Seems like time passes by so quickly, it seems like I just saw my two high school friends, Kim and Kristine, but it has already been a year! Since then they both have moved out of state, but we are making it a tradition of June photo sessions together! I was able to see these two wonderful friends and their children last year and again this summer. It was a perfect day for photos, and a perfect day to see how their sweet children have grown. Looking forward to many more June sessions!!
I was captivated by them. This family that loved and laughed, and ran a lot!! It was great to see Gen and her family again for the short and sweet sessions in May. I am thankful to be able to watch kids grow and change, as they years go by. 
I met the Linders last year in early spring when they had their first little one, Sophia. Her dark brown eyes captured me then, and now her baby sister’s bright blue eyes have captured me! Aubrey is just the sweetest little baby. I was so glad to be able to see the Linder’s again this spring and photograph their newest member of the family!
Ruth and I met in our daughter’s music class and 2 years ago I was able to photograph their family. Since they have added another little one to their family, the Short and Sweet session was perfect to get a new family photo taken. I loved seeing them again and can’t wait to watch their family grow!
When one of my good friends, Sarah, called me to tell me her news, I probably did just about what everyone else did. “Your having TWINS???!!!”
Now I think just about anyone would flip if they found out this fantastic news, but for Sarah and Phil, double flips were in line. They were already adding to their 3 other children, 2 of whom are almost 2 year old twins and their daughter who had just turned 4! Now heads really turned and when Sarah was introduced to her Mom’s group at church, just about everyone gasped when they heard she was expecting 2 babies and would have 5 under 4! ( I think a mom blog may be in order Sarah…) I am prone to think I would gasp too, but Sarah is one of the most laid back, down to earth, wonderful mom’s I know. She also happens to be a great friend and excellent wife. So these two identical boys just fit right into their family and a week after she delivered, she was back to her routine and welcomed me into her home to photograph these sweet boys, (along with 2 of my children!!)
Can’t wait for many more play dates to come and to watch these two grow into the little boys God has created them to be!
xoxoxoxoxo to all of you Wicklunds!
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!
