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. 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 […]

I’m beyond excited to share this Minneapolis studio three month milestone pictures. This little cutie is part of my First Year Collection Collective. This was session number two (of three within the collective) to capture her three month milestone pictures. It’s always special when the entire family can join in on the fun as they […]

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 […]

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 […]

I got to meet the Knutson family in Edina, MN at the beautiful Arneson Acre park. Arneson Acre park is one of my favorite locations to photograph at and even during each season we get in Minnesota. I especially love it during the Spring time because the park has a few trees that offer the […]

“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” -Agatha Christie It has been a joy to watch my friends raise their children these past couple of years. Many of them […]

Minneapolis St.Paul family photos in home by Kristen Dyer

I met Kathryn while photographing a wedding last year. She and two other ladies run a wedding and event planning business in Minneapolis called Paperwhite Weddings and Events. They have a strong love for eucalyptus, neutral tones, and greens just like myself so I knew we were going to get along just great. 😉 We […]

I met Laura last spring at a photographers’ workshop and heard that she was having twins! I was thrilled for her and her growing family. Unfortunately, our paths didn’t cross for the rest of her pregnancy. I was so surprised to see her at my friend’s calligraphy class. It was fun to hear about her transition […]

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 […]

I’m so excited to be sharing Eric and Katie’s Engagement Session on the blog today! These two will be getting married next Oct. at Canon River Winery. They wanted to change up the feel of their engagement session from their wedding so we choose a downtown Minneapolis location. Eric and Katie met while working at […]

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 […]

A few weeks ago, I was able to spend the evening with Krista, and her daughters. Not only is Krista, an amazing mom, to her sweet daughters, but is also a photographer. She was generous enough to let me in on some of her favorite spots to photograph at down by her studio. We had […]
