I've known Andy (the dad) for a long time.  He's a wedding DJ and has grown into quite the hubby and daddy over the years.  Erin (mama) is absolutely lovely and I can't get over how she gorgeous she looks after having sweet little Eliza!!!   Sweet big bro was incredibly patient and loving towards his baby sister and snuggled her without hesitation.   I'll cross my fingers he'll stay like this during her toddler stage : ) 

Enjoy!

What an incredible surprise it was to receive a call from mama to photograph these twins!   I had the pleasure of working with their parents on their wedding day years ago was so bummed they had moved out of the state for the past few years.    Just before these darlings were born, mama and daddy with the big fur siblings moved back to MN and I could not be happier!!!   
​Isla + Isaac were so snuggly and peaceful during their entire session.   Right when daddy had to make a work call, they woke up and needed to be fed.  Isn't that how the stars always seem to align?!?!  

​enjoy!

Sweet Ziggy Mae!  I shot her parents wedding back in the day and was so excited to hear about her arrival!   We met at a local park and shot her adorable 1st year milestone session.    She's bubbly, soft, and rocks the bluest blues I've ever seen.

Karli and Craig invited me to one of their favorite spots and included much of their love for firefighting in their engagement session.   I had an absolute freak moment when she asked me to take a photo while her engagement ring held a stack of lit matches but it was probably the coolest idea I've seen.  You'll have to scroll down and check out her idea come to life. 

I am so excited for their 2020 celebration!

Little Theo was a dream to photograph!  He slept all 2.5 hours of his session and had the most beautiful expressions.    I've loved adding props to my collection and he rocked a few of my new pieces!

What a sweet boy you are sweet Theo!   

Whoa!  Talk about a power couple!   
I've seen snuggles and kisses but these two radiate relationship goals!   
We spent an early morning together adventuring all over Montissippi Regional Park in Monticello and these two rocked their winter engagement session!    They were down for just about anything I asked them to do.   I can't wait for their summer wedding!    GAH!  It's going to be amazing!!

GAWD.    These two were so amazing to work with!   I met Ceta and Patrick at their place downtown Minneapolis and we walked the Stone Arch where they were engaged!   It was so fun hearing the details of the proposal and it reminded me so much of my own.  These two are die hard Vikings fans, and are season ticket holders so we had to incorporate US Bank Stadium and their brick.   We adventured around the city and found some great little spots that helped show off their fun personalities.   I hope you love it as much as I did. 

I am honored to be their photographer.   Look for these soulmates again after their fall wedding!

Shelby and Kevin brought their favorite pups along for the first part of their session.   Things got a little rowdy so they called on a family member to come entertain for a bit while we finished up their session. We spent time overlooking the river in Hutchinson where they had their first date.   It's so sweet when couples include something sentimental during their engagement session.   I had a blast working with these two for their winter engagement session. 

​

Megan and Jason LOVE winter and snowboarding so we we had to include this activity as part of their engagement session.  We met at Elm Creek Park on a very chilly day but they rocked it.    I just love hearing sweet stories about couples during their engagement sessions and seeing them in action.    I am thrilled to work with this couple for their engagement session and 2019 wedding.    

​Enjoy! 

Heather and her three favorites came into the studio for a family mini session right before the holidays.    We used the studio first as it was a VERY chilly morning!   Her and her family are big into hockey so it only felt natural ending up on a local Buffalo ice rink!    I can't wait to share a few previews of this sweet family of four!

Happy 2019 to you and yours!

Meet sweet Charles - thee Christmas baby!    I was able to document his fresh 48 at the Maple Grove hospital and watch his parents ooh and awe over his every move.  They gushed over his sweet cries and new baby reflexes, and Mama called him Charles in Charge which I think it fits perfectly!   Babies are such a gift, and he's certainly made this season the merriest!  Congratulations to this party of three!
