Back in July I met Mackenzie and her family. She was the maid of honor in her sister’s wedding. We hit it off right away, probably because I was chasing her cutie kiddos all over the place trying to make them laugh for a photo on the hot day, and then we were chatting up wedding details! She also mad sure I sat and ate at the wedding, which was so thoughtful! We ended up getting some great shots then, and some great shots now. I was so thrilled to see her again. Enjoy those sweet boys!!
I finished up my last round of mini sessions this weekend! Thanks again to all the wonderful families I was able to meet and see again! I can’t wait to bring you more from our sessions! Here are a few! Happy Monday!
Smith Family
McAlpine Kids
Larson Family
This weekend we were so blessed to have some great friends of ours come visit from Chicago. Thus, this Monday’s sneak has turned to Tuesday! I am so excited to share more of these sweet little boys with you!!
Kelly and Matt were married on a March day, and I was there photographing it! Little Joshua was was born in mid-March, and I was able to photograph him as well. Just 4 days old, Kelly was awesome to have me in her home! Here are some of my favorites from our time together!
Nice photos, Karen! It’s always a double bonus when you can get the pups looking, too! That last photo is great. Such a sweet baby boy.
We are city girls….
We like our Starbucks within walking distance, we like boutiques, non-beige walls, the mailman coming to our door, being cramped together in the same room with our family and the city being only 10 minutes away .
… living in the country.
We have both gotten used to the quiet days, beige walls (now splashed with color!!), mailman drive -by’s, the Starbucks in Target (I guess that will have to do for now, right Stacie?!), 40 minute commute to the City, and smells I did not even know existed from the nearby farms.
But in this season of life, it is where God has placed both of us, and I am so glad. Stacie and I connected right away when she and her family started coming to our church. Her family has been such a blessing to ours, and we all connect on many different levels! It was an honor and a privilege to photograph her beautiful family! Here are a few shots from our windy time together!!
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!
