closeBeing a toddler is hard work! Learning new things, exploring new places, and experiencing the world around them. This age is just about my favorite age to photograph because of all these factors. Elora made this session just as fun for me as she totted around and we chased after her. It was such a blessing to have my great friend Sarah bring her toddler out for me to photograph as we explored with her daughter!
You may recognize them because I have been photographing this completely adorable family since 2008 when their oldest was just one! Their sweet family continues to amaze me as they take on new adventures, but remain completely level headed, kind and family centered. This time around was no different and as always, I look forward to seeing the Sharbono’s each spring!!
Oh how sweet it is when families from differnt backgrounds come together an love on each other. This family is truly a testamony of true love between siblings. Even though they do the typical brother/ sister thing, I found so much respect and love within this family unit as we made our way around the Minneapolis Stone Arch Bridge!
Seeing these three again made my hear swell. They were sweet in the fall when I was able to see them, but what a winter will do! Here are a few from our session! I can’t wait to see them again this fall again!
The Nagel’s are near to my heart! Their February wedding was just stunning and they braved the cold and snow to get some beautiful photos! Next month they are expecting their first little girl! I was thrilled to see them again and capture the beauty of this beautiful stage!
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
