Spring is almost here and I cannot wait to get back outside for beautiful sunset sessions like this. Maternity sessions are such a sweet time to capture the expectation and love of the little one who will soon be arriving. I love the slow pace during sessions with just mom and dad.

One of the major beliefs I have as a photographer is that photos are not meant to live on our computers, smart phones or social media. As a mom of young kids, I see how their eyes light up when we look through the photo books that hold our family photos. They love seeing their […]

Melody is the business maven and founder of “Events by Melody“, a wedding planning company in the Minneapolis area. I’ve had the pleasure to work with Melody on several amazing weddings, so it was really fun to get her in front of my camera with her husband and sweet baby boy. I love the images […]

It was so fun seeing this family for their fall family session! I last photographed them when their youngest was a newborn, so it was crazy to see how much the kids have grown in the 18 months since then. I love their fun interactions with each other.

I have had the honor to photograph this family since their engagement, their wedding and now beautiful family photos.

These boys have so much personality and they had some serious fun with their parents during our time together. Here’s a […]

The fall evening was sunny and had the perfect golden light coming through the trees. There are so many favorites […]

It goes without saying that the year 2020 has been hard for everyone. From job changes, work and school adaptations, home-schooling, virtual learning, mask wearing…. ugh, it’s been a trip. I’m holding onto hope that the last quarter of the year can be better than the first three! I hope that you’ve been able to […]
