THE JOURNAL

As soon as the warm weather hits in the spring my teen daughter and I get antsy to get outside in the backyard and take photos. While snow sessions are fun in the beginning we get burnt out on them quick because it’s just too cold out. But spring! Oh how we love the warm […]

I had such a beautiful maternity session in my Northeast Minneapolis studio the other day. I met this lovely mama last fall for their family photo session. They were new clients with older teens so can you imagine my surprise when I saw their maternity request come in! I was so excited to have her […]

It has been three years since we last went on spring break! Something has always come up and last year we wanted to go on one but Covid prevented us from doing anything other than driving up to Duluth Minnesota. At first I wasn’t sure if going on spring break this year was a wise […]

I had the sweetest e-mail from this mom saying “I have 4 boys, can I still schedule a Motherhood session”. I immediately got back to her and said “OF COURSE! You deserve this more than anyone”. She responded with “you had me at I deserve this” Oh my goodness, yes she does. All mom deserve […]

This beautiful family came into the studio to celebrate baby boy’s 1st Birthday with a cake smash session. When we smash a cake these sessions are signature sessions which means they are approximately an hour but there is actually no time limit. I do not do petite sessions with an actual cake. Though you can […]
