closeI love spring. And I love family sessions in spring! What a joy it is to take our kiddos out into the warmth of the sun and have the simple joy of walking and playing at the park. That is exactly what I did with the sweet Horning family!
Oh how I love the cake smash. You never know what you are going to get when you put a cake in front of a one year old. Sometimes it is the messy mash and (like this case!) bug crocodile tears! Evelyn was a trooper, but when we put that cake in front of her, the waterworks came out. But even when she cried, she was still a cutie pie!!
Spring has sprung and I am SO thankful!! Here is one of my favorites from last year of the trees and flowers in full bloom with one of my favorite families that I have been photographing since their oldest was one! I can not wait to be breathing in these heavenly scents very soon!
And just a quick reminder, if you have not yet scheduled your May mini session, the Rose Gardens are just one of the two locations I will be shooting at this year and hopefully (fingers crossed!) it will be just as lovely this year!! Feel free to e-mail for more information and to see what slots are still available!
Jumping, running, playing and smiling. All things I LOVE about toddlers and boys! It was so wonderful to see this sweet family again this spring and capture the essence of this sweet period of time!
It seemed like only yesterday I was photographing sweet Finn’s photos and earlier this spring, I was able to meet his new baby brother. What a gift this sweet family is!!
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
