Right about after the holidays, I had this fabulous snow photo session.  I love snow sessions!  The only issue with them is you can never quite plan for them.  I usually have a waitlist for anyone interested and when it snows you have decide within a day or two whether or not you want to […]

This month I’m focusing on what to wear for intimate maternity sessions.  Even if you don’t want your whole session to be intimate portraits it is fun to have a few of these shots and these items are perfect to have on hand. Just as I would suggest scheduling your maternity session in advance; I encourage […]

I had the most beautiful maternity session at my Minneapolis studio.  She didn’t use the client wardrobe I offer but that was ok because she had three of her own beautiful gowns to wear.  I cannot stress enough how much I adore white in my studio.  She chose the best dresses for her session.  I […]

I am so excited to announce what I’m sure will be an annual tradition.  The Motherhood Event!  This event is for moms and their babies (or big kids), no dads allowed.  It’s no secret that moms are usually the ones behind the camera and the ones who want those images of their babes but are […]

I had such a fabulous fresh 48 session at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s hospital.  They have such lovely rooms for families which make for a great place to have your fresh 48 photo session.  This is the second Fresh 48 session I’ve done for this family.  I love these sessions they are the […]

One of my last fall photo sessions last year ended up being one of my first snow sessions.  I’m so glad the family decided to keep their session at Hill Farm in North Oaks instead of rescheduling for “better” weather.  I think the snow scenery was just beautiful and I honestly think this family was […]

When I met this beautiful mama and her baby, mom was just out of the hospital after having her.  She had originally been admitted early for pre Eclampsia and had found out  that baby girl had a growth restriction, doctors that day had decided she would stay for 5 weeks and get her to a healthy […]
