I love this sweet family, every time I see them they are grinning ear to ear and I can feel the warmth between them! This time around was not different, it was so great to see all of them and to be able to see how they have grown!

Ahh, such a blessing and joy to watch babies grow up. One day they are sweet and little, and before you know it they are smiling, crawling, talking and walking. I loved seeing this little one as a baby, but even more so in her 6 month state. She was such a ham for the photos and a perfect subject, laughing at me and with me almost the entire time.





I just had such a fun weekend with these families! I can’t wait to share more! Happy first week of June!! Can we officially say summer is here yet?!

Brown Family
I love being an auntie. My kids have built in best friends and I get the joy of not only doting on my nieces and nephews, but helping in the privilege of raising them. Reagan made her way into the world a few months back, so even since this photo, she has changed. She has already been well loved on by her own family, but also by ours. We were planning on being there a few days after she was born, but a major snowstorm (one of them!!) hit the area. We were all bummed to have missed a day of play together, but instead we were blessed with a long weekend and lots of cuddling with Reagan!


From the pudgy cheeks to the sweet cuddles to the laughter in the way they interacted with one another, I simply could not get enough of these two brothers and their family. I was able to photograph Owen even before he was born or even thought of. Watching and being able to interact in little ones lives like these is such a joy and make me feel like a kid again and make my day extremely bright. Green family you are 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
