A fresh day with a fresh baby. My morning was complete after I was able to photograph this sweet darling doll. She was a gem and slept through the entire session. I am sure she will continue to be this easy for her momma being the youngest of 3!!

Babies, and toddlers! Such a fun combination!! I absolutely LOVE seeing families where I was able to start documenting them as a couple on their wedding day and then continue to document their sweet family grow! It is a joy to me in this business! Here is sweet little Lily and her big sisters!!






Last week I got to visit yet another sweet little newborn! I can’t wait to show more of him and his sweet family!
Oh how I love babies!! This past week I was just thinking on how blessed I am, just about every other week this year, I have been able to meet and photograph a new little one. It is amazing how their families let me into their lives on these first precious days. Here are some of the tiny moments this sweet family let me into!








This little gem was born to a precious family that I have had the privilege photographing since they were married. It is a complete bleeding to watch families grow and change, and already I am sure these little ones have changed since this shoot!




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
