One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is following a family’s journey and capturing each milestone along the way. I first met Kayley through Kayley's dad's wedding, we had so much fun and that led to capturing Kayley and Isaiah's engagement and wedding photos. Now, it's a true joy to be part of their lives as they continue growing their own family.

Our most recent session together was all about their adorable little one. She’s growing up so quickly! It’s incredible to capture her in this precious stage where curiosity blooms and every expression is new. These moments won’t last forever—she’s in that “sit and stay” phase that’s already starting to give way to more movement and independence. 

Each session with the Chiado family has felt like a reunion, a time to reconnect and celebrate their growth. Whether it's marking the first days of their love story or cherishing the everyday beauty of family life, being part of their journey is a true privilege. Here’s to capturing every precious moment, one photo at a time!

There's something magical about Minnesota in the fall, and Lake Rebecca Park in Hastings was the perfect backdrop for the Haselmann family's latest mini portrait session. I've had the joy of capturing memories for the Haselmanns before, and seeing them again, watching the kids grow, and catching up with this wonderful family was the perfect way to spend a gorgeous autumn day.

There’s something truly special about revisiting a family's story over the years through photography. This fall, I had the joy of photographing the Edholm family on a perfect, crisp autumn evening. Our journey together began when we captured their engagement portraits at a picturesque vineyard in Wisconsin, followed by documenting their wedding day at a charming barn venue in Hudson. Now, the story continues with their beautiful family of four, featuring their newest member, baby Oliver. (And by newest, I mean like 2 weeks old!)

Capturing Iveth’s mini senior portraits was a joy and a glimpse into the journey she is preparing for. As a senior with aspirations to become a police officer, Iveth's determination and thoughtful approach to her future were evident in each photo we took. With dreams of possibly starting as a military police officer (MP) to gain early experience, her ambition shines through in her actions and conversations. 

I recently had the pleasure of reconnecting with the Rush family for a mini photo session at Lake Rebecca Park in Hastings, Minnesota. It has been a couple of years since I last captured them, so it was a joy to catch up and see how their family has grown! This sessions felt particularly special because, with Cali and Nathan,  we’ve shared so many milestones together over the years. I had the honor of taking their engagement portraits, capturing their wedding day, and even doing their maternity photos for their oldest child—at this very park, no less!
