closeWhen my friend Jenny told me that she wanted their old truck in a family session, I was all over it!! Knowing that we HAD to make it happen, we squeezed in an afternoon session and the results were incredible!! It gave me many more ideas on using this truck for future shoots… now to just get her husband to drive it to these locations….
They are here!! For those of you who had a crazy fall, this one is for you! If you are interested, please let me know and I can share availability!!
Fall is just a gorgeous time for photos and the evenings can be completely amazing! I had so much fun with this little family; running in leaves, playing on stairs and chatting about life while photographing them in the process! 
Living in all areas of the world, I had the privilege of catching them all together in a weekend to document this sweet stage of life. It literally began down pouring half way through the session, but umbrellas and huge trees kept us partially dry and left a lifelong memory of dashing through the rain together!
We got rained out of our first session, but the night after was completely amazing! Racing against the light in the farm fields brought some of my very favorite images this fall of this beautiful family!
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
