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 […]

After our last styled shoot in January, Shasta and I were ready to dream up some other fun collaborations. We love this time of year because the wedding season is slower and we can spend more time creating and learning. This styled shoot was centered around the idea of a bachelorette gathering. Shasta offers calligraphy […]

I first had the opportunity to photograph Krista last summer with her daughters for a motherhood series that turned out so sweet. She is the loveliest and most engaged momma with her girls. I have loved spending time with Krista this year. Krista and Jason will be welcoming their third little one into the family […]

Natural light is an important part of my vision for my photography. On a wedding day, I will enter the bride’s getting ready room and I immediately begin to look for a window that is providing natural light. This light is generally even, indirect, and soft. I find that this situation offers the best light […]

I had the honor of meeting the Mezzenga family last Sunday after one my of dear friends came down with a cold and was unable to photograph their newest addition. The minute I walked in the door, I was greeted with the biggest welcome by an excited toddler which was such a charming start for […]

On Saturday, I had the incredible honor of photographing Kate and Matt’s wedding at the Uppercut Boxing Gym in Northeast Minneapolis. We couldn’t complain with the forty degree weather we got to work with at the end of January! They were surrounded by one of the largest wedding parties I have every photographed, and it was […]
