closeLaughter. It is a trademark of the Hill family, they are just people you want to be around. It has been a joy to watch the kids as they continue to grow and change.
Some sneaks from the week! Happy Monday!
Baby Brooklyn
Melling Family
And just for fun… my babies!
Great photo of Brooklyn…. she is such a doll and you captured her beautifully!
Just a fabulous family. I was able to shoot Emily and Scott’s wedding back in 2007. From there, they moved down to Texas where they thought they would stay until this past spring when Scott found a job back in the Cities. When my fall special went out in August, Emily was one of the first to contact me. They are expecting a new baby girl to arrive this winter and I can’t wait to meet her!
Emily & Karen ~ These are beautiful! I just love seeing pics of your family, Emily…. you’re still one of my all-time favorite people! Karen ~ great job capturing them! Love it.
We had a great time, Karen. Thanks for the beautiful pictures!
Annette–you are fabulous 🙂
So, so fun sneaks form my week! I love each of these families and so glad we got a wonderfully beautiful week to shoot in! Enjoy your Halloween Monday!

I just love this family. Back in 2002, Laurie hired me to help her out with her five year old quadruplets and her seven year old son. It was such a life changing job for me as I was entering marriage and learning how to be a wife. So many of the things Laurie taught me I have instilled into my life as a mom and wife, so when she called to ask if I would take photos of her 17 year old senior and 15 year old quads, I was elated. It was wonderful to see them all again, and I look forward to more sessions in the future with them!
OMG. I love this family and I cannot believe everyone is so grown up. What a thrill to see this beautiful family. Please say hi to them for me. I worked with Mark (many years ago) and grew to love Laurie and their genuine love and light!
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
