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 […]

I am a big believer that each anniversary should be celebrated. Whether that is going out to dinner to your favorite restaurant, taking a vacation, or having your anniversary pictures taken, it is worth a celebration. Ashley and Troy traveled to Italy this year right around the same time as me to renew their wedding […]

One of my very dear friends (and fellow photographer) is celebrating a ten year anniversary with her husband this coming February! It has been such an incredible honor getting to know Krista and her family this past year and a half and to document so many milestones in their lives. She and her family have […]

Last Sunday, I met Sami and Jake for their engagement session after having to reschedule due to a big rain storm. This year has been more of a challenge with the rain, nasty mosquitoes, and heavy wind. I am so happy we got the chance to reschedule because it meant we got the first glimpse […]

I have known Megan since middle school. We played volleyball and basketball together. After high school, I didn’t see her much unless it was at a gathering of some mutual friends. I kept up with her on social media and loved to see her posts about her love for photography and graphic design. She was […]

After some back and forth between Ashely and myself via email, I finally got news that baby Afton made her arrival after being over due by more than a week. I was so excited to finally be able to meet Afton and her parents after waiting for so long. When I walked in front door, […]

I met Maria, her mom, and sister at a local coffee shop a few months ago. I loved that Maria brought a few of the closest women in her life along for our meeting. It was so fun learning about Maria and Clay’s wedding plans while getting to know her family members in the process. […]

I am pretty sure Mason is one of the happiest one year olds I have ever met. The minute he spotted me, he gave me the biggest smile. He is a very social little boy with quick little  legs and not one bit camera shy, thanks to his mom who takes a lot of photos. […]

A few weeks ago, I met Kayla and Mike for their engagement session. The couple met while sitting around a friends bonfire and Mike caught Kayla’s eye. He asked one of his friends for Kayla’s phone number and the following week they went on their first date! I loved getting to know Kayla and Mike more […]

I first met Suzanne and her boys years ago when her littlest was just starting to walk! It is so crazy how time flies and how fast these two boys have grown up. We had plans of photographing their whole session on the beach but the twenty four mile per hour winds quickly changed our […]
