BFF's & Babies | Albert Lea, MN Photographer

As a photographer, when a BFF tells you she's pregnant a million and one photo ideas race through your head, as a friend you squeal and scream with excitement and maybe shed a tear or two. 

When Megan told me she was expecting all of the above happened. I couldn't wait to meet this precious little one and get her in from of my lens! I had to wait 3 whole months, but it was well worth it with the results we got :)  At the beginning of the session Megan told me Myra wasn't real fond of cameras. Well let's face it, I really like proving Megan wrong, look at the smiles and sweet faces we got! We didn't have any tears in our photos....maybe prior to the session, but not during! Myra loves her Auntie :)

Can't wait for the next session, Myra!

Twins! | Windom, MN Family Photographer

Twins! My first experience photographing twins, and they were sweet, funny and definitely full of energy! These two just turned 7 and mom decided she was finished with the department store portraits. She wanted to try something different. We met at a little park on a beautiful, yet sticky, summer evening and found some great areas to take their portraits. These two cuties kept me on my toes and even had some fun ideas of their own :)

The gang's all here! | Family Photographer | Lakefield, MN

The gang's all here, and that includes the two from Australia! Grandma and Grandpa don't get to enjoy having all five of their grandson's at their home very often, so when they are all together it needs to be documented!

I think this was originally going to be a surprise for the Grandparents, but the daughters decided Grandma & Grandpa needed to get into the pictures as well.

I had such a fun time out at the farm with the Rossow family. Thanks again for having me! 

Enjoy your family time!

Watch Me Grow | Spirit Lake, IA Newborn Child Photographer

Looking for a great gift for someone who is expecting or maybe JUST had a baby? The Watch Me Grow program is a great way for parents to capture all of their little bundle's milestones. Watch Me Grow includes 6 full sessions along with 5 High-Res images from EACH session!

Kaecyn is a Watch Me Grow-er, and I can't believe he is already 3 months old! Time is flying with this little one! He has already grown and changed SO much in the last 3 months. He has such an amazing, infectious smile that just lights up a room!

Back to Rochester | Newborn Photographer | Southwest Minnesota

Rochester, Minnesota is probably my favorite place I've lived thus far. It is also where I purchased  my first home with my husband, and where I had my daughter. I also met some wonderful people while I lived there, through my job and via other friends. I have been a Massage Therapist going on 10 years. (Wow that's a long time when you type it out!) I met some of my favorite people through massage! 

Jill is one of those people. She was an awesome client who I hated to leave, but, driving 2.5 hours to give a massage every other week just wasn't in the cards. So when she contacted me and told me she would love it if I'd take her newborn photos I was uber excited!!!

Jordan was wonderful to work with. He was ready when I arrived, and watched as I set everything up. He didn't want to sleep right away, but after a little coaxing he decided to give in. However when he did wake up, he decided he was NOT leaving Mommy's arms. So we rolled with the punches and improvised. I think we came out with some great results.

Thank you so much, Jill, for inviting me into your home!
