What’s not to love about a little boy? What about two little boys!!?! This little guy was so excited for his little brother to join him in the world, and I was so thrilled to be able to photograph them all in these early days.

I just LOVE the sweetness of a new baby. Thankfully I continue to get my fix from OTHER people’s children! Sweet Evelyn was so wonderful for her first shoot. She slept the entire way through and hardly made a peep! Her head of hair was amazing as were her itty-bitty everything else! 









I absolutely love when families incorporate their pets into photos, but honestly, with a newborn that can sometimes be so hard. But THIS DOG blew me out of the water. I was in awe the way Nacho watched over his sweet Zane as it it were his own puppy, (maybe he thought it was?!) Big props to his parents who trained him well and created this honey of a baby! I was so blessed by all of them and their love for one another!!







Love, love, love this family!! When I received word that a new baby boy would be added to this family I was overjoyed. Not only is he blessed by amazing parents, his extended family is just as amazing!! I met the Green’s in studio for some photos of all of them and baby Wes only a week old!! Can’t wait to watch him grow along side his brothers!!

I have to tell you, this weekend was incredibly emotional for me. Not only was I incredibly blessed to hang out for 24 hours with my college girlfriends and connect with them, hear their stories and what they have been through in life, I also visited one of my best friends from high school and photographed her miracle baby. In addition I photographed a daddy returning home to his family after months serving our country. My heart is incredibly full!


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
