It’s been a couple of years since I’ve photographed this extended and blended family and they’ve added a few more family members since. I enjoy every moment of time spent with these fantastic people, it sometimes feels like herding cats but that’s the best part of being with them all.

I’m so excited to share this sweet little family from Farmington, Minnesota family pictures with you all! The Cook family is new to the area and hadn’t had a family picture in 6 years, especially since they added a new member to their family, their adorable pup

I think this is my second favorite session of the senior Class of 2023. I’m so excited to share it with you! I’ve done only a handful of senior pictures in Downtown Farmington and I keep finding new little places to find spots to photograph in that I haven’t done them in before

I love how much variety Dakota City Village has to offer when it comes to doing senior pictures. There are a bunch of old timey buildings set in the village to replicate what Farmington might have looked like in it’s hey day, big open field spaces and trees! Huge bonus, it’s super quiet here.

Jessica reached out to me in December to do a couples session with her and her hubby in the Minnesota winter. At the time there wasn’t a stitch of snow on the ground and all I was thinking, uhhh maybe we wait until January? Maybe we’d get some snow by then. 🤞🏻 The temps changed from freezing to basically spring weather from the end of December up to the day of their session, and I PRAYED hard that we just get a tiny bit of dusting to add a bit of magical dusting of snow on the pine trees. The night before session it snowed a tiny bit to answer my session prayers.

When Allie booked a mini session with me at the beginning of November I don’t think either one of us had imagined that we were going to be having their session in the SNOW! I had never done a family session in the snow before and I actually was really excited about it. 

If you know anything about me, I’m not a huge winter person. I don’t like being cold and the early dark nights that come with the winter season. BUT when you live in Minnesota you’ve gotta embrace the snow and cold and muscle through. Plus, it can be pretty. Am I right? 

When this sweet family’s mama reached out to me to hire me to photograph her and her family, she had no idea that I was also a homeschooling mama of three, just like her (except she’s got another one on the way!). I was very much excited to meet another homeschooling mama and her family. […]

Amanda, Paul and I have known each other since college. Amanda and I were in the same sorority and Paul belonged to a fraternity within the greek organization at our school. Amanda has boys that are roughly the same age as mine and so it was no surprise how much they reminded me how my […]
