Minneapolis, MN:: Engagement Session

Tags: engaged, Minneapolis, MInneapolsi engagement session, ring bling, stone arch bridge engagement session

Bring on summer and engagement sessions. It’s been such a joy to connect with so many couples and get ready for thieir weddings. It’s amazing how fast these weddings are creeping up on me. Nicole was a bridesmaid in a wedding I shot back in 2018, and when she and Cameron reached out this past winter, I was thrilled to connect over Zoom. It’s such an honor when I recieve referrals from past brides.

Cameron and Nicole chose to do their spring engagement session at St. Anthony and Main in Minneapolis. They decided to do a sunrise session to avoid the crowds of the area. We chose to meet at Aster cafe and made out way to the iconic photo spot in Minneapolis, Stone Arch Bridge. We then made our way to the Machine Shop, where the light colored brick was a perfect pairing with Nicole and Cameron’s classic black and white outfits.. As we walked we were able to chat about thier wedidng day and bring their perfectly behaved and sweet Bernadoodle around with us. I just love the way Nicole and Cameron love and respect one another and know their marraige will be the same way.

I loved the three different outfits Nicole and Cameron decided on, everything from casual to dressy. The colors popped against the green leaves and were perfectly paired with the lilacs and crabapple blossoms.Being that it as so early, we avoided most of the crowds that generally populate the area. We ended our session at Nicolette Island Park with photos at the park and the Hennipen Bridge as a backdrop.The sun refused to make it’s appearance, but it didn’t matter one bit as we strolled the park together. I can’t wait to see Nicole and Cameron again for their September wedding at Woodhaven. Congaulations you two!

Rogers, MN :: Family Session

Tags: Family, family session, minneapolis family, minnesota family, rogers, rogers family, rogers family session

Over the years I have met so many people including the kind and wonderful Christenson family. Ruth and I met when our girls were only 6 months old in a music class we both took together. Over the years we continued seeing each other as the kids grew up. I was able to photograph them as they grew and changed, and eventually we both moved out of the city and landed in the same suburb not many miles away from each other and within the past year ended up at the same church.

As the kids have grown, I have been blessed to see them grow up. two years ago I photographed her son as a senior and this year, her daughter. Unfortunately for us, but fortunatelly for them, their family has now landed in a southern state where their kids will be attending college.

I’m sad to see this incredible family move away, but so excited as they take on this new adventure of being Midwesterners to Southerners… I know they will do it so well, but we sure will miss them!

Minnetonka :: Newborn Session

Tags: baby session, minnesota newborn session, newborn, newborn session, newborns

It has been an honor getting to know Emily and her family over the years. In 2018 we met one snowy morning to do her maternity photos and from there, I have photographed her daughter as a teeny baby with a full head of beautiful hair, to now being a preschool sweetheart.

When Emily and Derrick found out they were having a little boy, Emily reached out again and a few months ago we did her maternity session. Upon meeting this little one, I realized how much he looked like his sister, with that full head of hair, but how much his family was so gad to have him.

With so much love to go around, I can’t wait to keep seeing this family over the year and watching this little man grow! Congratulations Emily and Derrick!

Bunker Hills:: Engagement Session

When I booked Tom and Emilie’s engagement session this past winter, I knew I would be excited for spring. Because they wanted a more natural and relaxed vibe for their photos and were wanting some place close to them, we chose the beautiful Bunker Hills Park location. This spring has been so back and forth with weather that we actually lucked out with a pleasant and beautiful spring evening.

We began the session in the fields surrounding the park and then found a few trees that were in full bloom. The sun decided to peak out at just the right moment creating such a warm and serene glow for the photos. We then wandered down to a bridge that held tall grasses and created a perfect backdrop for the feel Emilie and Tom were going for. Both Emilie and Tom chose pastel colors for their outfits that photographed well with the spring colors. We had such a great time together and chatted a lot throughout the session.

It has been so great getting to know Emilie and Tom through the wedding planning process. The two will be wed at Immaculate heart of Mary Church in St. Paul and celebrate with guests at Mendakota Country Club. I simply can not wait!

Central Park:: Roseville Family Session

There is never (ever) a dull moment when there are two little boys under the age of four being photographed. I met the Evens family at the beautiful Central Park in Roseville. Complete with fountains, gardens, and a field to run in, it was not only the perfect place for photos, but the perfect place for two little boys.

We began our session on paths and grass where the boys could run off a little energy and then be excited for photos. We dodged a few rain clouds and ended up under trees while dad tickled the boys to keep them distracted and eventually the sun shown through to give us an incredible golden hour.

The end of the session ended at the beautiful fountain, and of course, water was played in, laughs were had and family photos were checked off the list for another year! I can not wait to see this family again this fall for more running, games and of course, photos!
