So many families brought in another member to their family this past year… a Covid puppy. The Selby’s brought home sweet Chester. It was a joy to see this family and meet their new pup at one of my favorite locations.
The Selby’s always bring so much joy and laughter to their sessions, I always love seeing them!
Being with the Raeger Family always makes me so happy. Ranee and I have been friends for years and her sweet family always brings me so much joy! Their fall session at Burwell park was full of laughs and beautiful sunlight!
It is always a joy to spend time with the Raegers and I was so happy to be able to spend time with them!
When Briana knew that she was having a summer baby, she just knew she wanted to do a session outdoors highlighting the season, the flowers and the sweetness of her baby girl.
I met the Epsen family at the Minneapolis Rose Gardens (one of my favorite summer session spots) and we used the gardens for their luscious green backgrounds and space for her two year old to run.
We had a beautiful summer day without a cloud in the sky, perfect for family photos and keeping a newborn hot and sleepy!
Is your baby turning one? There is no better way to celebrate than bringing out a beautiful cake in front of them, and watching what will happen! Honestly you never know what you are going to get… they may thrust their hands down deep and pull up frosting, or they may tentatively touch it and back away at the fact that they were getting dirty!
It was so fun to see the Ties family again. Not only did we get a few family photos in, but we saw Everly thoroughly enjoy her cake, along with Kato who cleaned up after she was finished!
So many days, hours and minutes I have logged with the Springfiled family. They have been around since my first daughter was born (16 years ago) and they are still active in caring for our family so many years since we have met.
This session was different from those in the past. One, all their children are now incredible adults that are thriving and two, we sent off their youngest son to serve our country. Along with 1,100 other National Guard members, Josh left last month and before we left, and while all the kids were at home, we got in a family session.
One thing I love about the Springfields is that they all play instruments, and are so good at them. We decided to do a remake of one of the photos we took years ago.
What a joy it is to see them, and we thank you Josh, for your service to our country.
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!
