Sukato Family Portraits - Japanese Gardens, MN
Having just graduated from Normandale Community College...I keep looking for opportunities to go back on campus. It was such an incredible experience and the Japanese Gardens has a very special place in my heart. (Many FITBIT steps were obtained in that location :) We had a lovely time roaming and looking for fish in the pond while taking a few photos. Growing up...
A year with young children means loads of changes! And I can prove it! Here's last years family portraits.
Gruber Family portraits
It's no secret that I love capturing weddings, but, oh boy getting to see families (that I love) year after year and being a small part of their story is really high up there too. This family...I could talk to them for hours. They know me and I know them. We don't hang out, but we definitely could. I love being around them that much! It started with family portraits. They let me into their home and their hearts years ago when their sweet twins come home from the hospital. And from there I have watched them grow as a family. It's weird, but I feel proud of them. We all know that life isn't always easy, but I'm thankful they kept fighting for each other and their family. Family Portraits capture this season and this moment. That's what makes them beautiful.
Thank you Gruber Family for letting me be a part of your story :)
Johnson Family Portraits - 3 Generations together
Normally at this time of year I'm busy shooting wedding photography, but I had the incredible privilege of capturing this amazing family (3 generations together) and it made me smile. No one really "likes" to have their picture taken. It's uncomfortable and awkward, but my goal is always to lessen the chore of it and make it fun because everyone loves having the images when it done! So, I lead this sweet family through the Guthrie, Mill City and over to Izzy's for ice cream...the photoshoot became an enjoyable night spent with family :) (and me.) Thank you for choosing me to be your family photography. I can't wait for the next time we get together for family portraits! ICE CREAM AGAIN??????
Calatayud Family Portraits - Mini Sessions
It was a perfect fall day. And Minnesota Harvest is my favorite apple orchard...I feel at home there. I love that I get to meet friends/clients there and capture their precious stage of life!
Welmers Family Portraits - Minnesota Harvest (Jordan, MN)
I love this family. Truly. They have a special place in my heart. I shot their wedding years ago and they've trusted me to capture their sweet growing family every year since then. I am so honored. And words cannot describe how excited I am for their new addition.
The Walker Family Portraits - Bloomington, MN
Some of my clients have become friends. I can't help it. I see them every year and I get to watch their families grow and change and I get to capture sweet moments. I feel like I know them. Often the kids want me to join them for dinner after the shoot and that always makes me smile. This family holds a special place in my heart. Sometimes that happens and it's a treasure. They are very easy to love!
Gaurmaccia Family Portraits - Minneapolis, MN (Centennial Lakes)
This summer has been so beautiful. I love taking family portraits during the week and shooting weddings on weekend. Centennial Lakes is a great location for family photography because it offers tons of different background within a short walking distance! I'm loving shooting there at the moment. I met the Gaurmaccia family early one morning and we had a great time capturing their sweet stage of life.
Enjoy!

The Stennes Family Portraits - Buffalo, MN
There are clients that become friends and there are friends that become clients. The Stennes family is very close to my heart. There were friends first and then awesome clients. I love them...a lot. Taking family portraits with four kids isn't easy, but add heat and humidity and it's a little harder. I like having time to slow down the session and be able to get great moments (even though we had a bee sting, sidewalk spills and 2 year old meltdowns :) Family portraits are hard work, but they are so worth it. Eryn understands the importance of dressing for photo shoot. She has yearly photos from previous shoots hanging all over her home. And here the first one! I love it when clients (and friends) keep coming back for family portraits! Thank you!
Deneen Family Portraits, Edina, MN. (Centennial Lakes)
I love Centennial Lakes. (even more lately cause I've realized it's a PokemonGo hot spot :) This family had a reunion and celebrated with photos! I like that kind of party.
Kuskie Family Portraits - Prior Lake, MN (Lakefront Park)
Summer nights in Prior Lake have been absolutely beautiful...even better when I get to capture gorgeous family portraits. Wedding and portraits is my day job, but it's getting to know the clients I love most! Enjoy!
The Lindsay Family Portraits - Eden Prairie, MN
I have known this family for years and they are very close to my heart. Taking their family portraits was my privilege. My family lives in 3 countries and I've lived in Minnesota for the last 16 years, so I have friends that are like family. The Lindsay's are wonderful...and they make really cute kids!

Family Photography
The warm weather means...it's time to get outside and take pictures again! It was such a gorgeous afternoon at the Japanese Gardens...we had so much fun getting these images. All photography should be this easy. :)
Sick Day
One of the greatest parts of being a mom is taking care of your sick kids. No one can care for my babies like I do. Today I was struck by how beautiful my baby is when she is all cozy on the couch. Even when she's not herself...she's stunning. So I did what every caring mom would do in this situation and I ran to get my camera. Sick at home...and still beautiful.
Jansen Family Portraits
Sometimes family portraits is a little crazy...but, we're always glad we do it cause the pictures are memories for years to come. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting me capture your sweet family. I don't mind a little crazy...especially when it involves a water fight:)
Calatayud Family Portraits - (Arboretum - Chanhassen, MN)
When I capture the same families year after year I'm honored to see them grow and change. Family Portraits are different every year because the kids change. It's amazing to watch. Capturing their new stage of life is so fun...especially when parents are able to let them just be kids during a shoot. It's a little crazy, but the pictures are priceless.
The Sacco Family Portraits - Minnesota Family Photography
There comes a time when you need to put away the Pinterest boards and just have fun with photography. We did that. The smiles were real and the boys had fun! I got it all on camera!
Connor is 6 months - Edina, Minnesota (Family Photography)
Centennial Lakes...makes me smile.
