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

Maternity

{Soon to be a family of 4} | Blaine, MN maternity photographer

One of my favorite sessions to date!  I really wanted to try some high-key lighting for these, and the outfits that Christina brought along for her and her family worked out perfect for that light, airy feel.  There aren’t too many people that can make a bed sheet look this good.  :)   I don’t photograph a […]

Friends/Family

{I love fall} | Blaine MN family photographer

I couldn’t come up with a better title that wasn’t totally cheesy.  I was thinking of “mother and daughter love”, or “best buds”, but I’m not really into that mushy stuff, so “I love fall” it is.  :)  Theresa is a friend of mine, and she wanted some family photos of her and her daughter […]

Newborn

{Grant} | Blaine MN newborn photography

What can I say – he is absolutely adorable!  I photographed Megan and Justin’s maternity photos a while back, and I was so excited to meet their new baby boy!  He was awake and content for quite a while, but when he decided to pass out, he didn’t mess around!  :)

Kids

{Playing in the woods} | Maple Grove MN family photographer

I met up with this family in Rogers, MN last fall for their family portraits, right before all the leaves blew away for the year.  We had fantastic timing with the gorgeous fall colors, and I had a great time watching the boys building tepees in the woods, playing with sticks, and all the fun […]
