Newborn, maternity and family portrait highlights of some of my favorite families in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities area. 

Newborn

Rory | Elk River MN newborn photographer

This handsome peanut is my nephew Rory.  He’s not actually so little anymore – he’ll be turning one in October!  Yes, it has taken me a while to blog these but totally worth the wait, right?  I’ve also photographed him at around 4 and 7 months, so those will be posted sometime in the next […]

Family

Heath family | Woodbury MN family photographer

I was contacted by Val a while back when she was looking for a Woodbury MN family photographer.  The session was to include her and her husband and their two daughters and their families.  We first met for a pre-session consultation so I could learn a little bit more about who was going to be there […]

Willow – 4 months | Oakdale baby photographer

I first met Willow when her parents were looking for an Oakdale baby photographer.  She came in for her 4 month session, and I’m pretty sure I squealed when her mom and dad brought her in through my studio doors.  She has the most gorgeous head of dark, crazy hair, and rolls for days.  She […]

Senior Portraits

Abby | Blaine senior portrait photographer

I typically only photograph a handful of seniors each year, so this was a lot of fun for me.  This is my neighbor, Abby, and we’ve been planning this session for the last couple of years.  Her session was at the home of a family friend, and it was absolutely AMAZING!  I was in photography heaven […]
