Fiona and Mark chose THE most magical spot in Minnesota nature for a golden hour engagement session. Steeplechase offers the immense beauty of rolling hills as well as the view to best them all. Fiona hails from Maine, and I love how the grandeur of this view blows me away almost as much as Acadia […]

This Northfield engagement session had me absolutely swooning over the spring blossoms! I mean, these lilacs don’t get any fluffier or colorful! The verdant landscape set the perfect tone for a couple like Caroline and Andy who enjoy the simple delights of cooking and reading together. When Caroline chose her location I could not be more thrilled! […]

So thrilled to share this St. Anthony Main Minneapolis engagement session with you all!!! I first “met” Haley & Zach over video call and I’ve looked forward to meeting them in person ever since! As Haley told me about her wedding colors I got real excited! Zach even mentioned how my brand colors matched their wedding colors […]

One of my favorite local locations is Carleton’s Cowling Arboretum – for every season, the grounds have a unique personality! I’m so happy to share with you Nhung & Nick’s engagement session in the grassy meadow & Carleton’s Skinner Memorial Chapel! Our First Stop: Cowling Arboretum The first thing I noticed about these two is […]

Want to have an amazing time at your engagement photos? Bring your puppy – and your amazing sister (future Maid of Honor!) – you ‘re sure to win! Carly & Josh made the colder-than-is-respectable Minnesota October temps feel warmer somehow. I think it was their joy! Sweet doggie Auggie melted my heart because he was so […]

A River Bend engagement session in near freezing temperatures? No problem for Melissa & Clark, the fun loving and adventurous duo. In fact, they even added their own donut toss finale! Oh man, these two are so hilarious. Clark made the most amazing faces between every shot (just a few included here for a laugh!) […]

Engagement sessions are such a wonderful icebreaker for photographers–and what easier way than with a sweet puppy! Angy & Mario’s engagement photos reflect the one topic I love to educate my clients about: stepping into confidence that yes, you can look good on camera. The number one concern for these two was not that their wedding day would […]

Oh friends! Sarah & Ross wove the most beautiful engagement session into being! Perhaps I am biased, because Sarah chose my favorite flower to adorn her beautiful tresses (brownie points if you can name it!)  It is never a good thing to arrive late, but if you must arrive late, let it be because you braided blooms into […]

Breaking the COViD static with news of a Minnesota Engagement Session! Hallelujah! Northfield, the governor lifted the Stay-At-Home order! Photography can commence! I know everyone will agree that it’s been a hard slog through quarantine. Do not hang out with friends. Do not hug others, do not pass go, and do not collect $200. (Anyone […]

To photograph in Northfield, Minnesota offers many iconic vistas. The city is proud of its bridges, its fountain, the surrounding fields,  the two colleges, and natural lands. One thing became clear as I began Elise & Renato’s session: we had to get to the riverside gazebo. Both independently shared with me the prominence of this location in their […]
