Whitetail Woods Regional Park is one of my favorite locations in the southern suburbs with so much variety. It’s an awesome spot year round with greenery in the summer, yellow in the fall, pines in the winter, and even rock areas in the spring when most everywhere else is bare trees and sticks! If you’re […]

5 years ago, I offered my first ever mini sessions for Valentine’s Day. I put together a little pink holiday setup in an empty bedroom, and decided to start my own business. One of my first Clients was Molly, which then led to taking photos of her sister Meg’s family too (pictured here). Actually, when […]

Such a beautiful lady, inside and out! Funny story- Alaisha started out the session telling me she isn’t photogenic and recently had photos taken that she didn’t love. I hear this so often, and promise you, you ARE photogenic, and I’m here to help you see just that! It’s my job to prompt posing in […]

Lebanon Hills is one of my favorite locations with lots of variety. A lake, greenery, open fields, woods, and paths make it very versatile, and no two sessions are the same! Added bonus, is that all of these spots are very close to the parking lot and easily walkable with little kids. And when the […]

The clothing you select to wear is one of the biggest variables to making your photos look a certain way! For newborn sessions, some tried and true neutral pieces– light colors, creamy whites, and textured fabrics such as knits, linens, or ribbed cottons– and these work for both baby and the rest of the family! […]

Every fall, I grab some updated photos of the Paige cousins.  This year, I found a new favorite spot along the river.  It’s about a 10 minute hike to get here, but it’s worth it every time!!

Took the kiddos to the pumpkin patch for hayrides, pumpkin selecting, apple picking, animal petting, donuts, apple slushees, applecrisp, apple cider, and fresh eggs. If you live in the southern suburbs, I HIGHLY recommend visiting Brand Farms in Farmington, Minnesota!! So glad we stumbled across this little gem!!

This snuggly studio session was a great option for a cold and wintery day!  Whether you’re in the middle of a move, you don’t feel like having visitors, or your house is limited in light, a studio is a great option for a family session!  I have a few go to options that photograph well, […]

How special this time is, of your family in your space you call home.  In home sessions are my favorite for a lot of reasons.  I can capture you and your family, but also the home you live in.  As our houses and decor constantly evolve, it’s an incredible thing to document this phase of […]

This nursery was straight out of a Pottery Barn magazine.  The pale pink walls and all of the details, still have me inspired.  Four kiddos, all so well behaved, did not bring any of the chaos I was expecting from a normal session!  Not sure what this Mama does to keep things so calm, but […]
