It is one thing to hear of a soldiar leaving to go overseas for a year, it is another to know him and his family. The Schuts have been long time clients/ friends of mine and last winter when I did their maternity session they told me the news that Nate would be leaving to go overseas not long after his first son was to be born. My heart ached for both of them as well as for their kiddos. Throughout the year, I was able to photograph their son and how he grew and hear about how things were going. Thankfully the year passed and that spring day arrived when Nate walked off the plane to greet his family again and to finally be able to hold them all again. It was an honor and joy to be able to capture this moment in time for them. And for all who serve or who have family that do, we are so BLESSED by your sacrifices. Thank you!!
Love, love, love this family!! When I received word that a new baby boy would be added to this family I was overjoyed. Not only is he blessed by amazing parents, his extended family is just as amazing!! I met the Green’s in studio for some photos of all of them and baby Wes only a week old!! Can’t wait to watch him grow along side his brothers!!

Last night we had NOTHING going on. That is a pretty crazy thing. Between all of our schedules, it is hard to come by. My oldest suggested we go to a park together and take photos because she most lovingly admonished me in her sweet nine year old voice that I am constantly taking photos of other people’s families, and not of them. As much as I hated to agree with her, she had a point, so we scoped out some BEAUTIFUL blossoming trees and took photos. It was today as I was looking through them all, and as I contemplate the end of another school year, that my kids are growing us SO STINKIN fast!! I remember having so many people tell me how fast it goes, and they were right!! I am thankful to be on to this next stage in their lives, but there are days I would’t mind having them all around to snuggle with, nap with, tottle with and explore the big world with. If you are in that stage of life where your kiddos are small and you are struggling with wondering if they will ever move on and get to the next _____ (you fill that blank in), let me assure you, it WILL come, and VERY fast!! So today, enjoy every minute of it.
I had a friend ask me the other day, “How can you take photos of all these squishy cutie babies and not want another??”
I can only say, my baby itch continues to be filled in fabulous clients… I must keep photographing them or another Feder may appear!!
Here is baby Liam and his sweet family, perfect and beautiful!
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
