closeMeet the Kuempel family. The ABCDE family; Anne, Bryan, Cade, Drew, and Eli. The boys are in order too.
Cade is the oldest, then, Drew, then, Eli. This was not on purpose, it just happened.
They are full of energy and have a great sense of humor. Anne’s family loves being out side and doing anything active, which showed up a number of times during our shoot. I had a blast with this great family and can not wait to see them soon!
And what a beautiful Minnesota weekend to shoot in! Far from the 50 degree fall like weather we all expect, but 85 and sunny, much more like August. I would love to have this trend continue! Here are some of my highlights from the weekend!

It was an incredible weekend. Candace and Keith’s rehearsal dinner started the weekend out on a cruise ship of the Mississippi. I was so fortunate to be invited to join and document the evening. It was a pleasure and I so much enjoyed getting to know many of these out of state guests. They were all full of emotion! More to come next week of the entire wedding!
This is the cutest RD I have seen that is on the water!!! Please let me know if we have ur permission to showcase them on my site that is all about rehearsal dinner planning. http://www.RehearsalDinnerGuide.com/new
Thank you,

It was just another day in the park, with an adorable couple and 2 year old! Janell and I grew up together in those odd and crazy years of middle school and then into high school. Because we went to different high school’s we didn’t get to see each other often, but when we did it was always a sweet time! I was so happy to get to see her again and have the opportunity to photograph her beautiful family!
My past week included 2 client meetings, 4 shoots, one rehearsal dinner, an all day wedding and a trip to the apple orchard. This week is looking very similar, bring on the fall! I have 2 fall sessions left, so if you are interested, please e-mail me!

Minnetonka Orchard with my kiddos!
From their engagement session, to their wedding, to the birth of their first daughter and now to their second, it’s been a joy and honor to be able to photograph couples like the Wargo’s as their life changes.
It’s what makes my job so meaningful and fulfilling! Congratulations Hannah and Jake, your family is beautiful!
Including siblings in your newborn session… yes or no?
My answer is always yes.
It might feel a little chaotic in the moment, but those are often the images you end up treasuring the most—the real connection, the tiny interactions, the beginning of a new family story.
I’ve loved watching the Luong family grow through all three of their children’s newborn sessions, and those sibling moments are always some of my favorites.
If you’re wondering how it all works (and how we make it easy), I wrote a full blog post about it! Check it out in my stories
