The Williams Family

This family is one of my most favorite in the whole world!! Not only am I related to them and we have so much in common but because they are simply just WONDERFUL all around!! Anyone that knows them would say how hospitable they are, how they LOVE to serve and always can make you laugh and have a great time wherever you are!

Bruce & Missy-I admire YOU!!








Sarah's Family

As I blog the last of my fall sessions winter has set in!! Today was below zero at times so I didn't mind staying in and catching up on some edits. The day we had Sarah's family session was also a chilly one-we made it quick so the kids could get bundled back up, they were troopers!!

Justin & Janelle ~ Engaged

I took Justin & Janelle back to the place where it all began ~ Santorini!! Even though this restaurant has moved to Eden Prairie we found the old place to be perfect for an engagement session. Their wedding is set for next August and it promises to be STUNNING!!












Shepard ~ Newborn

A few weeks ago I met Aubrey for maternity pictures and now she is the proud mommy of a beautiful baby boy!! He came in just enough time for Thanksgiving. Congratulations!!

Welcome Shepard!!










Todd & Melody ~ Family

Talk about a picture perfect family!! This family is gorgeous all around!! The weather was extremely chilly and with the wind we all were dying!! But they were patient with me and were able to get some GREAT shots!!

Justin ~ Senior

Meet my brother Justin!! It's hard to believe he is actually old enough to graduate!! It seems like yesterday all us sisters were dressing him up in girl clothes or torturing him in some way but here he is-a total stud!!

Justin you have really made our family proud by stepping up and being the "man" around the house when dad passed away 9 years ago. Thanks for all you have done, we are truly blessed to have you as our brother!! We love you!!








Palmer ~ 4 Months

I can't believe how adorable this little guy keeps getting!! The last time I saw Palmer he was only a week or two old and such a good baby. He is going to have a wonderful first Christmas!!






Jodi & Deb ~ Sisters

There is nothing like family during the Holiday season!!

Roxy ~ Maternity

Last week I was able to fly to California for business and pleasure!! My youngest sister Roxy is expecting a few days after Christmas so we were able to spoil her with a baby shower and a fun photography shoot! Talk about an ideal pregnancy-she has the perfect little tummy and continues to feel great! Oh and by the way...it's a BOY!!!

Congratulations Roxy & Jason-can't wait to hold your little guy!!

Nate & Hilary ~ Engaged

Nate & Hilary have such a special relationship. During their session I truly enjoyed how loving and caring they were to one another-plus they love to make each other laugh!! It was a warm fall day for pictures-unlike how our October weather was this year!!

Their wedding is set for May 22, 2010 and getting excited!!









Aubrey ~ Maternity

There is nothing more amazing than the miracle of life!!

Since I shot this session Aubrey gave birth to a baby boy!! Tomorrow I get to visit him for the first time and take his newborn pictures so keep looking back to get a peek of the precious new one.

Congratulations Aubrey on the safe arrival of your baby!!

The Kahl Family

It is always a pleasure to do a session for friends! I met James & Naphtali shortly after I moved to Minneapolis, since then Aidan was born and now he's already 5 years old! Naphtali has many talents, she has the gift of decorating and hosting but one of my favorites is her homemade purse business. Please check them out at:
