Tash | Hill-Murray Senior Photographer | MN Equine Senior Photographer

I shot Tash's sister Grace's senior photos last year and was honored to be asked to photograph Tash this year! The family owns two horses, last year we shot with Blue and this year we worked with Dune. Dune is pregnant, due in the Spring, so she has been acting odd such as rearing up like a stallion! Much like working with small children, animals are unpredictable but I LOVE getting asked to work with horses.

Tash was a blast to photograph and aspires to not only be an interior designer, but possibly do some modeling on the side. She will be great at both!













Look at this girl! This was Grace's idea to put her in the street, then we got yelled at by an old lady driving by. "Get out of the road!" she said.

Fall Mini-Sessions! | BOOKED!

It is crazy to think about August being just around the corner, school starting soon, and the thought of fall family photos but my dates are beginning to book up fast and I wanted to get these announced so you "planners" out there can get rolling! I chose afternoon sessions for the best lighting and for the fact that morning sessions can be iffy as far as colder temps and wet dewy grass. I am very excited about the locations this year, both are gorgeous and we should get some amazing fall color!

Addison, Lincoln, & Jameson | Lonsdale Family Photographer

We have this thing where every time this family and I have a session scheduled it seems to rain and this day was no different! Although we were limited to the studio most of the session, we managed to sneak outside at the very end once the rain passed through. Addison and Lincoln recently welcomed their new baby sister Jameson to the family! I am so in love with Jameson's curly dark and light hair. It was so unique, it was dark when she was born but is now growing in lighter so she has these really awesome natural highlights!




So good to see you all again and congratulations on little J! She's precious!

Eva and Jeremiah | Engaged! | Prior Lake Wedding Photographer

When Eva and I brainstormed for their engagement session location, she professed their love of vintage objects. I knew the perfect place to take them! After we scheduled, Jeremiah surprised Eva with a pair of vintage bikes for their shoot! I was so excited! I love when my couples put their own personal touches on the session, after all, the photos are about you! Here are a few teasers from their session. I look forward to their October wedding in Prior Lake!

Jacob and Elle | Twin Cities Children's Photographer

I was so happy to be able to document these cuties again!

Madeline | Mankato Senior Photographer

Madeline is a senior at Mankato West High School. I had the best time working with Madeline and her mom! I contemplated rescheduling our session due to the high heat and humidity but since they have lived in Georgia for 10 years, this was nothing! :) Madeline is not only talented in so many ways, they have such an interesting life of travel and experience. Madeline excels in many areas and is on the swim team and plays piano among other things. She is also in the running for Miss Madison Lake... I wish her all the best!

We started at the studio with a few indoor shots at her mom's request...
Madeline is 6'1"... 6'5" with those heels? :) Gorgeous long legs!








Madeline and her mom had a great moment to end the session... I was in tears!
