Newborn photos with dog

I’m so excited to share this sweet in-home newborn session in Saint Paul on today’s blog! This in-home newborn session with a dog was so much fun. Not only did I get to meet a wonderful, easygoing couple, but I got to capture them as first-time parents to a sweet baby girl. This morning session […]

For years, I always wanted to be a ‘reader’. But making the space and time to read wasn’t a big priority in my day. Finally, about five years ago, I set a goal to read 10 books in the year. I quickly surpassed my goal and started a small book club with some girlfriends, leading […]

These timeless in-home newborn photos are one I’ve been so excited to share. On a quiet and bright morning, I arrived at their south Minneapolis for this newborn session. I love being able to capture families in the comfort of their own home and where they feel like themselves most. Especially after welcoming a little […]

Getting to capture this outdoor family picture session was such a treat. This sweet little session is part of my First Year Collection Collective with this family of three. This was my second session with his family which took place at the beautiful Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chanhassen. His first session was during the cold […]

I’m beyond excited to share this Minneapolis studio three month milestone pictures. This little cutie is part of my First Year Collection Collective. This was session number two (of three within the collective) to capture her three month milestone pictures. It’s always special when the entire family can join in on the fun as they […]

These newborn family pictures were such a joy. This was my fourth session with this sweet family. It is always such an honor to be able to capture a family year after year and for big milestones. My latest session with them was for their second son’s in-home family newborn pictures. It brought back so […]

My cousin Lindsay and her family flew into Minnesota a few weeks ago to visit family. While they were in town, I had the pleasure of watching her son Owen and having the family stay overnight!  The last time I saw the two of them, he was only a month old. I posted an earlier […]

Tyler and Lauren had a gorgeous Saturday afternoon wedding. It was all about the delicate details–from their ceremony tucked away in a tiny church set in a true Midwestern corn-filled field to the simplicity of their decorations. We enjoyed driving the windy roads of Hanska, MN to find the perfect spot for their bride and groom portraits. […]

Rachel and I have known each other since elementary school. We grew up together and I have the best childhood memories of playing tennis, rollerblading, and talking about boys with her. During college, Rachel and I didn’t see each other much, but when we did, we always spent hours catching up over breakfast and tea. […]

The end of last October couldn’t come fast enough for our all girls weekend trip to meet the newest family members. Half of us hopped on a plane and the other half took the long drive to Colorado to welcome Owen to the family. We all arrived shortly after one another and immediately started snuggling, […]

The three of us plus their dog Willy went out for an early morning sunrise session in Loveland, CO. The morning was […]
