closeI love returning clients. I shot Chris and Sarah’s wedding almost 2 years ago. From then, I have been able to see them every 6 months to catch up on their lives and their kiddos. I am in love with these 2 little guys, both are so stinkin cute. We had a wonderful day of fall leaves and fun. I am looking forward to more shoots with this sweet family.
Look at this cutie hat Lincon is wearing. I loved it!
After a big snowstorm on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday I was able to get some beautiful shots of beautiful families. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, winter has arrived in Minnesota!

Laura, Darren and I all ran cross country together back in high school, so it was surprising to me to run into the two of them together married! at a wedding I was shooting. Laura explained to me that they really wanted photos to celebrate their 5 years together, but the time had gotten away from them. They finally were getting around to it a year later! I was so thrilled to spend time with these two 12 years later. Running was not included, but some great shoes that Darren’s sister had gotten them were. LOVED it! Congrats on 6 years together and here’s to many more!
I have had the great privilege of photographing Alison and her parents since she was 3 months old. We got together for her one year photos at a farm in Andover. She was eager to explore the place and the camera was the last thing on her mind! I look forward to more shoots with this beautiful family!
I had taken up a new endeavor my sophomore year of high school. I wanted to try something that I had never done before so I could get the most out of my winter months. I decided to take on the whole new world of cross country skiing. Little did I know, I would love the sport, and my toes would get frostbite! I met Lori during the early days of my training. She was kind and an upperclassmen. She and a few other girls befriended me and after skiing was over for the season, they convinced me to do track and cross country running.
When Lori graduated, we had very little contact with one another until I saw her again at a Campus Crusade conference while I was in college. Now she and her husband are working for Campus Crusade in the St. Cloud area. I was so happy our paths crossed again and meet the rest of her family this fall.
They are a beautiful family! And their lil boy is a C.UT.IE!
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
