I simply can not wait to see what details Kelly and Ryan pull out for their September wedding day. Their engagement session was full of them! I love watching the two get feisty in a game of connect four, run along Lake Calhoun with their pups, and snuggle over a backyard fire with s’mores! I know whatever they do will be completely fabulous!
The were friends. That’s it… but maybe a little more. Scott made Kristen just laugh. He made her kids laugh, and they loved being around each other. Eventually the relationship turned and the two were dating, and then came the question! I can’t wait to photograph these two in October. I know their day will be just as spectacular as they are!
Such a great week filled with meetings and shoots, here are some sneaks from the week! Happy Monday!
Kelly & Ryan
Max- 9 months
Her cousin asked her to hang out, Amy agreed not knowing that her life would be altered in am incredible way. It was there that she met Ethan. Extremely funny, kind-hearted and a love for the Disney them parks, he had Amy’s attention. Heading home she wondered what that was all about and the next day Ethan sent her a random friend request on Facebook. They chatted casually there and decided to try a first date. Fast forward two years to February 2012.
The couple headed out on vacation with Amy’s family to Disney World. After a day of rides, family time, and tired legs, Amy and Ethan took a break in front of Amy’s favorite spots… the Cinderella Castle. Knowing that this was the perfect time, Ethan dropped to one knee as Amy’s jaw dropped. He slipped the ring on as she declared “YES!”
Since Ethan is from a rural town and works for John Deer, we decided to incorporate a field, and of course his green hat and Amy’s ears into a few shots. It was a blast getting to know them, and I can’t wait to share their September wedding with them!
LOVE! this session! Ethan and Amy were wonderful to hang out with! (although I probably scared them a few times with my overjoyed shreeks!!) I can’t wait to celebrate their marraige with them in September!
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!
