Cora was the perfect little model last weekend. We got to check out a new studio in South St Paul, tested out different poses and lighting. I am very much in love with this studio and the pictures.

Park Grove Pet Hospitals annual Santa Paws photos was a huge success! All proceeds benefited Home for Life, an organization that helps victims of domestic violence, people experiencing temporary or short-term homelessness and other temporary situations in which their pet would need to be housed. The first picture is Teddy, PGPH's clinic cat. The rest are staff pets. There were so many others that came through, I thought I would just highlight a few. Enjoy!

In two days Zach and Kasie will be saying "I do" and I am so excited to be able to capture their special wedding moments. These pictures are from their engagement session that I took last Fall. Their adorable dog, Koda, was a part of the engagement session and will also be a part of the wedding ❤

The girl with the biggest personality will be turning 9 in a week! I have been taking her photos since she was a baby and this is probably one of my favorite sessions of hers. Fun with bubbles! And a few silly ones.

Archer had his 1 year birthday a couple of weeks ago. What better way to celebrate than with a photo shoot.

A couple weekends ago my nephew, Nate, surprised his girlfriend, Meghan, with a proposal at Willow River State Park in Wisconsin. Morgan and I positioned ourselves behind them and followed them to the proposal spot. Thankfully the falls were running pretty heavy so it was too loud for them to hear me. He sure picked a beautiful spot. Congratulations Nate and Meghan! Couldn't be happier for the two of you!

Warning! Cuteness overload ahead! Proceed with caution! Last Saturday I joined Park Grove Pet Hospital in a fundraiser for a wonderful organization called Soldier's 6. This is an organization that provides honorably discharged veterans, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, correctional officers, and 911 dispatchers with specially trained K-9's. And we can't forget about Teddy, Park Grove's resident cat.

I recently did some headshots for Jenna so I thought it would be fun to promote her business. Especially since she has been supporting my photography business for many years. As a health and wellness coach, she has spent many years on building her career. She recently started a business/brand, Grit Grace Glow and also a Podcast called "Ramblings of an Addict"....

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family for quite a few years. It has been really fun watching them grow. This year we went to a studio rental in Stillwater, MN called The Hive House. What a fun and cute space. I can't wait to use the space again and I can't wait to photograph this family again. Thank you for checking out my blog. Click here if you would like to book a session.

I love bloopers. These 2 had so many that I just had to share.

Superhosts Jamie, Diane and their adorable doggies Lila and Henry. My sisters family, Betty, Cory and Cora. And a fun little cousins session at the end. All taken at Centennial Park in Nashville, TN.

Sneak preview of one of my favorite family's. These were taken at the cutest photo studio in Stillwater. If anyone is interested in doing something fun like a studio session let me know. What better way to get out of the house in the Winter.

I always love when animals are involved in photo sessions. My stress level does tend to go up a few notches especially when I hear the word cat. Don't get me wrong, I love cats but they are the least cooperative when it comes to pet sessions. Thankfully Luey and Lila are pretty social and they are used to being outside on leashes....

I have two goals for my photo sessions: get great photographs and have fun taking them. I wasn't too worried about the first goal because I always overshoot. That way I know for sure that there will be some great photographs. I knew that I had accomplished the second goal when Skylar's mom kept saying how much fun she had. I will say that this vibrant and beautiful, young lady made my job very easy....

Meet Archer! This handsome boy had an impromptu photo shoot at the lake last month.

My 2 biggest challenges for photo sessions are unknown territory and bright, sunny days. Sam's session was on her parents property in River Falls, WI (a place I had never been) and it was a bright, sunny day. The property was beautiful and we had many options for backgrounds. Sam loves nature. She had me crawling deep into the woods but it was worth it for the photos we were able to get....

Check out this super cute couple. They are celebrating 8 years of marriage this year. Their photo session was done last year at Vermillion Falls Park which is nestled in Hastings, MN.
