It was the most perfect, hot, summer night when I met Sara and Paul out in Minnetonka. The greens were perfectly green, and it felt like we had the whole park and lake to ourselves. Sara grew up on the water, so it only made sense to capture these two on Minnetonka, where they spend […]

It’s not often I get to photograph the wedding of two people who’s first “meet” I was at. Davie is one of my best friends from college, and Abby was a friend from work via a few of our college friends. In 2018, we had an Olympic party they were both invited too, and…the rest […]

Well, it’s safe to say it was the perfect May wedding with Emily + Sean at The Minikahda Club in Minneapolis. Emily and Sean were one of the couples who moved their wedding day multiple times due to Covid, so when it came together-it was just the most bright and beautiful celebration. With 85 of […]

It’s safe to say, I was smiling the ENTIRE time I was with this sweet family. They just welcomed baby Owen to their crew, and his older siblings couldn’t be more happy. They loved smiling at him, loved loving on him, and their smiles melted my heart. What I love most is the thought of […]

The Reilly family welcomed sweet little Delaney last month, and it’s safe to say the whole family is thrilled-especially her big brother Liam!! So much joy and sweetness between the two, and I loved capturing the growth of their family. I of course had to get a portrait (or two) of their English Bulldog Oxford, […]

My favorite kind of sessions are the ones where I forget we’re there to actually take photos, and that was the exact case with these two. The first time I met Abby and Aaron was at their maternity session, and I think we were thirty minutes in before we snapped back into reality of taking […]

I started taking photos for the Moyer family when they moved back from New York, and their now oldest Murphy was only a few months old. Since then, I’ve had the extreme honor of taking photos for Maude’s newborn, and moments in between-all leading up to Robert’s newborn in their new house at the beginning […]

I met Rachel at the end of 2019, and I knew we were destined to work together. Our coffee date felt like old friends meeting, and with her impeccable style and taste-I had a feeling her and Ben’s wedding day would be beautiful. Welp, I was dead wrong because beautiful isn’t a strong enough word […]

August 9th was one of my first weddings of 2020-and it was beautiful. Like most 2020 couples, Maria + Jake were amazing and had such great attitudes as they were forced to make major changes and shifts to their day. The vendors they teamed up with put together such a beautiful day, that was complimented […]

It’s hard to know where to begin when reflecting back on 2020…it goes without saying it was a hard year, but I also want to be able to reflect on the positive impact from all the changes it brought. While a lot of people made the shift to working from home, I honestly felt like […]

We started at their beautiful home out in Hanover, and ventured through the small town downtown, stopped for a delicious beverage, and finished at their beautiful church. It was hot, and it was humid-but these two were amazing troopers and still cozied up to each other despite the heat. Summer sessions are just my favorite, […]

Fun fact, I started at Bethel as an art major. But alas, I learned early on that photography was the route I wanted to take, and was actually pretty horrible at drawing, painting, graphic design-aka-anything besides taking photos. SO! I made it my minor and switched to communication, but the whole point of my undergraduate […]
