The Goodwins are just the sweetest and most adorable family.  I have had the privilege of photographing their family in the past but this was the first time I got to meet their little sweet girl. It is safe to say she enjoys having four older brothers who adore her. During the session, they would […]

I am pretty sure Mason is one of the happiest one year olds I have ever met. The minute he spotted me, he gave me the biggest smile. He is a very social little boy with quick little  legs and not one bit camera shy, thanks to his mom who takes a lot of photos. […]

A few weeks ago, I photographed Mother’s Day mini sessions. At my first session, I had the honor of meeting Jacqueline and her 6 month old daughter Ellie. Jacqueline entered my Mother’s Day giveaway on Instagram and won a free session! I learned that she is the owner of Birch Hill Barn. I knew of […]

It has been an honor to be able to document so many memories for my friend Krista and her family. Last year, I was able to spend a warm summer evening with just her and her girls. At this time, she was pregnant, but didn’t know. It is now an even sweeter memory knowing that […]

I had the honor of meeting the Mezzenga family last Sunday after one my of dear friends came down with a cold and was unable to photograph their newest addition. The minute I walked in the door, I was greeted with the biggest welcome by an excited toddler which was such a charming start for […]

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 […]

It has been such a treat to watch the Friedrich family grow over the past couple of years and to meet their extended family members. I met Carl and Alexis over four years ago, when it was just the two of them. Their family has grown since then and I am so thankful that I […]

I can’t believe Owen is already nine months old. It feels like we just made our girls family weekend trip out to Colorado to meet him. He is already so much more mobile and talkative than his last visit to Minnesota just a few weeks ago. I have loved being able to see him and his parents […]

  I first photographed the Rose family about a year ago.  At that time, there were just three of them. I had the opportunity to go to their home a few weeks ago to meet the newest addition to the family, Madalyn.  Madalyn was just nine days old. She was absolutely perfect. She slept just about […]
