It was just about five years ago when I spent the day with Patti and Steve. From the moment we met, I knew we would be friends. Kind, warm-hearted, joyful, a love for others and kids, we clicked right away. Fast forward a few years after their wedding day, and I was able to see them and meet their sweet baby girl. My heart is overjoyed when past clients allow me into their lives to photograph such momentous events! Congratulations to both, I can not wait to see you again so soon!

Happy May to you! I love that summer is just around the corner. I love Spring though, all the blooms, green grass and pastels make everything gorgeous! I would love to book a spring or summer session for you, email me today for more information!

I love connecting and chatting on-line!
Find me on
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
I do my best to connect daily!
Oh my goodness. What a wonderful, sweet joy it is to see past clients. (If you have been following me for any length of time, you KNOW this is one of my greatest loves!) I photographed Jackie and Vineet’s wedding back in 2010. Over the past 7 years they have moved from state to state for Vineet’s job, and have just landed back in Minneapolis and just in time for me to meet their sweet little boy. It was wonderful connecting with them again and seeing them as amazing parents. I hope for more times like these!

Happy Monday friends! Thanks for your continued following. This past month has been busier( as you can guess as the posts have been less) but thankfully I am back at it with a FULL WEEKEND of rest and recoup, and ready to go into this week and Wedding Season (as it kicks off for me on FRIDAY!!) I can’t wait! Stay tuned, and I promise my posts will be more for the rest to the month!
Sneaky from last week of another, sweet and beautiful newborn!
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!
