It seemed like only yesterday I was photographing sweet Finn’s photos and earlier this spring, I was able to meet his new baby brother. What a gift this sweet family is!!

They are back!! This year I will only be running two rounds of mini sessions and one is this spring! Mini sessions are a great way to get a great new family photo, catch the milestones of your kids, give a great Mother’s day gift, or just an inexpensive way to get a couples photo with the spring blossoms! Details on locations will be coming soon! Both sessions will be offered in around the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area. Dates and times are below. Sessions are $225 for a 25 minute session and around 20-30 high resolution print ready images available in a digital download. The deposit to hold your session is $100. Please don’t hesitate to e-mail if you have questions. federphotography@gmail.com

Kristen was the winner of the December contest!! I was so happy she did because her sweet babies were adorable and SO easy to work with. Half way through the shoot her sweet 3 year old came over, hugged me and said “I love you, Karen.” (Insert, heart melting and one more reason to love my job!) This only goes to prove what sweet and wonderful parents Kristen and her husband Andrew are. I can’t wait to see them again in July, see how the kids have grown, and hopeful receive one more amazing hug!!








One of my absolute favorite things ( as I have mentioned time and time again) is seeing clients married and then have family. Not only have I been blessed to photograph engagement sessions and weddings, but to be able to welcome first babies in the world brings so much joy! This was the case of Angie and Cory! A few years back I did both their engagement and wedding, and this past month I was blessed again by them and welcomed into their home to photograph sweet Noah. I look forward to more sessions with this sweet family as they continue to grow!!

Three little dresses on three little princesses. When I saw them coming from a mile away, I knew the session would be a good one! Walking about the park, I couldn’t help but remember the days to twirling dresses and the careless days of being a kid. May this Thursday you feel a bit like that as you go about your day!

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!
