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.

I’m beyond excited to share this Minneapolis studio three month milestone pictures. This little cutie is part of my First Year Collection Collective.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Stephie and I grew up two doors down from one another. The memories I have of us making up gymnastic routines in her basement, playing neighboorhood night games, attending pre-k-12th grade together, having her phone number on speed-dial and trying to keep her nano pet alive are endless. It is safe to say she was […]

Liz and Kyle met a few years ago when Liz recently moved to Minneapolis and was asked by her roommate if she would like to hang out with some friends for the evening. She happily accepted the invite since she didn’t know anyone at the time of her move. That evening Liz and Kyle met […]

Laura and Brian’s Minnesota engagement session this past fall felt much more like summer. We met up at St. Anthony Main in Minneapolis as this is one of their favorite areas and where they reside. I loved exploring, sharing stories, and favorite restaurants in the area. These two are getting married this coming August, and […]

Ashely and Nick spent their college years at Gustavus College, but it wasn’t until a while later that their paths crossed after college. Their love of travel and adventure have taken them to many different states and countries and it was while they were traveling in Italy, that Nick, proposed to Ashley in Tuscany!!! Ashley […]

The winter here in Minnesota sure has been interesting this year. We have had everything from negative degree temps, high winds taking out power, ice, rain and sixty degrees in February! I was really unsure if we were going to get any more snow this year. Teri and Ryan were really hoping for a snowy […]

Angela and Luke’s Minnesota winter engagement session this past weekend was chilly, but one I have been looking forward to for so long. I had the honor of meeting Angela while she was a bridesmaid at one of my friends weddings that I photographed. It was fun to catch up with Angela and Luke since […]

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 […]

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 […]
