Downtown Wayzata:: Summer Extended Family

Oh how the lovely Hodepp family makes me smile! They are some of the kindest people you will ever encounter. I have been so incredibly blessed to photograph Maddie and Billy’s wedding and now their entire family as they welcomed their daughter to the family this year. In so many ways I hope my children grow up and model the Hodepp children.

We were watching the radar all day in hopes that the rain would hold off, and miraculously it did. Our session took place along the beautiful Lake Minnetonka and around the Wayzata Depot. Because of the ify weather, we didn’t have to deal with many people in the area and the dark clouds created a perfect backdrop for the Hodepp family to shine.

We found one patch of flowers that were still in bloom and out of the wind which made for some of the best photos of the evening. What a joy it was to see this family again. I can’t wait to continue to see them grow!

Minneapolis Studio Family Session:: Sachs Family

I have been photographing the Sachs family since they were engaged and married. Steve and Gina brought their oldest home and we did a few milestone sessions and last year they welcomed a sweet baby girl to the family! We documented her newborn session in her home and then her six month milestone in the summer.

In February, this little girl turned one. I loved the props that Gina brought… balloons, stackable blocks, a cake and of course, a tutu!

We ended this Minneapolis studio session with a highly anticipated cake smash that was devoured by both this sweet one year old and her big brother. And we could not have left the session without cake filled hands to wash and kiss! It is always a blessing to see Steve and Gina and can’t wait to see more of them this year!

Minneapolis, MN:: Newborn Session

I absolutely love meeting new families and the sweet little ones that they bring home. I was able to head out on a cold winter day in Minneapolis to meet this family. At the start to the session, there was a little tentativeness to photos, but as the books came out and songs ensued, there was only fun to be had.

We began out session in the bright, well lit family room and then moved to the bedroom where we read books, sang songs and snuggled. We moved to the nursery for some photos and had a sleeping babe almost the entire time!

It was an honor photographing this kind Minneapolis family, and I simply can not wait to see them in a few months. It really is incredible how fast kiddos grow up and documenting these stages makes me so happy! I hope to see many of you again soon!

Shoreview:: Family Session

One of the most wonderful things about Social Media is being able to keep up with friends from the past. Brooke and I went to college together and although we weren’t super close in college, we have reconnected through Facebook and kept in touch through the years. A few weeks back, I was able to photograph Brooke and her sweet family again. Last year they brought home the fourth and beautiful baby girl. All four girls were so sweet and easy. It was a joy to be with all of them!

Richfield Family Session:: Horn Extended Family

Typically when someone tells me they have two-year-old twins and a three-year-old nephew that they want photographed together, I brace myself for lots of running around, but with the Horn family it was nothing like that. These boys were some of the sweetest, most kind, laid-back boys I’ve been with. It was easy to see why they were so well behaved when their grandparents and parents were around.

The Horn’s love each other and take care of one another, making sure they’re supported and well loved. It was a joy to get to know this family and photograph them this summer.

I love meeting new families and if your family is interested in the extended family session or just immediate family session please don’t hesitate to reach out there’s still room this year!
