How cool is it when 2 people promise forever to each other at a place that means so much to them? That’s exactly what Hans and Anna did at Gooseberry Falls State Park in Northern Minnesota. They said their “I Do’s” on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior on a fall day with crisp air and […]

A year ago today I only dreamt of someday being able to photograph couples’ engagements, much less a wedding. So you can imagine my level of excitement/terror when I was asked to shoot my first wedding only a few months ago. Terror because I had never done anything like it, and excitement because I finally […]

I met Ryan and Jane here at North Park. Ryan was the RA of the floor beneath me my freshman year, and I never actually got to talk to Jane much until the start of this past school year–but long story short they are two great, Christ-loving individuals who, together, make one fantastic couple. When Jane […]

Remember this couple from the maternity session I shot a few months ago? Well, they had their sweet little girl not too long ago, and now they’re a beautiful little family of three. I love all sessions I do, but I cannot get over how much I love newborn sessions. There is so much natural emotion […]

Who says the pictures have to stop after you get married? Not me, that’s for sure.  I got to take my cousin + her husband’s 3 year anniversary photos, and what was so special about it was not only that it was their anniversary, but the fact that we took photos in the same place […]

I decided to make a recap post of all of my most favorite images from this past year. A little late, but better late than never, right?  As you may know, this was my first official year starting up my photography business, and while I have loved doing what I feel passionate about, it was not […]

Another “first” for me was this maternity session that I did last month. When Melissa asked me to photograph her and her husband in this special time in their lives, I was a little nervous, because what do I know about maternity? Well that’s simple: Not much. But what I do know is that pregnancy […]
