There are some families you photograph, and then there are families you get to watch grow.
Josh and Erin are definitely the latter.

Their story with us actually started on our couch. Yep—their love story began right here in our home, and over the years, we’ve had the incredible privilege of photographing so many of their biggest moments. We photographed their proposal, then their engagement session, then their wedding day… and now, somehow, we’re here taking their family photos with little Jake!

When a senior session meets motorcycles with your boyfriend, your brother’s car, your favorite camera, and a whole lot of personality… you have a lot of fun. 🏍️📷🚗

Senior sessions should feel like you—and this one definitely did. 🤍

When was the last time you had professional photos taken?
Not the quick selfie. Not the picture someone grabbed on their phone. Not the photo where everyone is smiling except the person taking it...

We're talking about the kind of photos where everyone gets to be in the picture.

Maybe your answer is, "Honestly? It's been years."
Or maybe you're thinking, "We've never actually done them."

Or perhaps you have thousands of pictures on your phone, but when you scroll through them, you realize something:
You're hardly in any of them.

We get it. Life is busy. There are kids to get out the door, work to do, activities to get to, meals to make, and approximately 47 things happening at any given moment.

When three generations of a family are finally together, you take the photos. 🤍

This August family session at Lock & Dam #2 in Hastings, Minnesota brought together 11 family members—two grandparents, their adult children and significant others, and two young grandchildren—for a summer evening along the Mississippi River.

They wanted updated family photos for their photo wall at home, which made this session especially meaningful. Throughout the evening, we captured the big, full-family portraits they came for, along with plenty of smaller groupings and combinations they could choose from for their home.

And there was a lot of fun mixed in, too.

A beautiful summer evening with the whole family together. 🤍

The kids were giggly, the sunset was amazing, and there was so much love and joy between them. These are the moments I love getting to capture—the little laughs, the big smiles, and the simple gift of having everyone together.

What a night to remember. ✨

There's something pretty special about senior sessions that feel less like a photo shoot and more like an evening spent getting to know someone.

That was exactly what Kara’s session at Highlands Park in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, felt like. We met in the evening and wandered the paths as the sun started to dip lower in the sky. We walked, talked, laughed, and stopped whenever we found a spot with beautiful light. And the sunset? Absolutely worth waiting for.

At one point, Kara looked up at the clouds and described them perfectly:
“It’s like cotton candy.”

​Honestly, I couldn’t have said it better.

Not every love story unfolds the way it's planned.

When this couple got married during the COVID pandemic, many of the moments they had dreamed about simply weren't possible. Like countless others, they chose marriage over waiting—but that meant celebrating without the wedding they had imagined.

This year, they decided it was finally time.
