I first met Maddie + Noah ON their wedding day! We had of course met on the phone prior to it, but they were a west coast couple, bringing their east coast and midwest family together in the great state of Minnesota. Despite the clouds, it was the most beautiful and bright day, filled with […]

We all remember last fall in Minneapolis was pretty close to perfection, and Allie + Dylan’s engagement day was one of the most beautiful. We got sunshine and fall foliage and had such a great time hanging around St. Anthony Main. I cannot wait to be part of their day this next fall, and crossing […]

On these cold January days in Minnesota, it only seems appropriate to look back on the warmest wedding days from last year! And when I say warmest, I mean May in Mexico for Katie + Jim’s wedding. The wedding took place down in Tulum at the Conrad Hotel, which-side note to those looking for a […]

At the beginning of the year, I did a give-away for five families to win a session with me…the session would be outside the norm of a “regular” family session, where the goal is to focus on the uniqueness of each family-what they love to do together and what makes them them on their day […]

It’s not often I get to be part of proposals, and is probably something most people don’t know I take photos of….well, let these photos be a “hint-hint” that I do in fact take photos and absolutely love capturing these moments!! Michael + Savannah got engaged on Summit Ave and YEAH, I WAS crying behind […]

I met Carrie + Zach last fall at Milly’s Wine Bar, and it was an instant connection. We sat for hours chatting about life, how they met and fell and love, and their vision for their wedding this upcoming May at Bavaria Downs. Their engagement session at Maison Margaux was just as enjoyable, if not […]

Stephen posted a couple of photos from their session and his caption was “the good ol days” and it was such a simple phrase that holds so much beauty in it. You all know I love getting classic posed smiles for you, but my hope is that you can look back on photos and have […]

Give me jewel tones and disco balls all day every day please! Rebecca + Jeff had the most incredible and sparkling day this last October. Surrounded by their amazing family and friends, and a dream-come-true guest artist (hellogoodbye), their day was full of love, joy and a whole lot of fun during the reception. So […]

Minnesota is always a wild card when it comes to fall weddings, and I’m pretty sure Kaycie + Brendan weren’t expecting their end-of-September wedding being a swampy 90 degrees, but alas-we were all proved wrong 😉 Regardless of the temps, it was still an amazing and beautiful day with these two, and North Oaks Golf […]

I’ve known Quinn + Dave since middle school, so this day was extra special….it may have been about 100 degrees, but that didn’t stop them from soaking up the sun and getting photos before their wedding ceremony at Cafe Lurcat! They celebrated their day with 25 of their closest friends and family, and I loved […]

One perfect golden hour + one beautiful couple + one cute pup = the most magical engagement session. Add the city of Minneapolis in the mix, where Neel + Aliena first began dating, and it was the best time capturing them together. I can’t wait to be part of their day this summer!
