Minnetonka Maternity Session:: Diedrick Family

Spring has sprung, and along with it so many babies! I love this time of the year and seeing so many new little lives coming into the world into so many new families. The Diedrick family is no exception. I had the honor of photographing their first sweet girl as a newborn and toddler. As they welcome their second baby, I am so thrilled to be able to photograph him as well.

For Emily’s maternity session, she chose to be at her home. We had a beautiful spring day and the sun was shining and beautiful as we documented the waiting of this new little one to be born.

I simply can not wait to see them again in a few weeks and meet this little man. Congratulations Diedrick’s!!

Downtown Wayzata:: Summer Extended Family

Oh how the lovely Hodepp family makes me smile! They are some of the kindest people you will ever encounter. I have been so incredibly blessed to photograph Maddie and Billy’s wedding and now their entire family as they welcomed their daughter to the family this year. In so many ways I hope my children grow up and model the Hodepp children.

We were watching the radar all day in hopes that the rain would hold off, and miraculously it did. Our session took place along the beautiful Lake Minnetonka and around the Wayzata Depot. Because of the ify weather, we didn’t have to deal with many people in the area and the dark clouds created a perfect backdrop for the Hodepp family to shine.

We found one patch of flowers that were still in bloom and out of the wind which made for some of the best photos of the evening. What a joy it was to see this family again. I can’t wait to continue to see them grow!

Minneapolis Studio Family Session:: Sachs Family

I have been photographing the Sachs family since they were engaged and married. Steve and Gina brought their oldest home and we did a few milestone sessions and last year they welcomed a sweet baby girl to the family! We documented her newborn session in her home and then her six month milestone in the summer.

In February, this little girl turned one. I loved the props that Gina brought… balloons, stackable blocks, a cake and of course, a tutu!

We ended this Minneapolis studio session with a highly anticipated cake smash that was devoured by both this sweet one year old and her big brother. And we could not have left the session without cake filled hands to wash and kiss! It is always a blessing to see Steve and Gina and can’t wait to see more of them this year!

Cottage Grove Newborn Session:: Declan

Oh how I love seeing sweet babies and clients! Molly and Mike were married in 2018, and I loved shooting their winter engagement session and then their summer wedding. After spending so much time with them, I felt like we had been friends for so long.

When Molly emailed to say they were expecting and looking for newborn photos, I was so excited to be able to see this incredible couple again. Sweet Declan arrived and was such an easy baby to photograph. My heart was bursting as he slept through almost the entire session. Molly chose to do most of his photos in his nursery which was decorated with neutral wooden materials. She also chose some of the cutest outfits for him which were also neutral to fit his decor.

I look forward to seeing this family again as Declan grows, congratulations Molly and Mike!

Maple Grove Maternity Session:: Aslesen Family

One of my greatest joys as a photographer is to continue to see clients throughout the years and watch their families grow. Emily and Neal have become friends and as they continue to grow their family, I LOVE seeing them.

At our last session, Emily told me they were expecting and we all jumped for joy when they found out that baby GIRL was going to make her arrival this spring. The past few maternity sessions with the Asleson’s have been a blast and when Emily asked if we could stay close to home, we we lucky enough to find this marshy area right behind their Maple Grove home.

After a week of negative temps, it was such a gift to have a day almost in the 40’s and little to no wind. We all stayed relatively warm for a February day and Emily’s beautiful blush dress was the perfect accent to the snow and gold grasses. I simply can not wait to see this family again and see how these boys are such wonderful big brothers to their little sister!
