closeAfter another beautiful weekend, here is a honey pie to bring you joy on this Monday morning!
It seemed like only yesterday I was photographing sweet Finn’s photos and earlier this spring, I was able to meet his new baby brother. What a gift this sweet family is!!
I love my clients. I love being able to shoot their engagement session, getting to know them, spend their wedding day with them, but even more than that, I LOVE watching them grow their families. In 2011 I met Heather and Tyler and connected with them right away. They were easy-going, fun to be with and ran even around and rode bikes in the rain on their wedding day! So when Heather called to let me know that they were expecting and in need of newborn photos, I was thrilled. Their little peanut, only a mere 7 days old, was a gem to work with! She slept almost the entire time as we moved her from one location to the other. I can’t wait to see how she changes and grows in the next year!!
This little man slept through his entire session. He was incredible!!
I arrived as Lorna was putting the finishing touches on a sign she had made and when she showed me her son’s brand new nursery, my jaw dropped to the floor. I am always astounded as to how creative parents are when designing nursery’s, and this one was not to be missed!! Her sweet son was a complete angel as we went through his session. I simply can’t wait to reconnect with this family as they grow!!
Celebrating Sidney and Ryan today!!
Happy one year anniversary to you both!! What an incredible day we had, I hop your year has been just as amazing. Many blessings to you both!
Well… that sure went fast.
It feels like just yesterday we were dropping Lydia off at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, wondering what these next few years would hold for her. Today, we’re celebrating her graduation with a degree in communications.
Watching Lydia grow into such an incredible, Godly young woman has been one of the greatest gifts. Through her time serving students with Cru, she has poured so much love, encouragement, and faith into the lives of others. She leads with kindness, serves with humility, and cares for people so deeply.
We are endlessly proud of the woman she has become and so excited for this next chapter as she begins working in HR with Mayo Clinic in Wisconsin. There’s no doubt she will continue making people feel seen, valued, and cared for wherever she goes.
God has been so faithful through every step, and we can’t wait to see what He has ahead for you, Lydia.
Becoming an entrepreneur wasn’t easy. It took a lot of hard work in understanding what I wasn’t good at before understanding what I was good at. I failed a lot in the process.

We often only see the good things and success stories on social media, but getting to the point where we are confident in ourselves and our work takes time and lots of failures. Trust me. 25 years and still working at it!!
Spring at Lake Harriet gave us the dreamiest backdrop for Lindy + Arend’s engagement session. The blooms were at their absolute peak, the flowers were full and vibrant, and every corner felt like something out of a painting. These two made the whole evening feel effortless as we wandered through all the beauty that comes with Minnesota spring.
Now we’re counting down to their September wedding, when the scenery will look completely different filled with rich autumn colors and falling leaves but just as beautiful. I cannot wait to celebrate these two in a whole new season of life together!
If you’re recently engaged and dreaming up your own engagement session or wedding day, I’d love to connect
