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 […]

A few weeks ago I go to photograph the Melander family in their home. I have known Lindsay, for a few months as she is one of the teachers at Barre3. It was my first time meeting her family and I knew we were going to have some fun as soon as I walked in […]

Little Levi blessed his family by arriving almost two weeks early. His parents were just a few years younger than me in grade school so it was fun being able to catch up and now see them as parents. Levi was so calm and sweet during his session. I just loved seeing him wide eye […]

Last year, I got to photograph so many wonderful families and mommy + me sessions. I can’t help but capture a handful of portraits of momma’s with their littles as this time is always so fleeting. I am sharing just a few super sweet snuggles, kisses and in-between moments with their babies. I loves all […]

I’ve known Danielle since the middle school! We spent many of our later years of high school, college and post college together in the same group of friends. I have loved growing in so many different seasons of life along side one another. I have had the joy of capturing Danielle and Brian’s engagement, wedding, […]

I have had the privilege of photographing my dear friend and her family in so many different seasons of their lives. A maternity session, the birth of their little boy, motherhood, newborn, family, and an in-home session. Each and every single one of these sessions have been so special, but this last session in their […]

This past week marked two years since I have been taking classes at my local Barre3. I have also had the honor of photographing for their studio during this time. When I was introduced to them they were in the beginning phases of offering classes at different locations in the area to build their community. […]

I have known Melanie for years. In fact we went to the same private grade school growing up and her mom was my kindergarten teacher! A few years ago I had the honor of photograph her sister’s family in California and got to little update on the whole family. It was a joy getting to […]

This past Fall, when I got an email from Carissa, asking me if I would be willing to travel to Chicago for their engagement session, I don’t think I could say ‘yes’ fast enough. I love Chicago and couldn’t wait to explore the city with Carissa and Alec. Carissa and Alec have known each other […]

I am so excited to share with you little Melanie’s in-home session. This was such a special session as Melanie just turned six months a few weeks prior. I love this stage as their little personality and curiosity come out more and more. We sat on the floor of her nursery room and enjoyed watching […]

From the emails and Facetime meeting I was able to have with Katie and Tom I was incredibly excited to finally meet them in person. We met in Wayzata on Lake Minnetonka as this is where they got engaged! It was so cold, extremely windy and misting during their entire session. The two of them […]
