After moving out to Baltimore to go to nursing school, Greta met Tim. They were both at a birthday party for a mutual friend and hit it off instantly. The two lived together as friends and roomates even before they started dating, and decided to get married and move back to Greta’s home town of Minneapolis. Along their journey sweet Vera and Liam, twins, were born to the couple! I have the honor and privledge to photograph this amazing wedding next week and can not wait to share more!!
In June I was able to go visit some of my very favorite people to be loved on and love back. These five girls and I lived together our sophomore year in college and they later became some of my closest friends. Together with them and two other units of girls (one living above and one living across the hall) we all became a tight knit group. Through marriage, having children, cancer, losing parents, infertility, losing babies, moving across the country, and the world, having hardships with children, we have been through so much together, and been prayer warriors for one another. God has taught us all how to grow and continue to minister to one another.
Even though we all don’t live close in proximity, we are blessed to have each other sharing in our lives throughout the ups and downs. And now, as we have kiddos, we continue to be able to share in life together. Here is a snippit of some of our kids that spend the weekend with us!!
(My dream would one day get a photo of all the girls and their families together as one big group… Angie can I get you on that?!! xo!)
Happy Monday!! Here are a few sneaks from the week to start you off!
Haven and Jack
Snyder Family
Meet Alice and her little brother Ben. These two, less than 2 years apart, were a joy to photograph. Alice, like the typical toddler, kept me running after her and was interested in every prop I had to offer and was extremely proud of her little brother. At only a few days, Ben’s laid back demeanor shown through as he hardly made a peep through our session! Congrats to Bothe Erin and Tim on these two adorable children, you are blessed!
Part 2 of this awesome included their 18 month old son, Max. He was as sweet as ever and rockin out the bright green suspenders!!
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!
