OLIVIA -- COMING SOON

Anna is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met (one of my dear friends), and she and her husband Kyle are just about to have a new baby, Olivia. We had such fun this afternoon in the studio capturing the delicious baby tummy!



Kyle = Luckiest dude EVER














I can't wait to meet you, Olivia!

ANN + RYAN :: ENGAGEMENT

Ryan was so kind as to acquiesce to Ann's wardrobe suggestions today as we headed out to the ever-popular engagement spot, Minnehaha Falls. These two are so cute together and I can't wait to work with them again!







Let's just be honest... its all about the bride. Isn't this one gorgeous?


I love graffitti for a backdrop, but I am always baffled by "Pears" which has been spray-painted on this building (you can see part of it on the far left of this photo). Fruit is bad-ass, don't get me wrong, I guess I just thought that was obvious.


I loved the hoodies... Ryan's say in the wardrobe department. :)



I think this last one is my favorite. Can't wait for the wedding!

ALAYNA + WILL :: WEDDING

Alayna and Will are very special to me as they are the very first non-family members to book my new company, and this Saturday was the day we'd been waiting for. Everything was just lovely and I can't wait for Alayna and Will's "Rock the Dress" session. Love you both!















The ceremony was on the bridge at Woodbury Central Park, which was a really cool option for a winter wedding -- all of the gorgeous natural light of an outdoor wedding without any of the cold! Yay!














Our lovely and very talented second shooter, Jessica, got some great shots throughout the day from an alternative perspective. This is my highest recommendation for a wedding coverage add-on.


After lunch at the Lexington, we spent an hour at my favorite spots in St. Paul. You'll notice that Will can't seem to wipe this ridiculously giddy grin off of his face the whole time :)... He ruined some of my visions for the "starving, angry fashion model look" but that smile made it so clear how happy and full of laughter these two will be together!
