Recently I was asked to answer a few questions for Honey book on work/ life balance with kiddos. I was honored to be among 3 other women to be interviewed. Head on over to read more about how we as mommas at all stages and some tips that might help you in any season of life!
It’ so hard to believe how fast a year goes by! Almost exactly one year ago I was photographing this family with their 6 week old, and now look at him! Moving and grooving on all fours this little guy will be running to catch up with his older siblings in not some many months! I love seeing sweet families like the Darkenwalds over time and the Rose Gardens were a perfect location for their session!
For every Red Thread session, I get a little emotional. I think its the combination of knowing that a child has found his or her forever home and the picture of how Christians are adopted into the family of God. There is nothing that this child could do on account of his own works to get into the family, but a picture of complete and utter acceptance and love that this family had for this child long before he ever entered into their family.
I was overjoyed when the sweet Tabb family contacted me a few months ago telling me that they were in the process of adopting their little guy from China. What makes this family even MORE special, is that long ago, even before they were married, we all attended the same church together. It is a joy o see their family come together in its on and unique way. I love being a part of these sessions and blessing families along the way.
Head on over to my website to read more about Red Thread sessions, and if you are in the process of adopting, I would love to connect!
Meeting Jenna and Taylor’s little man was wonderful! I was able to photograph their wedding almost 2 years ago, and seeing their little guy made me so happy. As you can probably imagine, the Minneapolis Rose Gardens are one of my favorite places to photograph. If your family is looking for some updated photos, I would love to connect!
Having a photo session with twins can be anything but boring! Add in a toddler, and things get even more eventful! Michelle and Hector were incredible though. Patient, loving and knowing that perfect smile would come made it worth the extra snuggles, food and tickles! Here’s to many more sessions with these amazing kiddos!
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!
