“Until one has loved an animal a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” ― Anatole France Buddy is getting on in years, and I was honored to capture the memory of his life and faithful friendship with Steve & Kristi. Our dogs are our treasured family, and their mark on our lives is wonderfully deep.

I love family photos with young children, but I love it even more when it’s with my tribe; and these are my people. Lovely fall color, goofy kids and good friends!

Adding a second child takes your lives up more than one notch! I love capturing the first few weeks of the blur of chaos, exhaustion, love and excitement of the second or third arrival. Getting into your home with a lifestyle newborn session lets me capture emotions as they show up in your everyday lives….

When my families want to include their other close family members in their annual photo session, it adds such an incredible dynamic to the energy and emotion…
The Theisens | At-Home Family Photos
Some of my dearest friends asked me to come out to a favorite park of theirs to do family photos; but the day of the session, the rain was doing its off-again-on-again thing. So instead, we met up at their gorgeous home in Blaine and tried our darndest to get the best of the weather!…

Williams Family | At-Home Lifestyle Mini
Moving across the country as a young family is a massive adventure; and our friends are undertaking this adventure with great excitement.

The Richardson Family | Spring Mini | Woodstock Farms
“At the end of our lives, we’ll see it was about having fun, rather than being serious; and celebrating each of us rather than correcting one another. It was about wearing our hearts proudly in public rather than hiding them away. And it was about being together. Like, really *being* together.” –S.C. Laurie
The Mack Family | Spring Mini | Woodstock Farms
“Family isn’t defined only by last names or by blood; it’s defined by commitment and by love. It means showing up when they need it most. It means having each other’s backs. It means choosing to love each other even on those days when you struggle to like each other. It means never giving up…
