Hello

The Mulder Family

A Waterworks Prairie Park Fall Family Shoot

Family & Kids

We had the most beautiful afternoon at Waterworks Prairie Park for this family session with Ben, Martha, and Stella! This was the first time meeting the Mulder family and they were a delight. Stella is in her very self-assured and opinionated 2-year-old stage, but despite her disinterest in taking photos, look at all these smiles […]

The Michels Family

A Wanatee Park Fall Extended Family Shoot

Family & Kids

The last time I saw Jack was when he was brand new and the last time I saw this extended family was at Christian & Cam’s wedding five years ago (the oldest grandkids were literal babies at that time!). It was really fun to get together with the Michels family this past weekend, where they’ve […]

Family & Kids

I photographed the beautiful Whitmore family last summer when Sarah was pregnant with Charlie and I was so excited to get to update their family photos this year! I have known Ian and Sarah for years now, photographing their wedding back in 2015 and the larger Whitmore family when Wesley was just a baby. This […]

Rachel & Kody

A Walker Homestead Summer Wedding

Weddings

In the days leading up to their wedding, we were topping out locally with temperatures in triple digits and heat indexes above the actual temp. While the heat blast would not have dampened their day (because nothing could’ve touched their joy), we were all relieved regardless for the most gorgeous Saturday weather, a high of […]
