Back in December of 2007, I met Sarah and Chris. They were so fun to be with and friends I wanted to keep. Well I am SO glad that I have been able to see them on a yearly basis to do their family photos. Their boys continue to make me smile as they are SO stinkin’ cute!! This session was just as great. For the first 15 minutes, the boys laughed like crazy, and couldn’t help but to share in their joy! I continue to look forward to sessions like this one!
One year ago, I was photographing little Bennett at one year (see HERE). Crazy how time flies and Melissa and Matt have added another to their beautiful family! I was fortunate enough to see their newest addition, Grant, and get some photos of him!
Lauren and Wade had waited for Max to come much longer than many parents. Waiting the 9 months out of pregnancy was hard enough, but waiting through the last 4 years had been even harder. (See Lauren and Wade’s pregnancy post HERE) After the years of waiting Max was born on a beautiful September day. I was thrilled to get the message and couldn’t wait to hold the little guy as well as take his photos! Max, you are a blessing and an answered prayer to not only your parents, but to many!
Their joy and laughter is contagious. It carries to those around them making them smile. Terry and Stacy are just that way. They are people you want to be around. Want to get to know. Want to laugh with. It was a joy filled session as we walked around Como Park in St. Paul, only miles from their home. I was grateful to spend a fall Sunday afternoon with them.
What a wonderful family you are! Thanks for sharing these pictures. God bless.
I was photographing Jennifer’s sister Audie this past March. I was overjoyed when she called and asked if they could get some casual family shots this fall together. Here is the outcome!!
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!
