He’s 6 Months | St. Louis Park Photographer |

One last cute little family shoot to share with you.  I have to say I miss the green grass already…but am so grateful for the mild fall we had this year.  Much better than the mountain of snow we had early November last year!  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving…don’t forget to be…

I’m dying. Seriously, they are so good that it hurts to look at them. I think this has been your best session to date. Next year, I would like a session in that exact spot with my family so I can line my entire wall full of gallery wraps. Jess. Amazing does not come close to summing up how incredible these images are. They really ought to be published in a magazine or hung in a gallery for everyone to enjoy. Breathtaking.

Morgan 2012 | MN Natural Light Photographer |

And here is the beautiful Morgan.  She decided to have her photo session at her home…and it was the perfect choice as it has the most beautifully landscaped yard ever!  There were endless spots with amazing light and scenery to shoot in.  And then there were these Oak trees with their branches sweeping down the…

Best Friends | Minneapolis Child Photographer |

This shoot started with a location.  I am what I like to call a ‘drive by photographer.’  I drive past a location on the side of the road…see some gorgeous light…and can’t get it out of my head until I shoot there.  I’ve been passing this little stream for over a year…dreaming of this shoot….

Oh that so takes me back to that magical time. My 9 year old daughter has started to play out more with her friends now but sadly they don’t have anywhere picturesque to play. But the conversations I hear, the perfume making and home making it’s so sweet, now if I could go back in time that’s when I’d go, to life before boys !
And all those memories just show what beautiful photographs that you have taken, pictures are not just images they are a window to your memories evoking all those feelings and smells and tastes that you thought you had forgotten.
I love your view Jess x

Almost Spring | On Location Photographer |

So it probably comes as no surprise when I say that the weather has been less than cooperative this spring and I’ve had to reschedule a few sessions.  I think I rescheduled this family at least twice.  That is why when Easter rolled around and was sunny and beautiful out we met at the last…

All Boy. | Twin Cities Photographer |

And then some.  Meet Ayden.  I’ve known this little man since he was in utero .  His mom and I have been best friends for 15 (!) years…and I’ve had the pleasure of watching him grow up.  I knew my session with Ayden was going to be interesting because his personality is the rare combination…
