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 and I was feeling so incredibly tired. but oh my gosh people, Lila is the most perfectly tiny litt

I love lifestyle newborn sessions so so much! the most natural place to get to know you and your family is...well, in your own home! being a part of your space and capturing all of the details you have pulled together to make it your home is such a privilege! this weekend I had the pleasure of meeting baby Douglas and his adorable parents! In classic Minnesota fashion, we were surprised with a day of dark clouds and thunder storms! As dreamy as those summer storms can be, its

Last week, a beautiful new soul entered our world. I lost sleep for days awaiting his arrival and i have cried countless happy tears many times over the last 9 months! But the day finally came and my heart could hardly handle it…heck, I’m crying already and I am only 2 sentences into this blog post… I remember this moment so clearly. Sitting on the floor in my friends playroom talking with Abbie while our husbands were cooking dinner for us. For some odd reason, I wasn’t que

this family has such a special place in my heart! I met them before their first son, Leo was even born interviewing to be the nanny for that not-yet-born baby! I was the lucky girl who got to hangout with sweet little Leo each day while his parents went to work! He and I filled our days with so many adventures getting to know his darling neighborhood and just about every free kid activity in town. This little boy is pure joy, he feels big emotions and loves fiercely. My hear

Oh, how lucky I have been this winter! Although the temps have been well below zero, I have been so blessed to be keeping busy with my all-time favorites: Lifestyle newborn! Each session I leave feeling more and more in love with this so called ‘job’! Almost every newborn session, one of the parents will mention how I am ‘the perfect person to be a newborn photographer’…and truly, I feel like I am recently discovering this for myself! When my hobby became a source of income b

The first time that I “officially” met Annalisa, she was carrying around a big secret. We switched our meet up location because she ‘wasn’t feeling well’ but thought bagels sounded pretty good! A pretty clear sign of morning sickness if I’ve ever heard it! Upon just becoming friends in real life, I got to hear all the good news of this upcoming adventure of motherhood less than 9 months away! A few months later, we showered Annalisa and her soon-to-be son with gifts, with l

There is something about motherhood that makes me want to cry happy tears all day long. I didn't know how hearing a birth story would make me feel so connected to a mother, I never knew that watching a mom and her newborn would fill my heart to overflowing. Since as long as I can remember, I've been a "baby person" and my wildest dreams are filled with my own little ones in tow. So it really is no surprise and yet I am in awe that I could be so filled in capturing these mem
