closeIt was a strange week. Starting with a snowstorm and ending with a beautiful 60-70 degree day. A week filled with visiting cousins, running 10 miles (only 2 weeks left until my first half marathon!), coffee and running dates with my four year old, spring in the air, and our first invite to a grad party! Hope your week was just as great!
*Sigh* When will spring get here?!
I have been desperately trying not to complain because, after all, I choose to live in Minnesota. I choose to take in the mid -April snowstorms, and shoveling, and scraping and the mid-50 degree tease only the next day to deal with blowing winds. I choose to stomp in inches of snow and contemplate bringing out my hairdryer just to see the grass again. But alas, I will not complain. I will be a true Minnesotan and take it all in one day at a time!
This week, through shoveling, scraping and washing snow pants 3 times, we got in a date night, a shopping trip, dinner with friends and their 18month old son, a trip to the Walker, and smoothies!! We mailed off our dreaded taxes, stopped by to have coffee with my friend and old neighbor, had a shaving cream day with Ben, had 2 spring sessions get re-scheduled because of the weather and stayed home with the kids because of a snow(ed in) day!
It was a blessed week, but I have to be honest, I am really hoping next week you will be seeing lots of outside photos, minus the snow!!
Have a great weekend!
Happy Friday from the snowy state of Minnesota! This past weekend I was able to get away with some of my college girlfriends. We met at a half way point in the beautiful city of Mason City Iowa! Really we don’t need that much, a place to sleep, coffee shop, and restaurants, and we have a 24 hour gab feast! My awesome friend Angie was able to captured the weekend perfectly and we talked our hears out! I also attended 2 of my kids spring (ha!) concerts, got a much needed pedi, relaxed in a snowstorm, picked up props for a future shoot, and aquired an awesome coffee mug from one of my aunts! It was a great week,–minus the snow!! Have a great weekend!
Love it Kar! This is a very cool tradition you’re starting:)
I wanted a challenge a way to keep me accountable to actually uploading and putting all my photos from my phone onto my computer and then actually organizing them!! I decided to put a project to it and after seeing numerous posts on other blogs, took the idea and ran with it. So here is my challenge to you as well as myself, every Friday, upload all those wonderful photos you take of your family, your pets, events, cool things from the week and LOAD them to your computer or hard drive and have some fun with them! I am putting myself to the test and putting it out there for you, internet, to hold me accountable to!
So without further adu, here is my week ranging from spring break, meeting my newest niece, dinner with my in-laws, dying Easter eggs, a youth event, and a spring run! What did you do?!
Have a great weekend!!
No one said you had to do newborn photos inside! Taking lifestyle newborn photos outside and making them true to your style makes them even more meaningful and significant!!
“When should we schedule newborn photos?”
If you’re expecting (whether it’s your first baby or you’re adding to your crew), this is one of the most common questions I get
The sweet spot?
7–14 days after your baby arrives
Those early days are something special…
Your baby is still sleepy, snuggly, and curled up in that fresh, just-born way—and it changes so quickly.
But here’s what matters just as much:
You don’t have to go anywhere.
My newborn sessions take place in your home whether it’s a quiet morning with your first baby or a full, beautifully busy house with siblings running around.
No pressure. No perfect expectations.
Just your family, exactly as you are in this season.
If you’re thinking about newborn photos, I recommend reaching out during your second trimester so I can save space around your due date
I shared more about what to expect (and why timing matters) over on the blog link is in my bio!

On this gorgeous spring day, I find myself reliving Connor and Kristen’s wedding at Bavaria Downs.
An effortlessly timeless celebration layered with refined details, soft summer light, and a kind of beauty that never asks for attention, it simply exists. Every moment felt intentional, elegant, and deeply meaningful… the kind of day that lingers long after it’s over.
Truly, a wedding that defines what it means to be both classic and unforgettable.
If you’re envisioning a day that feels elevated, seamless, and entirely your own, I would be honored to document it.
