“I just checked my Google Reader and scanned your blog, as I do almost everyday (I’ve been “stalking” your blog for quite awhile now ), and almost jumped out of my skin when I saw that I was one of your winners!!! I’m SO EXCITED!!”

Jen’s words when she found out that she was one of the birthday winners. (See Here for more info) I was more than thrilled to do their family shoot because we had actually met many moths before when they were visiting our church up in Elk River. it was wonderful to reconnect with them and to see how her son had grown and to meet here baby!

We found the CUTEST candy stores and photographed on one of the most beautiful days of the month so far. All that equaled fun, sugar and happy kiddos! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

i heart faces-bundled up

Tags: Children, children's photographer, family photographer, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Photographers

We here in MN are wanting to forget the snow and the cold temps, especially with a week peaking over 60! A good reminder that only 2 weeks ago, my front yard was covered in the white stuff. Now, slowly but surely the buds are making their way out of the hibernation phase, and so are all the Minnesotans!

Here is a photo of my 3 year old, before she came to me covered in mud and dirt!

To see more bundled up people see HERE!

Hi Karen! Just wanted to say that your blog is my lunchtime activity at school each day! I get 30 minutes, and as I eat, I always check to see your latest blog post! Question for you: Is it possible for you to link your “I heart faces” photo to the contest on their website to see other photographers’ entries? I find that website a bit difficult to navigate. Thanks for perking me up with your beautiful photos during lunch! 🙂

i heart faces- week 6

Tags: baby photography, Children, family photographer, family photography, Minneapolis, Photographers

This week the theme is “kisses”. Appropriate for the up and coming Valentine’s day. I LOVE this image. It is so funny to me watching how kids will react to their parents kissing. I try every session to bring it into the mix, not knowing what kind of response it will bring. This was one of those moments where I was giggling behind the lens!

Love the daughter face. That is exactly how my son is when we kiss. This is a great photo!!

No one said you had to do newborn photos inside! Taking lifestyle newborn photos outside and making them true to your style makes them even more meaningful and significant!!

“When should we schedule newborn photos?”

If you’re expecting (whether it’s your first baby or you’re adding to your crew), this is one of the most common questions I get

The sweet spot?
7–14 days after your baby arrives

Those early days are something special…
Your baby is still sleepy, snuggly, and curled up in that fresh, just-born way—and it changes so quickly.

But here’s what matters just as much:

You don’t have to go anywhere.

My newborn sessions take place in your home whether it’s a quiet morning with your first baby or a full, beautifully busy house with siblings running around.

No pressure. No perfect expectations.
Just your family, exactly as you are in this season.

If you’re thinking about newborn photos, I recommend reaching out during your second trimester so I can save space around your due date

I shared more about what to expect (and why timing matters) over on the blog link is in my bio!

If this season is coming up for you, I’d love to connect

On this gorgeous spring day, I find myself reliving Connor and Kristen’s wedding at Bavaria Downs.

An effortlessly timeless celebration layered with refined details, soft summer light, and a kind of beauty that never asks for attention, it simply exists. Every moment felt intentional, elegant, and deeply meaningful… the kind of day that lingers long after it’s over.

Truly, a wedding that defines what it means to be both classic and unforgettable.

If you’re envisioning a day that feels elevated, seamless, and entirely your own, I would be honored to document it.
