Well friends it finally happened…

I got the call and about 2 hours later my first 3 kids were arriving. And y’all – I was signed up for kids 4-10 and was given 9, 13, and 15. Insert big eyes here. Going from living alone to a household of four was jarring but completely welcome. I wasn’t ready to navigate teenhood, but really who is, and I am up for a challenge.

WHAT. A. YEAR.Never in my wildest dreams did I think a worldwide pandemic would hit during my lifetime. But here we are. And love persisted in wild and beautiful ways. Take a peek at all of the amazing love stories I got to photograph this year despite the world pandemic-ing around them!

Winter engagement sessions are always so beautiful. Throw in left over Midwest fall beauty on the trees and it’s truly a special treat. We took to Taylors Falls for Emily + Brodie’s photos and had a blast. They were naturals and we had so much fun! They get married today, and I’m so looking forward […]

Today is Develle + Marques’ wedding day and I’m so excited to celebrate them! In honor of that, I’m remembering their engagement session in St Paul from this winter. M+D had their first date at this Dunn Bros in St Paul so we returned for coffee shop engagement photos! We found some really beautiful nooks […]

Covid has nothing on these two. Theirs is the story of two hearts that found each other in Highschool who compliment each other so well and care for each other at 110% all the time. Their community surrounding them was nothing short of amazing: pulling together a drive through surprise to celebrate Maggie + Logan […]

I love seeing my couples make their day their own. Emily + Adam’s wedding was supposed to be a large gathering with all their friends and family, and while that wedding is still happening later this winter, they opted to still say their vows on their initial wedding date. Covid has been a monster, messing […]

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I love adventurous sessions. Sessions where we climb rocks, get a little wet, and ultimately have so much fun. Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis offers all of this and more. During our session, a family floated their way past us from the falls down through the […]

I met Amanda + Kyle right before Covid hit Minnesota and we hung out at The Hive House to get to know each other. These cuties are getting married next year and I cannot wait to celebrate them. They are two bright lights and sweet souls. Kind people are my kind of people. We hung […]

I’m a sucker for fall weddings and the cherry on top is having a perfect fall day. It was only a tiny bit cold and we danced off the chill at Irvine Park. Choua + Lue were all smiles on their wedding day (who wouldn’t be). It was so fun documenting their wedding story. This is exactly why I love lifestyle photography. Seeing their day unfold and documenting the little moments as they happened was so fun and such an honor to be a part of. Choua + Lue, thank YOU for trusting me with your story!
