closeBack in 2011 I had the honor of photographing Carrie and her hubbie Michael, as well as seeing an old friend (her brother) Jason. This past winter, Jason was back to Minneapolis from Alaska visiting family with his sweet daughter and Carrie just had her first little girl. Their mother contacted me to do a family session of all of them together and this was the outcome! Sweet cousins!
Happy Spring!! In less than a month flowers will be blooming, the grass will be green, and we will have long forgotten winter’s blustery days!
I always look forward to these Short and Sweet sessions! After doing it for a number of years, it is always great to see past clients again and see how their families are changing and growing. This year I have added a session at Elm Creek Park and am bringing along vintage props! If this session is something you are interested in or need more info on, please let me know and I will happy to let you in on this fun session!
These sessions go fast, so let me know as soon as you can to book your day and time!! Looking forward to seeing you and your family!
would love the details and times available for elm creek.
Hello:
We got your name via my sister, Lindsey (Van Arman) Straub and Lindsay Halvorson. Would love to book one of your mini sesions for Sunday, May 19th at Elm Creek. I have 3 boys – age 5, age 4 and 6 months (in May). This would be a good chance for us to try and get a few shots of the boys together and the baby to mark the 6 month mark. He may be sitting up by then – or pretty close with a little prop behind him. Let us know what times are still available for that date and where we need to send payment to secure a timeslot.
Thanks,
Lisa Tanious
Tiny hands, tiny feet. Beautiful smiles, sweet puppy. Wonderful family.
How can you not just love a nine month old and their expressions! This little one and her family had plenty of them for me!
Monday again! Here we go! Grab a full cup of coffee and plunge into this week, it may be cold, but it will be great!
In this 2nd week of January, I have already been busy meeting and photographing some wonderful people!

Celebrating Sidney and Ryan today!!

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
