I know that one of the most challenging parts of a family photo session is pulling together the outfits. From wondering what the weather will be like, to whether your toddler will wear the outfit you’ve carefully chosen for them, there are many unknowns! I always recommend choosing simple, neutral, light colored clothing. These colors […]

Morning newborn sessions are an absolute favorite of mine. I already love the morning, because #coffee, and the light is often so soft and beautiful. Add a precious, squishy newborn with doting parents to that, and I get so excited to capture images that will be heirlooms for the family. This session with baby J […]

Ashley and Justin are expecting their first baby in the late summer. We got together at a beautiful park during golden hour to capture this sweet time of expectation. They don’t know the gender (I love the surprise!) so it will be so fun to see that news once baby has arrived! The moments between […]

Katie and Dan are a past wedding couple who just celebrated their five year anniversary. I have photographed them a few times since their wedding as their family has grown. It’s an honor to continue working with wedding couples in this way! We met up at a favorite location for a morning maternity session with […]

This spring has been full of beautiful new babies, and I’m so thankful to have been able to photograph this sweet family again. This time, baby J had finally arrived and it felt like a celebration of his new life to capture these joyful moments. The best part about photographing families with their newborns is […]

Little baby J arrived just as the stay-at-home order was issued here in Minnesota. His parents waited patiently (and I did too!) to get some beautiful newborn photos in late May. We found a beautiful location in Excelsior where there was tons of space – social-distancing – and sunshine for this sweet family session. Baby […]

Little baby B made her arrival in the midst of the COVID lockdown in Minnesota. I was able to get together with this sweet family when she was four weeks old to document their newest member in a light-filled Minneapolis studio space. I photographed her older sister at home when she was a baby, and […]

These two were such fun to photograph! Wade loved exploring this beautiful light-filled space while his mama snuggled him, sang his favorite songs and made him laugh. These moments of connection are the best kind to see from behind the camera. You can almost hear the laughter through these images!

A sunny and relaxed Saturday morning with Brooke and her one year old daughter. This session was all about capturing the connection between mother and daughter. I love the moments of these two interacting. I’ve loved getting to photograph so much of this family story. It is always sweet to see previous wedding couples growing […]

Our own family welcomed a new baby girl in November, Norah. These photos are mostly film images, a combination being shot by my husband and myself. The snuggles of a newborn baby are the absolute best thing in the world, and I will always cherish these images of our first days with Norah.
