Hi guys, It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. Life has been busy with sessions and weddings, and I just haven’t had the chance to get on here and share much.
I wasn’t planning on coming on here to share something so personal, but honestly, I just don’t have the mental capacity right now to keep up with messages or even look at my phone for more than five minutes without my head starting to hurt.
This past week has been incredibly hard. What started as neck pain turned into a headache unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, and led to the discovery that I have a brain bleed. I’m currently still in the ICU while doctors work to figure out what’s going on and what caused it. Thankfully, the bleeding has stopped, and for that, I’m beyond grateful. Now we’re working on getting my blood pressure under control and figuring out the next steps.
I also want to be transparent that editing will be slower than usual over the next few weeks. Right now, I’m unable to look at a screen for very long without my head starting to hurt, so I’ll have to take things slowly and give myself time to heal.
If you’ve messaged me about photos over the past week, please know that I haven’t forgotten about you. I promise I’ll get back to everyone as soon as I’m able. If you have a session coming up, please don’t worry. I’ll be reaching out to you personally when I can.
As hard as it is for me to step back from my business and everything I have going on, my health has to come first right now. My kids need their mom.
Thank you to everyone who has checked in, and prayed for me and offered a helping hand. I may not have the energy to respond, but please know that I appreciate every single message.

Quinn is the sweetest addition to the Gydesen Family!

Fall is quickly filling up, so I'm sharing my remaining availability. With weddings taking up most of my weekends this season, I have very limited weekend dates available.

Fall Mini sessions are happening October 25th! These will be 15-minute sessions for $350 and are a great option for updated family photos, couples, or getting those photos ready for your Christmas cards.

I had so much fun with this sweet family!

They were the winners of my Mother's Day giveaway, and they invited me out to their family farm for their session. It was perfect, and their three little girls kept us smiling the whole time. I love when families choose a location that's meaningful to them, it always makes the photos feel that much more special.

Here are a few of my favorites from our evening together.

Boehle Family. Gosh I love hanging out with them! They are all my little besties!

Spent the evening roaming around with Piepyr for her senior photos, and it was such a fun time with her and her mom. We found some beautiful spots, and those beautiful locations came with a few extra “souvenirs.” I left the session with a ton of mosquito bites and, yes, you read that right- 12 ticks. The mosquitoes and ticks love the pretty locations just as much as we do!

With that being said… isn’t she just gorgeous?!

Summer evenings like this are exactly why I love what I do. I’ve gotten to spend time with some pretty amazing seniors, and Morgan was such a fun one to hang out with. We spent the evening talking about her senior year, what’s ahead, and all the exciting things coming her way. She made the whole session so easy and fun, and I loved getting to hear more about what this year holds for her. Morgan is also my girls' swim teacher, and they absolutely adore her. Seeing how kind and patient she is with them is so special. I already know she’s going to make an amazing teacher. She's truly such a special person, and I feel so lucky I got to capture this exciting season of her life.

This sweet family is counting down the days until they meet their newborn twins, and it's safe to say big brother is already their biggest fan. Watching families grow and capturing these moments before everything changes is one of the greatest joys of what I do.

It feels like just yesterday she was all wrapped up for her newborn session, and now she's getting ready to celebrate her first birthday! Avery sure loved her cake!
