We had some wonderfully un-seasonal weather this past weekend in Minnesota and this little family lucked out!

Spent a lovely October evening running around the trails of Lake Elmo, MN with the sweetest little almost-one-year-old, Colson, and the most delightful 6 year-old, Kiley.

I feel particularly excited about this shoot because it was an afternoon of creative bliss fueled by two people in what we described as a “creative bender”. I rolled up with coffee + matcha in hand for our session (a bonus for us having a more go-with-the-flow session, open-ended session).

We captured their family photos last year and incorporated the CUTEST little denim jackets that Ashlee found from Ingrid and Isabel’s Mama + Babe collection. Ashlee + Brandon are one of the most photogenic couples I get to shoot and I love that they’re always willing to give me their vision for their session and then trust me to carry it out.

Little Landree was born bright and early in the morning on January 18, 2019 at Lakeview Hospital. This birth was special for me because it was my first cesarean that I was part of. I’m a big birth + baby person and being able to preserve some of those first moments earth-side is one of my favorite roles.

Let me tell ya something pretty crucial when it comes to outdoor shoots. Things don’t always go as planned… My session with Brita was originally scheduled for a week earlier buuut

Last week I met up with Kaylie O’Connor, a rockstar Twin Cities fashion blogger, who looks oh so cute and put together ANY time I see her

Francis celebrates his first year around the sun. Here’s a few of my favorite photos of one of my nearest and dearest, truly remarkable, absolutely beautiful and honestly, one of my most favorite families.
