Happy Monday friends! Thanks for your continued following. This past month has been busier( as you can guess as the posts have been less) but thankfully I am back at it with a FULL WEEKEND of rest and recoup, and ready to go into this week and Wedding Season (as it kicks off for me on FRIDAY!!) I can’t wait! Stay tuned, and I promise my posts will be more for the rest to the month!
Sneaky from last week of another, sweet and beautiful newborn!
This past weekend through the wind, rain and sunshine, I met with Anne and Will to run around Minneapolis for their engagement session. I can not wait to celebrate next month with these two!
I also got to meet another sweet spring baby. This lil man came into the studio with his big brother and oh, stop my beating heart, he was precious and so, so sweet!!
Smitten. She caught all of our hearts, from the way she looked at her parents to the peaceful way she slept. Miss Evelyn was a gem to photograph and a joy to meet. Her parents and I chatted about the nuances of becoming parents and the joys of having girls. I can not wait to see her and her sweet parents again as she grows!
Going from one child to two can be a huge life transformation, but what about going from one to three?! The sweet Fernandez family of Plymouth did just that. My heart was absolutely melting as these two little ones were complete angels. Hardly making a peep, sleeping throughout the entire session and still tiny and scrunched made the session even more enjoyable. Their parents and big brother welcomed them with joy, and we even did a little bed-bouncing to keep the session fun! All the sweet noises, movements, and smells made me appreciate even more the newness of life and how precious it is. Congratulations Michelle and Hector, I can not wait to see you as parents of three!
Such sweet pictures Karen! Amazing work!
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!
