closeKelly and I met years ago when we were living in Robbinsdale. Long before our kids got big, we would take our little people to a local park and to swim and play during the summer months. I am so thankful for this amazing group of women that walked along side of me during the early years of parenting, and thankful that as our kids have aged, we can still keep in contact and I get to photograph these sweet babies getting to be big kiddos!!
Six months has to be one of my favorite stages for babies, I love their rolls, the way they interact and coo. Sweet Elsie was no exception, I loved meeting her at the baby stage, but seeing her wide eyed and happy brought me so much joy! And seeing families on a regular basis makes me even more happy!!
June is here, and with that LONG, beautiful, summer days! Looking for an updated family photo? Having a baby? Getting married? I’d love to connect, and don’t mind me, I’ll just be sitting outside enjoying the sun!
I love connecting and chatting on-line!

I do my best to connect daily!
It was a glorious day for a family session. Leah and her littles stood amongst the hordes of beautiful people all dressed up for prom. Little did I know the park would be in utter craziness when we scheduled her session, but we finally found a spot in the grasses and on the trail to photograph her sweet family in.
Reminding me of my own family, her kids, two girls and a boy, brought back sweet memories of when my kids were at these precious ages and capturing this family at this particular stage was near and dear to my heart!
One of their very favorite things to do together is have tea parties, so it was only natural that Hayley and her daughter bring tea to their session. Drinking tea with stuffed animals, reading books along the tulips at Lyndale Park in Minneapolis, the two had an amazing spring evening for their session and lots of fun in the process! It was a joy to meet these sweet girls and join in on their tea party!
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
