closeI love it when clients are open to trying new ideas! I brought Lauren and Wade to the 101 Market this spring to do some maternity photos of their long awaited twins (which I get to photograph this weekend!!). This is just part one of this maternity session because we added their 18 month old to make it a family session later in the evening!
More to come next week, but for today, enjoy this beautiful family!
The Nagel’s are near to my heart! Their February wedding was just stunning and they braved the cold and snow to get some beautiful photos! Next month they are expecting their first little girl! I was thrilled to see them again and capture the beauty of this beautiful stage!
I am always thrilled to find out when friends are having babies, and Angie is no different! I have been photographing her family from when they first had Nora, then on to Levi, and now to this next sweet baby! I have been able to watch their family grow and change over the years which has been a huge blessing. When Angie asked if I could do her possibly last maternity session, we knew we had to try for something different and fun. After re-scheduling, no joke, 3 times because of the spring monsoons, we were finally able to get a day that was sunny and free of showers! Here are a few from our fun session together!!
LOVE all the pics Karen! And it was fun to look back on our previous sessions, too. Wow–the kids grow up so fast! Days are long but years are short. So true!
I simply can not wait! Last year my sister and her husband were married and when they came to us this spring telling us they had a great surprise for us, it was all I could do to hope and wish for a new baby!! But being that they had just been married, I didn’t even want to ask the questions. Lo and behold they surprised us with an ultrasound photo of my newest niece or nephew to arrive in September. I simply can not wait as I can again ward off my baby itch and wait to find out what they will be having!!
Special thanks to the Golden Valley Bachmans for allowing us to utilize their space!!
This past weekend I not only was blessed to celebrate Mother’s day with my own mom, but blessed to be able to photograph to beautiful women who will celebrate being momma’s this year by adding another (or 2!) to their family!
Lauren and Wade

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
