and I will never take […]

June 29 may have been one of the hottest days of the summer, but Katherine + Stuart made it through flawlessly-and of course, with a side of air-conditioning. The two were married at the beautiful Basilica in downtown Minneapolis, and their reception took place at the stunning venue of Woodhill Country Club. It was such […]

Safe to say the biggest cure for winter doldrums is taking photos of fresh babies-especially when that baby belongs to one of your close friends.

One of my favorite things about my jobs are the people I meet, the connections I make, and the places it brings me. I met Kristen + Steve through Steve’s brother and sister-in-law at their wedding a few years back, and was thrilled when they asked me to come to Chicago and capture their beautiful […]

It is impossible to put into words what this last year meant to me…photographing over 90 families, I can’t even believe it. What a gift to be able to photograph so many sweet families, sweet moments, and answers to prayer. Thank you all so much for allowing me in your homes, meeting me at parks, […]

I don’t think I will ever tire of newborn sessions, and my time spent with Amy, Michael and their sweet Quinn is no exception to that rule. I think she slept the entire time, and although we passed her back and forth, up and down and all around, she loved being snuggled in her parents […]

If there is a definition of “picture perfect August wedding day,” Krista + Jake’s wedding would fit the mold. The sun was shining, it was the perfect temperature, and these two were surrounded by an incredible army of friends and family. We wandered the streets of St. Anthony Main, and made our way over to […]

When Kelsey + Paul told me about their wedding day, I was instantly in love with their vision. After initial plans for a large wedding, these two realized something small and intimate was more suited for who they are and what they truly wanted for their day. Attended only by immediate family, the ceremony was […]

This was such a special session with Sara, Dave and their two boys Henry and Silas. These two have created such a strong, love-filled home and are instilling deep faith into these little boys. Silas is an incredible answer to prayer, and a testament to God’s hand in our lives life. This is why I […]

I met these two just over a year ago at Lynhall and knew in an instant we had a good thing going. Kelsey + Mike are some of the kindest people I have ever met, with the sweetest hearts for their family and friends-and especially one another. Their wedding at the end of May at […]

Well, it’s safe to say summer is here, and my night at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with Stephen + Elle was absolutely perfect. Pure sunshine, no humidity, no bugs and essentially just the three of us in the entire park, it was incredible. I get a lot of couples telling me that they are super […]
