Both are lovers of the city and being with one another! We wandered Main Street together, chatted, and laughed! I simply can not wait to celebrate with this beautiful couple next week as they exchange vows!!

Minnesotan’t love their city and Anna was no different. Before Anna and Mike tied the knot, we headed out into Minneapolis to capture this beautiful couple around the lakes! It was so much fun to get to know this amazing couple better!!








What do a cute little puppy, wine, rain and love have in common? Amy and John!!
We headed out to the wonderful Woodland Hill winery for some photos among the vines when out of the blue a huge thundercloud came rushing in carring in high winds and lods of rain! Right before the doun pour, Amy and John were able to roam the vinyeard for a while as I snapped some photos, and then we ended up running as the rain came!
A week later we picked up where we had left off to a beautiful summer evening filled with sun and a cute pup to join us.
I can’t wait for this October wedding. I know it will be just as fun, and I am hoping much less adventurous!!















They were booking a trip to the south, just to get away from the business of life, when I arrived at Ann and Jim’s home in Minneapolis. Offering me iced tea with a sprig of mint from her garden, Ann took me to the place she and Jim consider their sanctuary. Their backyard plot was as if it had come out of a Better Homes and Garden’s magazine. In years past the couple had worked with a trained gardner and landscaper to achieve the garden of their dreams, and now they were allowing me to enter their world. A crop of wild strawberries was waiting for the two neighbor boys the loved to come and pick them. A potting bench stood full of flowers I had never heard names for. Bright colors filled the garden as luscious greens filled as backdrops, and the quiet sound of trickling water brought a peace in the Minneapolis area. It was a joy and honor to come and photograph your peaceful garden for the day.









Since their wedding 4 years ago, Megan told me her and Jacob had not had good photo together. She wanted to do a fun session incorporating one of the things they both love.. reading and Harry Potter books. They were wonderfully prepared with great fun props. We incorporated them along with some sweet photos of the couple. It was such a great time and they are such a fun couple!






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!

A quick look at Sarah and Robert’s beautiful garden soirée themed wedding day! I love catching these behind the scenes moments!Congratulations Sarah and Robert
Watching families grow over the years is one of the greatest joys of my job.
I recently photographed sweet baby Noah’s newborn session, and it was so special getting to capture this season for Sarah + Brandon after photographing their engagement, wedding, and growing family through the years.
His big sister absolutely adored him, and those sibling moments melted my heart
I shared more from their session on the blog today! If your family is growing and you’re looking for newborn or family photos in Minnesota, I’d love to connect.
