I spent quite a bit of time with these two this fall! We squeezed an engagement shoot, a wedding, and a little personal shoot all within a months time. And each and every time I fell more in love with them. :) I love their adventurous, outdoorsy spirits - and have gratitude for an excuse to take a little day trip up to the Duluth area to snag these wonderful engagement shots. 🍂
This family is absolutely one of my favorites (am I allowed to have favorites??).
When we did this session at the end of the summer they were patiently awaiting the arrival of two (!!) babies. They have so much love and I know it’s only growing exponentially. (Spoiler alert - this mama is a SUPERHERO and she ended up carrying both babies full term and delivered ON their due date 😱)
This lil gal turned one last month! I’ve been jealous of people blessed with curls since I was a little girl - and this bright-eyed babe is no exception. What. A. Cutie.
Back again with my favorite - Yess Yoga Studio. Another round of folks successfully completed their yoga teacher training, courtesy of Lucia. Each one of them unique and a joy to photograph. I will photograph passions and craft til the day I die, and I will never tire of it. Play, create, turn everything into magic!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - give me all the babies, all of the time.
But for real - these in-home sessions are hands down my favorite. They always feel true and natural and I LOVE that. Home is where the heart is.
Maybe there’s something in the water up here in Minnesota, but every baby I’ve photographed lately has been a 10/10. Gerber baby status. This lil guy posed, followed me around with his eyes the whole time, and stole the hearts of every person who saw baby’s first photoshoot.
The perfect kick-off to a summer of photographing beautiful babies!
I've always loved babies, but after working with a local in-hospital photography service for the past couple years I've realized how special those first few moments of life are. Babies change so crazy fast that it's so important to document those fleeting moments. And I've learned that even when everything feels like a whirlwind, it'll be those crazy moments that you feel nostalgic for later on.
In-home newborn sessions are one of my favorite things to shoot. Babies are so innately adorable, adding tens of props and odd poses really doesn't do them any justice on their own. So I like to sit back, and document life as it happens. I want to capture those first moments of them in their own crib, dad feeding the baby so mom can finally take a shower, siblings meeting for the first time. Real life doesn't have to be glamorous, but it's emotional and it's beautiful. And you'll be so happy to have those memories documented.
If you're looking for a local Minneapolis yoga studio with the best vibes, kindest souls, and most welcoming and supportive environment - Yess Yoga is your place. I've been lucky enough to know the owner, Lucia, for many years. She treats everyone like family, and the whole studio has a beautiful community-centric mindset.
Every so often she hosts teacher training workshops and I get the opportunity to come in and work with her and her students, showcasing their abilities and what they've learned. Working with other small businesses gives me such pride in the Minneapolis community - I feel so humbled to work alongside so many wonderful creatives and uniquely talented folks!
