Before Everly was born, I thought to myself, I should blog every month of her! Photos and little stories….that would be so fun! And, indeed, it would be fun! But MAN does a month fly by quickly making it hard enough for me to keep up with editing photos let alone writing about it. I will say though, I have kept up with her baby book and writing to her in a journal that I started...

Pregnancy was a perfect mix of ‘the good, the bad, the ugly’. The first trimester sickness and nausea and extreme exhaustion, the second trimester bliss that kept me feeling like I wanted to be pregnant forever…then that dreaded third trimester w...
As I am writing this, it's a classic Minnesota snow storm out my window. I am drinking tea and trying to convince myself to eat dates because I was told they're a good way to move you towards labor...and I am willing to try just about anything to get this girl out of me soon! I am 37 weeks in 2 days and then it is fair game, and I can't even begin to tell you how many prayers I h...
As classic millennials, here we are planning a party to celebrate our unborn child to share with our close friends and family if we are having a little boy or girl!! As dorky of a party idea, it was seriously so fun to get together, decorate the house all blue and pink, make tons of cute and dorky treats and celebrate this tiny one!!
On Thursday, Jake and I went into the OB for ou...
This little lady has captured my heart. She makes me work my butt off and i've maybe seen her smile only HALF of a time. Stone cold, serious little girl yet I am just so captivated by her...her perfect lips and dazzling eyes. This little lady is a wonder! At her 6 month shoot, we made her lay in the middle of a field of flowers and now, for her 9 month fall photos, we made her...
this was a seriously magical week away in such an absolutely incredible place! there isn't much more refreshing than the chance to get away from life with the people you love! Jake and I have grown to love camping for the sake of being away from everything that keeps us busy at home from responding to emails, cleaning and working on the house, or just filling up our weekends acci...
mini sessions this year were so sweet, an absolutely lovely and surprisingly refreshing weekend! last year, having never had a fall as a photographer before, I scheduled minis amidst the busiest time of the season and decided to pack in as many as I possibly could into one weekend! well...I survived to tell about it, but it wasn't pretty! back-to-back shoots all day long just to...
I'm a little late to the game on many of my blog posts! I want to send out a few quick re-caps for the ones i missed just to showcase some more images from each of these gorgeous sessions and the beautiful people I have the absolute privilege of working with!
Back in July, I met the most tiny and adorable little Lila Jo. honestly "morning" sickness was kicking my butt that day an...
I know I know, I say it every time: my clients are a dream and photographing their love brings me to life!!! This session was no exception! Last week I worked a super long week nannying….12 hour days, a 60 hour week in total! All the long days with little kids PLUS this pregnancy fatigue I honestly didn’t know if I could make it through the week! I caught myself wondering if I sh...
We have been hiding a very fun secret for a while now and I’m seriously the HAPPIEST ever to finally share this news!! Coming March 2019, little baby Tastad will be joining our crew! These past 12 weeks have been filled with more joy and anticipation than I would have ever expected! It has been the absolute BEST season of life getting to tell all of our friends and family the big...
