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

Senior Portraits

{Alec – class of 2013} | White Bear Lake MN senior portrait photographer

I had so much fun meeting this family from White Bear Lake!  They are all (obviously) photogenic, but also super nice and FUNNY, too!  I think I was laughing though most of the senior/family session.  :)   So many photos that I loved – I had a hard time choosing which ones to post.

Teens

{Christian & Grace} | Ham Lake MN family portraits

I met these two last fall when their mom scheduled a session for some sibling (and puppy) photos. I’m used to working with babies and toddlers more than “older” kids, but it was nice to photograph some people who I didn’t have to chase around and sing songs for (although I offered….).

Maternity

{Megan & Justin} | Blaine MN maternity photographer

Personal

{2013 Readers Choice Award Winner} | Blaine MN photography

Since I didn’t opt for the ad space, which I needed to do to get the file to post from the paper, I figured I’d post this awesome instagram photo from the actual paper instead!  Thanks to whoever nominated me and whoever voted.  It was a really nice surprise at the end of the year, […]

Cake smash photos

{TAYLOR – 1 YEAR} | HAM LAKE, MN BABY PHOTOGRAPHY

It was a windy October morning when Taylor had her one year photos taken.  I’ve been photographing her since she was just 3 months old, and I can’t believe she’s a year already (actually, since I’m behind on my blog posts she’s closer to 15 months now.    Another new years resolution – get caught […]
