closeRuth and I met in our daughter’s music class and 2 years ago I was able to photograph their family. Since they have added another little one to their family, the Short and Sweet session was perfect to get a new family photo taken. I loved seeing them again and can’t wait to watch their family grow!
When one of my good friends, Sarah, called me to tell me her news, I probably did just about what everyone else did. “Your having TWINS???!!!”
Now I think just about anyone would flip if they found out this fantastic news, but for Sarah and Phil, double flips were in line. They were already adding to their 3 other children, 2 of whom are almost 2 year old twins and their daughter who had just turned 4! Now heads really turned and when Sarah was introduced to her Mom’s group at church, just about everyone gasped when they heard she was expecting 2 babies and would have 5 under 4! ( I think a mom blog may be in order Sarah…) I am prone to think I would gasp too, but Sarah is one of the most laid back, down to earth, wonderful mom’s I know. She also happens to be a great friend and excellent wife. So these two identical boys just fit right into their family and a week after she delivered, she was back to her routine and welcomed me into her home to photograph these sweet boys, (along with 2 of my children!!)
Can’t wait for many more play dates to come and to watch these two grow into the little boys God has created them to be!
xoxoxoxoxo to all of you Wicklunds!
Sarah and I worked together many years ago, (she was actually my boss, and a very good one I might add!) and have stayed in touch through the years. She is one fun lady to be around! I can tell she and her husband are best friends and her two boys are blessed to have a mom like her! Even in the rain for our session, everyone was just enjoying one another and taking in the scenery! I loved it, and can’t wait to see you all again next year!!
Nancy contacted me last October and I was booked solid with sessions. She was able to take full advantage of the Short and Sweet sessions, and I just loved meeting her energetic family! The kids were hilarious and after a few minutes, they were easily laughing and having a great time together! We perused the Wayzata depot, and got some great shots! I look forward to more shoots with this great family in the future!
I just love this family. I was able to photograph Jeff and Ashley’s wedding, and now that they have added to their family, I am thrilled to be able to photograph them all again! Baby Bellamie (don’t you just love that name?!!) was born only a few weeks ago and was perfect for her first session. She even gracefully showed off her feather and fabric headbands and sweet -tu and hardly even cried. I am looking forward to seeing this family grow!
Celebrating Sidney and Ryan today!!
Happy one year anniversary to you both!! What an incredible day we had, I hop your year has been just as amazing. Many blessings to you both!
Well… that sure went fast.
It feels like just yesterday we were dropping Lydia off at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, wondering what these next few years would hold for her. Today, we’re celebrating her graduation with a degree in communications.
Watching Lydia grow into such an incredible, Godly young woman has been one of the greatest gifts. Through her time serving students with Cru, she has poured so much love, encouragement, and faith into the lives of others. She leads with kindness, serves with humility, and cares for people so deeply.
We are endlessly proud of the woman she has become and so excited for this next chapter as she begins working in HR with Mayo Clinic in Wisconsin. There’s no doubt she will continue making people feel seen, valued, and cared for wherever she goes.
God has been so faithful through every step, and we can’t wait to see what He has ahead for you, Lydia.
Becoming an entrepreneur wasn’t easy. It took a lot of hard work in understanding what I wasn’t good at before understanding what I was good at. I failed a lot in the process.

We often only see the good things and success stories on social media, but getting to the point where we are confident in ourselves and our work takes time and lots of failures. Trust me. 25 years and still working at it!!
Spring at Lake Harriet gave us the dreamiest backdrop for Lindy + Arend’s engagement session. The blooms were at their absolute peak, the flowers were full and vibrant, and every corner felt like something out of a painting. These two made the whole evening feel effortless as we wandered through all the beauty that comes with Minnesota spring.
Now we’re counting down to their September wedding, when the scenery will look completely different filled with rich autumn colors and falling leaves but just as beautiful. I cannot wait to celebrate these two in a whole new season of life together!
If you’re recently engaged and dreaming up your own engagement session or wedding day, I’d love to connect
