✨ Senior session with Chloe! ✨

From sweet and casual by the lake to kicking up water and showing off a little bit of her wrestling world, this session was full of fun and personality! 📸✨

Chloe, you were so much fun to photograph! Thanks for letting me capture this season of your life! 💕

🎓🌟Mari - Class of 2027🌟🎓

Wowza! This girl was ON FIRE last night! 🔥

She started out a little nervous, but it didn’t take long for her to completely relax—and once she did, she made my job SO easy! 😍

And then there was Mack. 🐾❤️ Her pit bull, her sidekick, and clearly… the boss of the session. 😂 We quickly figured out that the best plan was to follow his lead—and it paid off! We ended up with some seriously sweet photos of the two of them together. 🥹📸

This session was so much fun, and I am SO excited to share!

**Class of 2027 🎓**

I've had the privilege of knowing Samuel since preschool, and it's pretty special to watch him grow into the young man he is today. He and my son have been classmates, teammates, and friends for many years - and I couldn't be prouder to capture this milestone for him!

Samuel is a good student, a great athlete, and most importantly, a genuinely good person. Those are things that matter most, and he has all three!

We kept the session relaxed, captured some great photos, and of course, made sure that Otis, the family wiener dog 🐾, was included!

So much fun capturing this chapter for you, Samuel!~ Here's to an amazing senior year and all that is ahead! ❤️👨‍🎓

It feels a little surreal taking senior pictures of the boy who made me a mom. How did we get here so fast? ❤️

For his first senior session, it only seemed right to take them at his grandparents’ farm — a place that holds so many memories and is such a special part of who he is. The fields, the farm, the familiar places, and all the memories made here over the years made the perfect backdrop for this next chapter.

Watching him grow from that little boy running around the farm into the young man standing in front of my camera today is something I’ll never quite have words for.

So proud of you, Leo. And yes… I’ll probably be a little emotional about this whole senior-year thing. ❤️🌾📸

Here’s a casual, heartfelt version that captures his personality and 2 things he loves: his truck and the farm. 🤎🌾

But, let’s be honest… he wasn’t exactly thrilled about taking senior pictures. 😂 But we kept things casual, comfortable, and true to him—right at his grandparents’ farm, where he could just be himself.

And what can I say? He was a trooper! He went along with all of my ideas, trusted the process, and even though we didn’t get any teeth, I managed to capture a little bit of a smile. 😉 I’ll take it!

These are the moments I love most—photos that feel natural, personal, and tell a little piece of your story. Congratulations, Gage! 🎓🌾

Some of the tiniest moments become the biggest treasures. 🤍

There is something incredibly special about welcoming a brand-new life into the family—and even more special when I get to preserve those first precious days behind my camera.

My sweet great-nephew is already so deeply loved. Welcome to the world, little one. You’ll always have a family cheering you on. ✨

🎓✨ Graduation Session — UMD Class of 2024 ✨🎓

Throwing it back to this special graduation session for my niece as she celebrated her graduation from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2024 🤍

She was joined by two of her closest friends, and together they marked such an exciting milestone as they wrapped up college and stepped into the next chapter of life: adulthood. The friendship, laughter, and joy between these three made this session so fun to capture.

We spent time at both the beautiful UMD campus and Canal Park in Duluth — two perfect backdrops to reflect both their college memories and the excitement of what’s ahead. 🌊🎓

Still so proud of these graduates and everything they’ve accomplished—and even more excited for where life takes them next. 💛
