Manifesting so many more wedding days back at

Juicy sun and baby bumps

Cheers to the weekend that never ends (in the best way)

Not even .01% of my favorites from Bailey and Alex's day

If only you could smell the amount of bug spray we're all wearing here. Mosquitos did not come to play this summer. They are vicious and out for blood

Mary + Tyler on the 485th day in a row of rain

1st photo was moments after Nick said he didn't want to be a spectacle and then 3 teen boys rolled down their window to yell "congratulations" across the entire park 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry Nick!

Alison + Dillon got married in Door County last weekend and the entire day felt like a love letter to their friends and family. There was truly not a moment they didn't use to celebrate their loved ones - Ali's homemade chocolate chip cookies, Dillon's specifically curated vinyl wedding party gift, their epic wedding playlist. It was the most joy filled, fun, soulful day ever and I now want to be adopted into their amazing community

Me when I found out I get to go on a no kids, sushi date tonight

We absolutely did see two giant snakeskins after walking out of the tall grass. But no worries, it was welllll after Kelsey shared that she wasn't scared of bugs, just snakes and I assured her that we didn't need to worry about those ........😳

First look moments from Joan and Nathan's day last weekend 🥹

Please please please invite me on your party bus. I LIVE for the unhinged behavior that goes down on them

Never have I ever met a crew more excited and tear filled than Sydney’s girls at their first look with her

How I feel about walking into a weekend full of 80 degree weather and tag team parenting 🙌

On Grace’s family property, in one of the most gorgeous little slices of MN I’ve ever seen, we spent the evening trolling around the lake. I cannot wait to see Grace and Mark get married in the same place this fall

I feel like I’m asked the same two questions all the time about wedding days: 1. What’s your favorite shot to get? and 2. What’s the hardest/most nerve wracking shot to get?

I have the same answer to both questions and it’s hands down the moment walking back down the aisle. Everyone is so excited, energy is high and then there’s me shuffling backwards like an uncoordinated troll trying to balance getting an in focus photo with not falling on my face in front of your entire guest list. It’s a blast 🤪 but honestly and truly my favorite photo to share with a couple

I get to spend the whole day with these cuties 🥳

Ceremony moments from Friday with Krista and Brady

We’re in the thick of engagement session planning right now and I’m here to say YES, bring the dog, bring your favorite wine, wear your comfiest sneakers. Please include the things you absolutely love in your session cause it’s designed to document you at your “YOU”est

Today Krista and Brady get married! A few years ago, I shot Krista’s sister Kellie’s wedding and quickly became obsessed with their fun loving fam so today feels like we’re getting the band back together

On the same day as both of their parents, Sydney and Austin got married and it was perfect.

I need to up my house plant game in a bad way and am taking all the recs so please drop some tips of plants that are resilient and take nothing personally. I promise to water semi regularly and make small talk once in a while with them👇👇👇👇

Hello weekend, missed ya

Love me a best man speech that’s just a teensy bit out of pocket 🤣

Not gonna lie, before having kids of my own, I absolutely froze when little humans weren’t vibing with photos. I remember feeling at a complete loss and like I was doing something wrong when babies and toddlers weren’t into the session. It’s safe to say that I now realize that kids have a very different idea of what’s fun and 99.9% of the time it’s not taking photos 🤣 but actually, once I learned to lean into the mood of the tiny people and focus on capturing the fun and chaos right in front of me, family and lifestyle sessions became a way better time for everyone involved

We tried to outrun the rain pretty much the entirety of Mary & Tyler’s session. We ended up jumping in our cars to sneak up the hill for a grand total of five minutes before the rain got us but I think the photos from those 5 minutes ended up being my fav of the whole evening.

Craving late sunset wedding days full of beautiful florals, people, speeches, family, dancing, all the things.

I wanna be Geena on her wedding day when I grow up

Helllooooo daylight savings sunshine I’ve missed ya

And somethin extra special when both your besties have babies in the same month, weeks after you do. Can’t wait to watch our little babes grow up together
