Good morning to you all and happy Monday!! I got to visit with a wonderful family this weekend and get their fast growing baby boy’s sweet moments captured!!

I am such a sucker for little boys, and these little guys steal my heart every time! Now that their sweet sister has come in to the picture, I am drooling over her as well! I have been photographing Katie and Troy and their kids for almost 4 years now, and each and every time it is an honor and a blessing. This time around was no different. Here are a few from the new studio and as you can see, we were all loving it!!
If you are interested in booking a studio session, please contact me for more details!








I love seeing the Jensen’s and when I heard Shannon was expecting her 2nd, I have to say I was thrilled for not only her, but for her sweet daughter!!
Sweet Emily arrived before Christmas which proved for a perfect time for family photos!





What a year it was! So great to see so many familiar faces and meet new one’s! Next week I will take a look back at some of my favorite moments of the 2013 year and let you know what is in store for 2014! Enjoy your first full weekend of the 2014 year, I will be starting it off with a bang as I shoot two amazing winter weddings!!

Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
