Maple Grove Maternity Session:: Aslesen Family

One of my greatest joys as a photographer is to continue to see clients throughout the years and watch their families grow. Emily and Neal have become friends and as they continue to grow their family, I LOVE seeing them.

At our last session, Emily told me they were expecting and we all jumped for joy when they found out that baby GIRL was going to make her arrival this spring. The past few maternity sessions with the Asleson’s have been a blast and when Emily asked if we could stay close to home, we we lucky enough to find this marshy area right behind their Maple Grove home.

After a week of negative temps, it was such a gift to have a day almost in the 40’s and little to no wind. We all stayed relatively warm for a February day and Emily’s beautiful blush dress was the perfect accent to the snow and gold grasses. I simply can not wait to see this family again and see how these boys are such wonderful big brothers to their little sister!

    Minneapolis, MN:: Newborn Session

    I absolutely love meeting new families and the sweet little ones that they bring home. I was able to head out on a cold winter day in Minneapolis to meet this family. At the start to the session, there was a little tentativeness to photos, but as the books came out and songs ensued, there was only fun to be had.

    We began out session in the bright, well lit family room and then moved to the bedroom where we read books, sang songs and snuggled. We moved to the nursery for some photos and had a sleeping babe almost the entire time!

    It was an honor photographing this kind Minneapolis family, and I simply can not wait to see them in a few months. It really is incredible how fast kiddos grow up and documenting these stages makes me so happy! I hope to see many of you again soon!

      Maple Grove Studio Session:: Thompson Family

      It was a mere 6 months ago that I was with Calen and Tom meeting Tate for the first time. It’s incredible the amount of growth that happens within the first year! This time around Tate looked way more like a big kid and was smiling, rolling, sitting and babbling away. He was incredible for his session and I can not wait as he continues to grow!

      We found a cute and quaint studio in Maple grove that was filled with lush decor and even a beautiful floral instillation. It was the perfect space for Tate’s six month photos!

        Why I love Online meetings

        Technology is a beautiful thing, and I love using it in business.  If this last year has taught me anything, it’s that online meetings are just as productive as in person meetings. One thing I am loving a lot these days are online meetings and here are 3 reasons why!

        1. It’s a time saver.  As much as I love meeting client in person and seeing right in front of me how a couple interacts, I also LOVE the ease and comfort of ducking into my office, closing the door and jumping on a call. No drive time required for anyone, and let’s face it, sometimes it is just hard to find time in our busy lives to put a meeting on the calendar and then GET there!
        2. I can connect with couples all over the world.  This past month alone, I scheduled meeting times with clients in Texas, Chicago and DC, and just a few hours away.  Never before in history have we been able to do this, and I think its pretty amazing.
        3. Sweats and leggings are ok.  Typically when I am headed out to a meeting, I do dress in work attire, but when I’m sitting at home, there is the comfort and ease of pulling on a nice shirt and just keeping my leggings on!

        Don’t get me wrong, I am still a huge advocate for in person meetings, and if you are in the Cities, I’d love to take you out for coffee, but there are those times its not always an option. So weather a Skype meeting, FaceTime meeting, Zoom or Messenger meeting, I am all for them! Hope to connect with you soon!
