I’ve had such a wonderful response as I’ve been promoting this offer on social media. Thank you everyone for all the great comments and feedback! I really do appreciate it.

So far, one of the weddings has been claimed so there’s still one left. I would LOVE to hear from you!! I have photographed weddings, engagements and family portraits for same sex couples before but would love to add more to my portfolio.

Hooray Minnesota! Bring on the gay weddings!

This was a really fun wedding, even when we had to huddle together for warmth by the river!

It’s a bit of a departure for me but I certainly enjoyed it! I hope you like them too.

I tried a few different things in this session and I really like how everything came out. I hope you do too!

The children were simply charming and the youngest reminded me so much of mine it was hard to not ruffle his hair at every opportunity! It was easy to work with such a good looking group and mom did a fantastic job of selecting outfits that coordinated without being too matchy. If you’re looking for tips on how to dress your family, take a look at this group, it’s pretty perfect.

Thank you so much for having me and I can’t wait to work with you again!

The P family was excited to wear they would be welcoming another son into their family this past year. Unfortunately, it was a difficult pregnancy and ended with an even longer NICU stay with their micro-preemie.

Everyone is home now and doing well so I was finally able to come meet young Sam.

They’re such a wonderful family and I am amazed by all the difficult things they’ve had to manage with the health of their children. I am humbled by their courage.

Baz: 19 months
Sam: 8 months

And the chance to cuddle a new baby is always fun!

I photographed little Logan at his home in Eagan with his wonderful parents. They were all just a delight to be with.  Logan is so cute and so sweet! I gave him a few extra cuddles even though being around me seemed to relax his bowels… It’s ok though! It happens. I was just having too much fun taking pictures of his sweet little face!

I’m so glad I got to meet Logan and his family. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. Logan is a very well loved little guy. Congratulations!

Emily contacted me for an Ice Queen inspired shoot. She had this amazing jeweled dress and a crown she wanted to wear. It was totally fun. Unfortunately, it was *ridiculously* cold. The temperature dropped to the low teens that day. We had to work quickly to get the shots without freezing her to death!

She was totally hard core.

Thanks for working with me!

I found an absolutely stunning pair of wings on Etsy from KissedByPixies shops. She was so wonderful to work with and extremely helpful! We ended up needing to have them sent overnight because of snow delays and when I had the shoot scheduled. The wings arrived in ample time and were far more beautiful than they appeared online! Thank you again for your help!

My snow fairy model was referred by a mutual friend and I am so glad I was able to meet her. We had a really wonderful time talking and she was fantastic to work with. It’s great when you go in to a project with a new person and come out with a new friend. I’m excited to work with her again on another project!

I hope you enjoy these pictures! I know I had a great time working on them.

I planned to just reschedule an outdoor portion for another day but my model was sure she could handle it! She did great, but *I* froze. I was so busy trying to make sure she stayed warm, I managed to freeze myself. Oops!

We also killed our flowers. hehe… The florist warned us that the flowers wouldn’t do well in the frigid cold. I was just thrilled they did fine while we were shooting. Once I brought them in… they sort of melted.

Anyway, I had a great time working on this with my favorite model. I’m hoping to do more along this theme this year actually!
