closeI am always amazed. Every time I go to visit my baby sister, she shows me more and more what a great mom she is…. one that I strive to be like.
I was able to visit her family a few weeks ago and document their sweet family.
And we had to get all the cousins together… Can’t believe how old they are getting!
To end the shoot, and the bribe… ICE CREAM!!
Yet another week has gone by in the month of July, and I was able to photograph a beautiful family as well as a fabulous wedding!
More to come… Happy Monday!
Wenzal Family
Trevor and Jana
She is amazing at planning parties, taking pictures, creating invitations and baby announcements, organizing and hosting 20 kids at one time, being a mom, excellent wife, and working to raise money for kids, and I am so glad I am able to call her one of my good friends! In June I was able to take my friend Angie and her family out to Lake Minnetonka for their family photos! I just love her spunky little 3 year old, Nora. We played 20 questions throughout the shoot, which probably turned into 100 questions during the ride home and into the week!
And to end the session we hit up Ben and Jerry’s for the long awaited ice cream!
How did I miss this post??? Thanks for taking such awesome pics for our family Karen! You are such a talented photographer!
The Short and Sweet sessions were perfectly timed for the Nelson family. Their little one, Sawyer, was being dedicated that Sunday and the entire Nelson family was up visiting from Nebraska. Andrea wanted a full family photo, including Sawyer’s great-grandparents (who were sooo sweet!)
i couldn’t help it, as soon as I saw the picture of the hands holding each other, my eyes filled with tears! It’s so sweat and meaningful, so much in one picture there.
I just love seeing good friends. Jeremy and Beth just had their third little one this spring. They were able to take advantage of the Short and Sweet sessions, and I was glad we were able to see each other again!
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
