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 […]

If you’re getting ready to welcome a new baby into the world, you’ve probably been thinking about a newborn photoshoot. Because babies make for unique subjects, these photo sessions require a slightly different approach but the results are always beautiful. Since being a new parent can be quite overwhelming, your newborn shoot should be nothing […]

Family reunions are such a special time. Whether it’s been years since you last saw your relatives or you get together every summer, reunions offer a beautiful chance to reconnect and capture memories that last a lifetime.

I had a great time photographing some branding images for St. Paul marketing strategist Feather Blue Studios.  I don’t do a lot of these types of sessions but I really enjoyed it.  We also did some family portraits while we were hanging out in the studio.   My studio was perfect for getting different looks.  She […]

Every mother wants to capture as many photos of her new baby as she can and if you’re currently expecting, you’re probably wondering about the best time to schedule your newborn photo session. The reality is that all parents have different preferences, with many not wanting to photograph their little one too soon. Others simply […]

Celebrating milestones in the studio are some of the best photo sessions.  This adorable session at my Northeast Minneapolis Studio was all about celebrating One Year!  I can’t believe it was just a year ago that I was photographing this little guy’s special care Nursery session within a few hours of his birth and then […]

Every year I attempt to take my very own family’s photos.  We usually find a place where I can set up a tripod but this year we just stayed in our backyard.  We have this beautiful red maple that I’ve been wanting to use for awhile.  I just used this small area in our backyard.  […]

Photos last a lifetime and having professional photos taken doesn’t always need to require you to take an entire day out of your schedule, something that can be especially challenging when you have children or need to get your family together. Mini sessions or what I call Petite sessions are the simple solution for people […]
