Just a fabulous family. I was able to shoot Emily and Scott’s wedding back in 2007. From there, they moved down to Texas where they thought they would stay until this past spring when Scott found a job back in the Cities. When my fall special went out in August, Emily was one of the first to contact me. They are expecting a new baby girl to arrive this winter and I can’t wait to meet her!
So, so fun sneaks form my week! I love each of these families and so glad we got a wonderfully beautiful week to shoot in! Enjoy your Halloween Monday!

I just love this family. Back in 2002, Laurie hired me to help her out with her five year old quadruplets and her seven year old son. It was such a life changing job for me as I was entering marriage and learning how to be a wife. So many of the things Laurie taught me I have instilled into my life as a mom and wife, so when she called to ask if I would take photos of her 17 year old senior and 15 year old quads, I was elated. It was wonderful to see them all again, and I look forward to more sessions in the future with them!
OMG. I love this family and I cannot believe everyone is so grown up. What a thrill to see this beautiful family. Please say hi to them for me. I worked with Mark (many years ago) and grew to love Laurie and their genuine love and light!
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!
