Amanda and I grew up playing softball, attending gymnastics, and walk alongside each other in high school. I have so many memories from our early days of childhood and high school together, but seeing her raise her daughter Lacey from afar brings a new set of sweet memories.
Amanda and her daughter Lacey made the trek from Milwaukee, WI for a visit back to Minnesota. During their visit, we were able to catch up since she welcomed Lacey into their family and capture a few portraits. I loved watching her care for her sweet daughter so tenderly and how Lacey would give her the biggest smiles when she would talk to her. I am excited to share a few personal favorites from their session.
