closeOne of my very favorite things is growing with families. I absolutely love the fact that I get to start with them early and be able to watch their kids grow! The Williams family have been long time clients turned friends. I was able to photograph Jack when he first arrived along with their 2 other kiddos and Katie’s sister’s wedding. They are very near and dear to my heart, and I am overjoyed to be celebrating with them on the very soon arrival of their 4th child this fall!!
I absolutely love seeing clients again for different reasons, and seeing Amy and John again to photograph the almost arrival of their son was amazing!! We had such a great time with their two sweet doggies and laughing in fields and a green house! Congrats to you both!!
It was last minute. They decide to come to the place where I was already doing a session just for one last maternity session. Not knowing that their little one would arrive only 20 hours later. Right after a beautiful rain storm, the sun was setting and the fall field was aglow with the beautiful golden light, we were able to get some photos of Julia while still inside here mommy!
Love the photo of the shoes – parents’ and the baby-to-be’s – side by side!
One can never have enough photos of precious moments like these. Good job, Karen, especially considering the folks you had to work with. LOL! My nephew and niece-in-love ARE photogenic!
I love the city. I love Chicago. And I love this family. Visiting Chicago means visiting this wonderful family and this time around, I was photographing their newest addition due this winter.
Part 2 of this awesome included their 18 month old son, Max. He was as sweet as ever and rockin out the bright green suspenders!!
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
