closeIt’ so hard to believe how fast a year goes by! Almost exactly one year ago I was photographing this family with their 6 week old, and now look at him! Moving and grooving on all fours this little guy will be running to catch up with his older siblings in not some many months! I love seeing sweet families like the Darkenwalds over time and the Rose Gardens were a perfect location for their session!
For every Red Thread session, I get a little emotional. I think its the combination of knowing that a child has found his or her forever home and the picture of how Christians are adopted into the family of God. There is nothing that this child could do on account of his own works to get into the family, but a picture of complete and utter acceptance and love that this family had for this child long before he ever entered into their family.
I was overjoyed when the sweet Tabb family contacted me a few months ago telling me that they were in the process of adopting their little guy from China. What makes this family even MORE special, is that long ago, even before they were married, we all attended the same church together. It is a joy o see their family come together in its on and unique way. I love being a part of these sessions and blessing families along the way.
Head on over to my website to read more about Red Thread sessions, and if you are in the process of adopting, I would love to connect!
Meeting Jenna and Taylor’s little man was wonderful! I was able to photograph their wedding almost 2 years ago, and seeing their little guy made me so happy. As you can probably imagine, the Minneapolis Rose Gardens are one of my favorite places to photograph. If your family is looking for some updated photos, I would love to connect!
Having a photo session with twins can be anything but boring! Add in a toddler, and things get even more eventful! Michelle and Hector were incredible though. Patient, loving and knowing that perfect smile would come made it worth the extra snuggles, food and tickles! Here’s to many more sessions with these amazing kiddos!
When she saw her, she cried. After having two boys already, she was sure another baby boy was on the way. She was completely wrong and her are of little men has welcomed this sweet little girl into their family! What a joy and a gift she was to photograph! More sweet babies please!
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!

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.
