I photographed the Richmond family on a stunning spring day. We met at Arneson Acres in Edina and it was so lovely! The kids were so adorable and had so much love for both each other and their parents. I had a blast getting to capture their family at this sweet stage!

The Richmond Family

In-home newborn sessions are cozy in and of itself, but winter newborn sessions when it’s snowing outside? SO cozy. When you live in snowy Minnesota, you gotta capitalize! We did just that, and spent the first half cozy inside, reading and hanging out, and ended the session getting all bundled and going outside to play […]

I’m so excited to be adding this beautiful family session to the blog! Loved my time with the Schreier family on this gloomy but beautiful fall day! One thing I’ve learned over the years photographing toddlers and little kids is that you’ll always get the best results when you work with the kids and let […]

This past summer I was fortunate enough to get to photograph my two friends, Teel and Melody’s engagement session at Loyola University in Chicago. There’s a spot by the lake on campus that means a lot to them and their relationship, so it was really special to get to document them there. If you’re ever […]

I photographed the Sextons last year soon after their little girl was born (you can see photos from that session here), so getting to come back and photograph them about 9 or 10 months later and see how both kids had grown and changed was really really special. One of my absolute favorite things about […]

It was so special to photograph my cousins family this spring at Arneson Acres in Edina! It was a gorgeous evening filled with really beautiful light and some slightly crisp air…perfect running around weather. 🙂 The kids got to explore and move around and it resulted in some really beautiful + interactive images! I loved […]

I had the chance to take some photos of my sister and brother in-law’s family this past May on a sunny but chilly morning in Grand Marais, and it was so great! I photographed them a few years back as a family of three (before we were officially family). It was so special to be […]

I say this every time, but extended family sessions are so special! I loved my time with the Burger and Wall families. So much love in this crew, and it’s especially evident in these photos. We took these on a sunny afternoon at the lake. I’d be lying if I said the amount of sun […]
