Finally the weather warmed and I was able to photograph Zach and Sam and their new little one. Sam’s red off the shoulder dress was perfect against the beautiful winter backdrop. A perfect winter day allowed us the photograph this beautiful maternity session.
I simply can not wait for sweet Elijah to be born, not only for his parents, but for me as a neighbor to watch this little one grow up! I’m so excited!!
Looking for a beautiful farm venue? Look no further than Redeemed Farm in Scandia, MN. A perfect location in between Taylor’s Falls and Stillwater, this location comes with so many different locations for photography.
One white barn and one red with a vineyard, field and gorgeous location for getting ready photos, you will not be disappointed. Your entire day based in one location and a photographer’s (well this one for sure!) dream to shoot in, add Redeemed Farm to your list of venues to look at as you hunt for the perfect location for your wedding, and I hope to be photographing you there!

Hey there friends. Thank you so much for following along and to all of you who reached out in ways of supporting me throughout this time! As of today, the stay at home order has been lifted in MN and we can get back to work safely!
May mini sessions are here and I will be doing a variety of them this summer and fall. Please e-mail me directly for times available, I hope to see so many of you! Sessions in the future will be held outdoors for summer and fall at a 6 foot distance and I will be complying with all CDC measures.

Getting family photos isn’t even easy for me. I hire my sweet friend Gina every year for a session and even after years of doing this, my family still doesn’t always love it!
Some ways we have learned over the years to make it more fun and easy for our teens….
1) Promise dinner after the session
2) Organize a shopping trip where they get to pick out the outfit they love and feel comfortable in. (I typically pick a color scheme and tell them they get to pick out an outfit within that scheme!)
3) Make it a short (we love mini sessions)
4) Bring in all the dad jokes and use them
5) Help them understand that they will appreciate and even be able to use the photos for their social pages and that it is a gift to mom. My husband always preps our kids by telling them that this is a gift to me. For some reason that seems to help!
What about you? Any tips you can share with me for the future? We are always looking to add to our list!
Happy Friday to you! Thanks for dropping by the blog today! I know there are about a thousand different places you could be right now, so thanks for taking a little time here! Amongst all that is going on in the world, I am choosing today to take a break, breath in deep and just be me. So here are a few things you may or may not know about me….
Now you go, tell me something I might not know about you!
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!
