closeA month ago I spent the afternoon with a great friend of mine and her baby Max. I always love photographing babies. Max was smiling the afternoon away, especially when his mommy spoke. He was melting our hearts with his beautiful grin! Here are some we were able to capture that afternoon!
It is always such a joy to see previous clients! Nikkole and Troy were married back in 2007, and I was fortunate enough to be a part of their beautiful wedding day. Early November Kate arrived gracing the Zierden home with her presence. Coming early, she gave Nikkole and Troy a great surprise. She is tiny, beautiful, and already full of spunk! (What other 7 week old can hold up her head and look completely fashionable in a bomber hat?!) Thanks Zierdens for letting me into your home!
She booked me before her C-section. Just to have those very newborn shots. I was thrilled to get together with Mary and her family again and to meet the newest member of their family. Being just 20 months apart, Marissa doted on her new baby sister and lovingly gave her kisses during the session. It was so sweet to capture.
Sunday afternoon’s are one of the times that the Bolduc Family is able to spend together. I was able to spend about an hour with them, and after meeting them, I felt like I was family. The kids were so welcoming and helpful and FUN!! They had some terrific ideas that we incorporated into the shoot, but dad ended up with the best one to end the shoot… a gigantic snowball fight!! Game on!!
I had the wonderful privilege of meeting little Lucas the first week of his life! The Wrights were kind enough to let me into their home, photograph this new little guy and let their other 3 kiddos jump on their bed while I snapped some real family moments! Thank you Wrights, your family of six is 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
