Its when we do a half hour shoot at my studio in St. Paul for more classic studio portraits and then go outside for an hour session at one of many outdoor location options.

Madeline’s mom and dad came in for a maternity session about a year ago and signed up for the Baby Steps Series. She just turned one year old and completed her fourth of four sessions. Its hard to believe she was resting on her dad’s forearm just a year ago. I decided to have a […]

Little Betsy, a raven-haired 10-day old had her first infant photo shoot in her first of four sessions in the Baby Steps Series.  She was a little more fussy and not exactly happy about her clothing changes but she pulled through. I am also a very patient photographer. Usually infants, kids and even adults will […]

Landon stopped by with his mom and dad last week for his six month photo shoot. He was so adorable and happy. It was a bright and sunny day so I was able to take advantage of the natural light that wonderfully flows into my studio. I like to mix up my lighting techniques to […]

Little Gracie was born the day her parents came over for their maternity session. Her mom could not have been any more pregnant and actually didn’t look terribly large to me. Nevertheless, she arrived a healthy baby to her thrilled parents. About ten days later she made her in-person appearance at my studio and had […]

One of the things I really enjoy is when I hear parents saying to their kids, now that wasn’t so bad was it?  Having a professional portrait shoot  should be a fun and positive experience. I like to talk with my clients, whether they are seven years old or seventeen. Its how I help people […]

Nora is one of my Baby Steps Series babies. I have been photographing her since she was still in her mom’s belly. Originally I was her mom and dad’s wedding photographer back in 2009. Its been so much fun to see the progress and growth she has been experiencing since she was just a newborn […]

One of the things I have come to realize is how amazing and unique in-home photo shoots can be. Sometimes people worry that if I haven’t photographed at a location before, it might be a problem, but the opposite is true. Its very inspiring because I have never photographed there before so all sorts of […]

Kian is a totally adorable smiley sweet boy. Its hard to believe he is a year old. Our first shoot was a maternity session, then his infant shoot where he was so little and tiny. Now he is plump, full of energy, walking and flirty. What a doll!

Wanda and John were married at the Minnesota Boat Club on St. Paul’s Raspberry Island in June. The boat house is right downt the street from my studio and sits nearly in the middle of the Mississippi River. It was a beautiful wedding, these are some of my favorite images.
