Tis the season for extended family sessions and how great that we are all able to be back together again. I do believe 2022 is going to be the year I will be doing LOTS of extended family sessions and can I be honest? I love it! It is a joy to see so many people like this one genuinely happy to be together and excited again. I can’t wait to see so many of you!
Mini Sessions are some of my favorite sessions. They are perfect for babies, and even daddies! Quick, painless and only 25 minutes long, it’s pretty much the perfect time that most families can endure! I loved seeing the McCloud family and meeting their newest addition. We got some incredible shots around Monticippi park and even had a few minutes to put the little man in a family kilt! Oh how I love it when families bring heritage and tradition to their family photos. This can even be accomplished in a mini session!!
Centennial Lakes Park in Edina is one of my favorite photo locations. At all times of the year, it is filled with beauty, but fall is probably my favorite time to photograph there. The leaves are changing, the grasses are full and flowing and the flowers are in full bloom.
I loved doing this extended family session. We wandered the park and made sure to get all the different family combos. I loved how momma and daughter wore matching dresses and know that especially at this age, how fun it is to do that.
I look forward to many more sessions at Centennial Lakes this year!
Summer is full of family time and babies! I love when I get to see families over the years and the Luong family is no exception. When Rachel reached out last summer to ask if I would be willing to photograph her and her newest little one, I was flattered.
We chose park close to their home in Roseville where we did their first maternity session with their daughter. At that time we were dealing with the elements of winter, and this time around we had beautiful green grass and full trees. We wandered around the path for some shots of her and her husband, and then added her daughter to the mix. We played hide and seek with the blanket, ran in circles to kiss mommy and daddy and even sung to the baby.
Rachel and Tom, it was a joy to see you both again and congratulations!
There is never (ever) a dull moment when there are two little boys under the age of four being photographed. I met the Evens family at the beautiful Central Park in Roseville. Complete with fountains, gardens, and a field to run in, it was not only the perfect place for photos, but the perfect place for two little boys.
We began our session on paths and grass where the boys could run off a little energy and then be excited for photos. We dodged a few rain clouds and ended up under trees while dad tickled the boys to keep them distracted and eventually the sun shown through to give us an incredible golden hour.
The end of the session ended at the beautiful fountain, and of course, water was played in, laughs were had and family photos were checked off the list for another year! I can not wait to see this family again this fall for more running, games and of course, photos!
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!
