I am thrilled. Ok beyond thrilled, overjoyed, excited and maybe a little giddy…
Finally, after months and months of trying and waiting, the new web-site has been launched. It comes just in time for the new year, which is packed with new things! I have to say I am incredibly blessed.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

One of my favs from the site! A July wedding!
I had the wonderful privilege of being a second shooter for my very good friend Kate at Jessica and Bryan’s beautiful fall wedding. It is always fun for me to be able to look at a couple from a different angle and be able to see some of the details that I would not otherwise see.
They were such an awesome couple and so laid back. We had a fabulous day for shooting, and props to them for doing most of the pre-wedding photos outside. Being from CA, I think they were a little taken aback with the crispness of the fall. But they endured and were beautiful through it all!
Love this one of Jess and her father, his expression is priceless!
Grandpa on his pipe, I love it. You don’t get to see many of these anymore.
My F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E. shot of the day. So fall in MN.
Here’s Kate at her best. She was a Rockstar! Thanks again for letting me be a part of the day! I am always inspired and amazed to be around people that love what I do and are totally passionate about not only the field, but the people!
Thanks Karen! You were the Rockstar! 🙂
One of my favorite intimate weddings yet! Dan and Kirsten are just such an amazing couple. When I first met with Kirsten we hit it off right away, being that our best friends are sisters. I could hardly contain myself when she told me that their wedding was going to be an intimate one, with only 30 of their closest friends and family to be invited. This allowed me to be able to be more creative because we had a very lose time line to stick to and many of the photos included all the people that were already there. The rain and mist did not hold us back, we just used it for all it was worth, bringing out umbrellas and enjoying the company of close friends. Breck High School chapel held the beautiful ceremony and Interlachen Country club in Edina hosted the party. I got a glimpse on how beautiful this love is between Dan Kirsten and wish them all the best! Blessings!
My assistant and I were drooling over Kirsten’s amazing vintage style dress, we absolutely LOVED it!
Kirsten MADE all the flower arrangements. They were so beautiful!
I had to post a few from my wedding on Friday, yes another day of rain, but OH MY, what a stunning couple. More details and photos to come, stay posted!
I have had the honor and privilege of knowing Jessica since we were in middle school. We grew up going to the same camp and saw each other every summer. Later in life I learned that she would be going to Northwestern college and became one of my sister’s best friends; we were able to see each other on a more regular basis. When she told me in March that she was engaged, I was so happy for her and Luke. The two of them met through mutual friends and hit it off right away when they found out that they were both in ministry.
They are an amazing couple and had an amazing day for photos. Throughout the morning it was off and on raining, but when we hit our period to shoot downtown photos, God smiled upon us and held off the rain from the time we started until the time we finished. Literally as we were getting into our cars the rain became a slight mist into constant drizzle for the rest of the day!
The little ring bearer decided he would have his moment to shine, the umbrella was his as was the spotlight!
We were able to hit the very end of the mill city farmers market. We walked through the area and found a lot to shoot.
We ended the day with a big ” We did it!” Congrats to both of you, may the Lord make His face shine down upon you as you enter this beautiful covenant called marriage.
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!
