Opening the door of Forget-Me-Not Florist made me smile and fall in love again with my sweet town of Northfield. Blue vases lining the window filter stunning light into the shop and highlight the florals, houseplants, and gifts. Let me introduce you to the florist who has everything! Chocolates to pair with your bouquet and […]

As a photographer, taking a friend out for a Lakeville anniversary session couldn’t be met with anything but joy! Add in golden light, a hillside, a gorgeous couple, and WOW. Why am I still surprised how beautifully Minnesota can kind of look like Ireland? Lakeville Anniversary Photos Toni & Dusty made my work so easy. As […]

Finding a dream job is hard work. You’ve heard it before. Either inside your own brain or from someone else’s lips: complaints about a current job and desire to find a custom-tailored job that would allow for more freedom (and perhaps a raise!). I can tell you from experience: dreams don’t come cheap! I’ve now […]

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 […]

The older sister of the bride stepped up to the microphone under the spacious white tent of The Gardens of Castle Rock during a June wedding. She admitted she didn’t know exactly what to say for her toast during the reception… so she decided she would sing her toast! Moana and Frozen soundtracks were revamped into a […]

As the storm of COViD-19 barreled through the United States, Trisha & Tyler chose to keep their wedding date and downscale their celebration in Faribault. Can I just say how proud I am of them? Letting the closed doors around them take their day would have been a WAY EASIER option. The American dream wedding […]

I suppose quarantine during COViD-19 isn’t a bad time to start blogging about my personal life (so far, I’ve only shared amazing client work)! I’ve been wondering how to start in, and so I pop the proverbial champagne with this first post in the category to announce a very special occasion! As you may have […]

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 […]

What an amazing wedding at the Chapel of the Good Shepherd! As I drove in the cold of Minnesota March to Faribault, two truths pressed upon me. The first: it was literally hovering around or below freezing temperatures. The second: I wanted to serve and love Carissa & Justin as best as I possibly could–but would […]

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 […]
