Edina Newborn Session:: Maddie

A cactus themed nursery? Yes PLEASE!

What a joy it was meeting Natalie, Mitch and sweet Maddie, and of course Hank their 2 year old pooch! I simply could not get enough of their beautifully themed nursery. There were so many personal touches that made it incredible. Everything from the wooden name plate above Maddie’s crib to the cacti that were crocheted by Mitch’s mother and the mobile that both Natalie and Mitch made while waiting on Maddie’s arrival.

Maddie was the sweetest! Born with a full head of hair and just perfect skin, she was a joy to photograph. Hank lovingly protected her throughout the session and we had to include some of Natalie’s favorite flowers, and mine too, peonies.

What a beautiful day and beautiful family! Congratulations to you all!

    Maple Grove Family Session:: Emerson Family

    At a wedding this past fall, I sat at the same table as Sarah and Matt. We chatted and actually had a great conversation between toasts, dancing and wedding photos. So when she contacted me to do a family session, I was thrilled. Her kids were so willing to try anything, running up and down hills, laying in the grass and spinning in circles. What a blast I had seeing all of them!

      Minneapolis Extended Family- Morgan Family

      Finding your people. They may be your family, or maybe they are friends that feel like family.

      I love seeing the sweet Morgan people. They are my people. Jen and Joel make you feel like you are treasured anytime you interact with them and are so gifted in hospitality.

      Naturally, their family… their other people, quickly became my people too. They were all SO easygoing and fun to be with during their session. Joel’s dad and step-mom haven’t had a family photo taken in years, so being that they were all together, we had to capture it!


      What a great day it was spending time with an incredible family!

        Edina Extended Family- Anderson Family

        Tis the season for family. And spending time with extended family! How I love seeing the Anderson family each year and seeing how their kids are growing. Summer always seems to be a perfect time to do photos and this time around Centennial Lakes was a perfect location.

          Family photo tips

          Happy Friday!
          Getting family photos isn’t even easy for me. I hire my sweet friend Gina every year for a session and even after years of doing this, my family still doesn’t always love it!


          Some ways we have learned over the years to make it more fun and easy for our pre-teens….
          1) Promise dinner after the session
          2) Organize a shopping trip where they get to pick out the outfit they love and feel comfortable in. (I typically pick a color scheme and tell them they get to pick out an outfit within that scheme!)
          3) Make it a short (we love mini sessions)
          4) Bring in all the dad jokes and use them
          5) Help them understand that they will appreciate and even be able to use the photos for the future and that it is a gift to mom. My husband always preps our kids by telling them that this is a gift to me. For some reason that seems to help!


          What about you? Any tips you can share with me for the future? We are always looking to add to our list!
