closeThese next few weeks I am taking you back to those warm summer days. In the midst of the chilling cold, there are plenty of photos to be had, but I am craving the warmth of summer and this family embodies the fullness of a Minnesota summer day. The lake, a festival, and a warm summer breeze only added to the fun I had with the Childs family!
Of course I have to dote on this little one because she is my sweet niece! When my sister announced her pregnancy and we did their first maternity session my heart was overflowing with joy! I couldn’t wait to see my sister as a mommy and knew that she would be so good at it! Of course she is amazing as he continues to blow me away with mothering,owning a business with her husband and working part time. Back in September we snapped these of her sweet new family, I am so proud of her and just love my sweet niece, I am sure you will see much more of her on the blog!!
Karen:
What an adorable baby girl! Of course, since she’s my GRANDniece I cannot help but exclaim over her!
Your photos simply capture her beauty and the joy of her parents on her blessed arrival in their family. I admire your work and look forward to seeing more of Miss Julie.
From her newborn photos, to her six month photos, this baby girl is amazingly adorable!! Her one year session brought me all smiles as she took to her cake and enjoyed every bite of it!!
I am such a sucker for little boys, and these little guys steal my heart every time! Now that their sweet sister has come in to the picture, I am drooling over her as well! I have been photographing Katie and Troy and their kids for almost 4 years now, and each and every time it is an honor and a blessing. This time around was no different. Here are a few from the new studio and as you can see, we were all loving it!!
If you are interested in booking a studio session, please contact me for more details!
I love seeing the Jensen’s and when I heard Shannon was expecting her 2nd, I have to say I was thrilled for not only her, but for her sweet daughter!!
Sweet Emily arrived before Christmas which proved for a perfect time for family photos!
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
