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! I first had the opportunity to meet them last year for Afton's newborn session and immediately fell in love with their sweet little family. Not sure how a whole year has passed already, but Afton is now one!! Be[...]
A few days before I was heading out to California, I got a message from Alyssa, saying her and her family live in the Los Angeles area and would love to have a family session. They recently welcomed their son Leo and hadn’t had family pictures since then. I have known Alyssa since my childhood since we both grew up in the same small town of New Prague, MN, went to [...]
As each year passes, your motherhood roots grow deeper and deeper. “Mother” isn’t just a title you wear; it encompasses the pivotal role you’ll have for a lifetime. I want to tell your family’s story through iconic images that give a glimpse into what motherhood means to you and your children. Let’s capture the small moments worth cherishing in a big, tr[...]
I met Ashley when we attended the same college, and I was a TA in one of her classes. A few years later she introduced me to my now husband Ryan! Last year, we met for tea just a few days before her due date. She mentioned how she really wanted me to photograph the birth of their first child. At the time I had a wedding so I knew I couldn’t commit to being to the birt[...]
If you have been following along for a few years, I am sure you recognize the Whalen family! They have been one of my biggest supports over the years, and I really can’t thank them enough for everything they do for me personally and in business. It’s been a joy seeing them return each year for a session and be able to capture Erin for her story that she shared in the [...]
I have known Candi for a few years now after meeting at a local IF:Gathering. Over the years, I have heard so much about her husband and children, and finally got to meet them this Fall for a session. Candi is a photographer herself so I knew she was going to pick out some great outfits. How cute are her and her daughter matching? Thank you, Powell Family, for bein[...]
I had the privilege of meeting the Hanson family, this fall for a session. How adorable are they? I absolutely love when I get to photograph a new family and get to know them. Cecelia brought so much joy to the session and I couldn’t get enough of her and her spunky personality.
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 kind enough to refer my name to some of her friends that were getting[...]
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. Mason’s brother Jace is such a great big brother. He was a constantly running after Mason, keeping him entert[...]
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 plans. After a few games of skipping rocks and walking in the water we moved our se[...]
