Danielle & Charlie // Expecting! // Woodbury Maternity Photography

I cannot tell you enough how much I love these two! Dani and Charlie are two of the best people you’ll ever meet: kind, thoughtful, caring, and ALWAYS making one another laugh. And trust me, Danielle has THE best laugh. They’re currently living in California, so we were lucky to squeeze in a maternity session while they were visiting Minnesota this winter. I had the most amazing time doing their maternity photos. These two are going to be such great parents. I just can’t wait to meet little Mya when they come back for another visit at the end of March!

Enjoy a few favorites from the session:

Baby Naomi // St. Paul Newborn Photography

Meet Naomi. This little sweetheart was lucky enough to enter this world on Christmas Day! I had such a great time photographing her—she was a great little model and had the most beautiful lips and lashes. She even gave me a few sleepy smiles! (Those are the best—I feel so blessed when I’m able to capture them.) I’m so excited to watch Naomi grow up!
Congrats to Naomi’s family—I know they love her so much!

Are you expecting? If you’re interested in scheduling a newborn session, please contact me at least two months prior to your baby’s due date to ensure we can schedule a time when your baby is two weeks or younger.

Amy & Shawn // Ice Cream Shop & Fishing themed E-session // Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin Engagement Photography

admin — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 19:42:53 +0000

I had so so SO much fun with these two! I met fellow designer & photographer Amy and her fiancé Shawn out at the cutest (& yummiest) little ice cream shop: Olson’s Ice Cream Parlor in Chippewa Falls, where the two shared a cone and some kisses. Afterwards, it was fishing time! These two love fishing together. Their secret spot: Lake Wissota. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful autumn day—blessed with gorgeous weather and a gorgeous couple!

Thanks for a fun shoot, Amy and Shawn. Looking forward to photographing your wedding in May!

Debbie & Terry // Minnehaha Falls & Memory Lanes // Minnesota Wedding Photography

Debbie & Terry are incredibly kind and such an easygoing couple. Their ceremony was held at the beautiful Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, Minnesota. And their reception: anything but ordinary! Guests got to bowl the night away at Memory Lanes. How fun is that!?

Thank you, Debbie and Terry, for allowing Gunnar and I to photograph your special day!

Gracie & Ian // Engaged! // Menomonie, Wisconsin Engagement Photography

admin — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:51:58 +0000

This couple is oh-so-dear to my heart, and I had the most amazing time doing their engagement session! For their session we traveled out to Menomonie — where we all attended college together. Gracie is the sweetest friend a girl could have, and Ian is just perfect for her. And I just love their save-the-date idea! (Background story: these two go to old photo booths every month or so to get their pictures taken together. It has become a tradition and now they’ve got countless photo strips!) We had an absolutely awesome day, and I couldn’t be more excited for their wedding in February!

Emilio // Woodbury Newborn Photography

This little guy is Emilio. He was born five weeks early and was oh so little! I got to meet him on his 17th day of life. He was such a precious angel. Welcome to the world, little “Emmy”

Idiarte Family // Lake of the Isles // Minneapolis Family Photography

admin — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 04:16:53 +0000

This is one of the best families I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. And it was so great to spend some time capturing some of their moments together in Minnesota before they moved to Brazil. Little Isabella has grown so much since I last photographed her. She still has those same adorable cubby cheeks she had in her newborn session though! Such an adorable girl and beautiful family. Best wishes in Brazil, you three!

Jasper // 11 days new // Saint Paul Newborn Photography

Meet Jasper, 8 lbs 5 oz of pure sweetness. I got to meet this sweet little boy on day 11 of his new life. He is sure loved and adored by his new family! It was so great watching Chris and Rachael interact with their little guy. So special! Here’s a preview for Jasper’s family.

Chelsy & Bryan // Engaged! // Northfield, Minnesota Engagement Photography

You may remember Chelsy & Bryan from their family shoot last fall. Well, they’re back again, this time ENGAGED!

It rained the entire afternoon prior to Chelsy and Bryan’s shoot. Preparing for a rainy engagement shoot, I packed my umbrellas in my car and began to brainstorm some romantic rainy shot ideas, crossing my fingers that Chelsy & Bryan would be up for kissing in the rain. Chelsy and I were on the same page—she was so excited, she even wore rain boots. So we headed out to Northfield in search of some puddles. But when we arrived, the sun was shining and the sky was clear. It ended up being a great shoot nonetheless. These two are so incredibly perfect together, and their connection was so apparent every time they smiled and looked into one another’s eyes. What a joy their relationship was to photograph!

Thanks Chelsy & Bryan!
