On a beautiful Saturday morning, I headed to the Hart’s home in St. Paul. What a joy it was to meet the two of them, their sweet kiddos and their new pooch! Before the heat turned up for the day we were able to be outside for a few family photos and then headed to the backyard for some shots of the kids playing with their dog along with more formal shots!
What a joy it was to meet you all! I hope our paths cross again in the future!
A cactus themed nursery? Yes PLEASE!
What a joy it was meeting Natalie, Mitch and sweet Maddie, and of course Hank their 2 year old pooch! I simply could not get enough of their beautifully themed nursery. There were so many personal touches that made it incredible. Everything from the wooden name plate above Maddie’s crib to the cacti that were crocheted by Mitch’s mother and the mobile that both Natalie and Mitch made while waiting on Maddie’s arrival.
Maddie was the sweetest! Born with a full head of hair and just perfect skin, she was a joy to photograph. Hank lovingly protected her throughout the session and we had to include some of Natalie’s favorite flowers, and mine too, peonies.
What a beautiful day and beautiful family! Congratulations to you all!
At a wedding this past fall, I sat at the same table as Sarah and Matt. We chatted and actually had a great conversation between toasts, dancing and wedding photos. So when she contacted me to do a family session, I was thrilled. Her kids were so willing to try anything, running up and down hills, laying in the grass and spinning in circles. What a blast I had seeing all of them!
Finding your people. They may be your family, or maybe they are friends that feel like family.
I love seeing the sweet Morgan people. They are my people. Jen and Joel make you feel like you are treasured anytime you interact with them and are so gifted in hospitality.
Naturally, their family… their other people, quickly became my people too. They were all SO easygoing and fun to be with during their session. Joel’s dad and step-mom haven’t had a family photo taken in years, so being that they were all together, we had to capture it!
What a great day it was spending time with an incredible family!
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
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!
