It is always an honor to have clients continually returning for photos, especially when they drive a hour and a half! I shot Bryan and Jess’s wedding in 2007, and last year did their first family session right after little Hayley was born, and again when she was about 6 months. This year at almost 18 moths, we got together again for another session with their family of 3, soon to be 4! I can not wait to see this new little one! Congrats to all of you, your family is so beautiful!
Nichole contacted me a while back wanting photos of their family. She and her husband live on the outskirts of the Cities and wanted a place that would accentuate that part of their lives. We found the perfect location not too far from either of us; Gale Woods Farm (also a beautiful place for a wedding). It was a perfect day for photos and the leaves were at peak.
Issac was so perfect for the shoot, he seemed at home in the hay! Aaron told me later in the shoot that when Issac was smaller, he would sleep in the warm hay while they were working outside, no wonder he was so happy.
Such a cutie!
LOVE, LOVE the tree here. I was inspired to do our family photos here after this shoot, and a week later the leaves were almost gone! I guess that is fall in MN for you.
And my very favorite from the session….
From kindergarten to junior high and into high school, Cassie and I were good friends. We reconnected recently and I am so glad we did. Last year I did an extended family session (see here) and this year again I was able to see them again to do their family shoot. She brought great “props” ranging from huge lollipops to chalk that entertained the kids for the last minutes of the shoot (and my favorite photos!) Amundson’s, it was so great to see you again! Enjoy the photos, as well as your ultra sweet kiddos!
Meet the Kuempel family. The ABCDE family; Anne, Bryan, Cade, Drew, and Eli. The boys are in order too.
Cade is the oldest, then, Drew, then, Eli. This was not on purpose, it just happened.
They are full of energy and have a great sense of humor. Anne’s family loves being out side and doing anything active, which showed up a number of times during our shoot. I had a blast with this great family and can not wait to see them soon!
I love their choice of colors for this photo shoot! Very complimentary and eye-catching!
It was just another day in the park, with an adorable couple and 2 year old! Janell and I grew up together in those odd and crazy years of middle school and then into high school. Because we went to different high school’s we didn’t get to see each other often, but when we did it was always a sweet time! I was so happy to get to see her again and have the opportunity to photograph her beautiful family!
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!
