I have to tell you, this weekend was incredibly emotional for me. Not only was I incredibly blessed to hang out for 24 hours with my college girlfriends and connect with them, hear their stories and what they have been through in life, I also visited one of my best friends from high school and photographed her miracle baby. In addition I photographed a daddy returning home to his family after months serving our country. My heart is incredibly full!
I just adore this family. It has been awesome to see Jeana throughout the course of this year as her little Easton grows up. Only a few days after he was born, his daddy shipped out to go overseas with the National Guard. Throughout the year they have been waiting for his return, and thankfully he will be home soon! I can’t wait for this sweet family to be reunited again and I will be able to photograph them, again, as a family of four!!
The days I get to see past clients turned friends are good one’s. The Klingen Family feels like family to me. I have known Shannon since she was in high school and we shot their wedding out in New York a few years back. Being back in Minneapolis and being able to see them more, brings my heart happiness. When they asked if I would photograph their newest addition, I was thrilled, and even more thrilled with the way their 2 year old took care of her brand new baby sister!!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL
A fresh day with a fresh baby. My morning was complete after I was able to photograph this sweet darling doll. She was a gem and slept through the entire session. I am sure she will continue to be this easy for her momma being the youngest of 3!!
I just love moments between mommies and their sons. One of my favorites from this weekend’s session!
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
