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 […]

I would have to say that Afton has the best and most contagious smile. She was so happy and smiley the whole evening. I just adore this family so much!

Clay and Maria’s ceremony at Our Lade of Victory Chapel in St.Paul, MN with a reception to follow at The Depot in Minneapolis was one I had been looking forward to for so long. I knew it was going to be gorgeous and so well thought out with every detail. With the help of Maria’s […]

I initially met Ashley & Troy last summer when they asked me to photograph their 10-year anniversary session. During the session as we were talking, we found out that we both were going to be attending a photographers conference in Arizona that fall. I got to know Troy & Ashley a little more during the […]

Last month, we traveled to California for a little getaway and some much-needed sunshine at the time. Our favorite way to travel is by researching and finding an Airbnb in the area that we are visiting. We planned on going to Palm Springs for a portion of our trip, and we knew this was going […]
