As a family photographer in the Minneapolis and Edina areas, I often hear from parents is, “How do I get my kids to cooperate during the session?” The truth is, kids are naturally full of energy, curious, and are unpredictible.

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 […]

Family sessions are so special. Yes, it takes a lot of work at times to prepare for a session especially if there are little ones involved! But these times are fleeting and I feel such delight at documenting those moments. This past year, I was able to capture so many growing families at different times […]

We have been lucky to have such a beautiful fall here in Minneapolis this year. There are still some yellow, red, and orange leaves hanging on. I am not complaining about the sixty degree temps we have been having in the beginning of November either. The Lunieski family and I had a fun fall evening […]
