We were so lucky on Julie & Kyle’s wedding day, the sun came out and the day was beautiful! The weeks prior, I think it rained every single day! I loved the special touch the bride added with surprising her groom with the beautiful sound of her Uncle playing bagpipes as they exited the church. Thanks so much for having us photograph your beautiful day!

As I walked in the door to photograph these two sweet-peas, I was eager to see how everyone had grown. I think after a few minutes of shooting and getting used to my big camera, Ben states to me, “these are my Saturday shoes!”, to which I replied, “Wow, they are really great!” and he said back, “I know!”. I love how innocent children are, how they simply state what is. Ben’s grown into such a great brother, in fact I heard many times, “Mary’s my best friend”. Mary is the newest member to the family and I absolutely adore her! Such a beautiful day, beautiful people and a beautiful shoot! Thanks so much for welcoming me into your new home!



















I still don’t know what the story was about, but this little man laughed and laughed at what he was telling me!

I get a quote emailed to me every day from an online quote site. I think it started as spam and then I started to actually kind of like some of the quotes. I got this one and thought it was interested and thought I’d share.
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

Natalie & Dusty were married the Saturday Minneapolis saw the first snow fall of the season. The snow however dissipated by afternoon and the day was beautiful! I absolutely loved Natalie’s dress, a Matthew Christopher, it had a mix of ruffles and beading, which fit her perfectly! Bridesmaids wore Melissa Sweet dresses in an accent color of purple. With flowers in the deepest reds, the added color was perfect for their October nuptials! The wedding ceremony took place at Our Lady of the Lake in Mound, with a reception at the Lafayette Country Club. Thank you Natalie & Dusty for having us photograph your beautiful wedding! Congratulations!

We got together at the studio for a laid back pregnancy shoot. Baby is due in January and I cannot wait to meet this little Capricorn! Stay tuned for much much more!
