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 […]

Greta and I have known each other for a very long time. We grew up in the same neighborhood for a few years until her family moved just a few short miles away. Our families then began to carpool to pre-k together, playdates and sleepovers would happen often. Some of my favorite childhood memories happened […]

Raquel and Nick asked if we could start their session at their home in St.Paul. I was beyond thrilled when they invited me into the backyard because it so beautiful, relaxing and charming. It was the perfect backdrop for a warm summer evening. The two of them recently adopted their pup Rosie so of course […]

Being welcomed into Boden’s (Bode) home was such a sweet reunion into being able to photograph again. Bode was born in the middle of COVID and welcomed by his sweet parents- Annie & Matt.  As being first time parents, bring home a little one during a pandemic and not being able to have grandparents, family […]

Despite all the changes and not being able to have their big wedding reception Josie and Matt, still wanted to get married on their original wedding date they planned for. Their wedding took place in the backyard of Matt’s parents home with their immediate families. It was an absolutely perfect and relaxing afternoon filled with […]

I have been photographing Logan since the day he was born! I had the privilege of being in the OR room when he was born! It has been such a joy watching him grow up over the years and photographing so many milestones. Loved this morning session of him and his mama!

The number one question I get when clients book a session is ‘what should we wear?’ Today, I am sharing what clothing and colors pair well together.  Mood Collage Say yes to the dress! Dresses are really flattering and photograph very well. Long, full-length dresses bring beautiful movement to the photos and make it easy […]

My friend Jacqueline from Collected & Co. was in the studio last month with her girls and some of her beautiful rentals. We did a little session to showcase my Mommy + Me Mother’s Day sessions that were to take place in the studio next month. However, with COVID and to keep everyone protected they […]

 I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy. I know this time is hard and can feel difficult but I wanted to express my gratitude for being here. Thank you for following along, sending messages of encouragement and checking in. I have been thinking of all my families and wedding clients during […]

Tyler, and I have known each other ever since pre-k! We grow up in a tight  knit neighborhood right out of town where a group of us would bounce around from house to house daily. We would often end up at Tyler’s house cause he was one of the select neighbors with a trampoline! It […]

I was so excited to meet baby Henley and see this sweet family. Danielle and I met in high school and continue to see each other and catch up during our monthly girls nights. However, these have gotten harder to schedule as us momma’s have officially been outnumbered with all the babies and kids. Danielle […]
