Berry picking in Minnesota

You can’t beat the summers in Minnesota with the sunshine, all the outdoor adventures and extra time outside. One activity that has become a tradition for my girl and I is berry picking in Minnesota summer. From the thrill of the hunt to the sweet reward of fresh berries, it is a must do summer activity.

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 […]

Family picture of mom and dad with newborn baby and toddler in their home.

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 […]

MEET Kristen

I was so excited to be back in my hometown of New Prague to capture the family pictures of this wonderful foursome. I have had the joy of photographing both of their boys’ newborn sessions.  We met on a humid summer evening at Cedar Lake Farms for their family pictures, so they can dressed in […]

I was excited to take these maternity pictures for these soon-to-be-parents as they get ready to welcome their first baby. I got to meet them when they were just 6 weeks shy of welcoming their little one into the world. Such an incredibly happy time.  We had a beautiful Minnesota summer evening at one of […]

These family pictures with twins was so enjoyable! This family of four recently moved to Minnesota from the west coast. I loved the energy they brought to their session, that happened to be just down the road from their new Edina home. I haven’t had the opportunity to do family pictures with twins very often, […]

Late summer family pictures with this sweet toddler was so special to capture. Mom mentioned that this was their first time ever having family pictures. She shared it had been on her to do list for a while and she was so happy she finally booked a session. What an honor to be able to […]

We had the most perfect summer evening at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum for these family pictures. This family of five was just brimming with joy and love throughout our time together. I knew Mallory growing up in grade school, so meeting her whole family for the first time during a perfect summer evening was a […]

It was such a joy getting to photograph these brand new parents for their son’s in-home newborn session. We first connected in the early Spring for a mini maternity session at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. I was excited to come to their Apple Valley home to get these photos of this new family of three. […]

I love capturing summer family photos. So often clients will overlook booking family photos in the summer because of busy schedules. But I think it’s the perfect time. It’s especially fun when it is with this family of five. They have been some of my biggest cheerleaders and supports since starting my business. From engagement, […]

Family photos at Noerenberg Memorial Gardens in Orono, Minnesota provided the perfect backdrop for this joint newborn and family session. The family choose an outdoor setting as they wished for a change from their older son’s in-home newborn photos. I thought it was a great idea. With the unpredictable weather, outdoor newborn sessions aren’t always […]

Spring pictures at the Minnesota Arboretum were a dream come true with this sweet duo. May is always so beautiful at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska. And it is especially breathtaking if you are able to go when the crabapple trees and lilac bushes are blooming. It’s a treat for the eyes but let’s […]

Summer maternity photos with this fantastic family was such a delight.  I was excited that we decided to do this session at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska. This sight is quickly becoming one of my favorite locations for family and maternity photos. There are endless amounts of spots to photograph at and each time […]
