A Fall Minneapolis Engagement Session


These two humans. I was so excited for their engagement session this fall. First, we had the most perfect fall colors that held on for them and second, as it will be no surprise to you as you look through their engagement photos, Julie is an extremely talented make-up artist and just an overall creative person. She has been on many big time photo and tv sets, I just knew that anything this woman touches will be brilliant!

I was so incredibly inspired by the three outfit looks she pulled together that my creative meter was going a little nuts especially when we hit this final location. Water, cliffs and leaves. OH MY! It was so much fun to bring our vision to life during their fall Minneapolis engagement session. And while my girl Julie knows how to rock the serene model look, it was such a joy to also capture their adorable childlike love for one another. Their big huge laughs and smiles still make my heart swell. These are just a few reasons why I’m so excited to document their wedding next year!

Please do yourself a favor if you need make-up styling or even just to stare at some beautiful talent, and get over and checkout Julie’s work here.

Enjoy!

An In-Home Newborn Session in Minneapolis


Two loving parents, a gorgeous nursery, the dreamiest light, a fur baby … all make my afternoon with this family a photographer’s dream for their in-home newborn session in Minneapolis. Y’all can this nursery be my sleeping space?!? I just love the tones and all the details! So relaxing and simple!

This little guy surprised his parents with how big he was and a reddish tint to his hair. They couldn’t be more smitten with him, and – so was I. Mom and Dad didn’t for one bit feel like new parents to me! Daddy couldn’t have been more of a natural and was comfortable soothing his new son right out of the gates. What a blessing to be invited into their home to document these precious moments!

Enjoy!

A Cozy Winter Minneapolis Engagement Session


After last nights Intentional Holidays class over at The Influence Network, I’m definitely getting into the holiday spirit. So, I thought I’d bring you a favorite engagement session that feels cozy and Christmas-y. Revisiting these images made my heart remember one of the biggest reasons I love being a photographer.

You see, there is a special moment that I wait for with anticipation during each of my sessions. It usually happens a couple poses in, when my clients get used the goofy girl behind the camera. They realize that I am not going to make them uncomfortable and over-posed. They see how I use movement and then……then it happens.

The moment of real pure connection.

It’s an incredible honor to witness this moment where I as the photographer see a glimpse into the real guards-down human being that they are and y’all, it’s freaking beautiful. Whether it’s the first time a couple REALLY looks at each other. When a momma puts her tickle fingers and her little one is oozing with anticipation. A goofy laugh while feeling like a nerd “trot-running” for an image.

THIS is what I am after when I photograph others.

All of my energy is spent working on pulling these moments back out after the first glimpse and capturing them in your final images. My hope is that I do this so subtly that you don’t even notice until you get that gallery delivered. You open them up and see yourself, your relationship, your family just as they are. Beautiful. No fake smiles, but connections full of Joy.

Joy that sometimes is easy to get lost in the everyday. My hope and desire is that my imagery helps you champion and remember that joy for years and generations to come.

Another one of my most favorite engagement sessions I have ever photographed and I have never shared it over here on the blog?!?! You might recognize these faces from their beautiful wedding. Y’all, what a dream these two are to photograph. These two are so ridiculously adorable. And I still can’t get these outfits out of my head. They feel so festive, so style points Kyle and Meghan! And the Tulle skirt? Right? In love times a million!

Loving winter themed photos? Then you’ll love their winter wedding and can check it out here. You NEED to see her dress. I was in love at first sight.
