Ahhhh I heart this newborn session so much!!!! I was introduced to the Rossini family through a mutual friend and was instantly drawn to this sweet mama and her lovely family. This is the second session I’ve had the pleasure of photographing for them and I was excited to see how much big brother had grown and capture their growing family. Big brother was adorable and was excited to lead me upstairs to her nursery to meet his precious little sister.

Fresh 48 Hospital Session | Saint Paul, MN Lifestyle Photographer

There is something to be said about the love that spills out of that hospital room whenever I arrive to photograph a Fresh 48 session. Walking down the maternity ward and hearing the sequels of new big brothers and sisters, the joyful laughter of a grandparent, or seeing family members excitedly holding gifts as they walk towards your room is something that is so special to witness. This session was exactly like that. This is a sacred place and I am honored to be a part of it. Your baby’s ten tiny little fingers and ten tiny little toes will be documented. That beautiful cord too. And all the ..read more

It’s my honor to capture a growing family. This mama contacted me in early Spring to book a newborn session for her first baby. We met at their home with a warm hello and the most adorable nursery all decorated in whites, creams, and the delicate details of a fresh newborn baby. The connection between a family and their newborn baby is beyond beautiful and I was honored to capture this for them. We spent a few hours capturing those sweet little details you won’t want to forget. The way the hair curled in the back from their time in the womb. The wrinkled fingers and toes. The beautiful gifts f ..read more

As many of you don't know, I have spent the last 15 years working in the correctional field. I resigned to become a stay at home mama because I know how fleeting this time is with your little ones. I continued on my journey with photography because these moments are meant to be cherished and loved. Take it from me. This time goes by fast. From the moment they are born you will ask yourself 1,958 times where the time went…in just the first month. Your time in the hospital with your newborn goes by in the blink of an eye. This is why capturing these fleeting moments are so important to me as a m ..read more

Meeting sweet Sloane was quite the honor. She is full of personality and love. Her mama and I have been friends since high school and after a number of years we connected over Facebook. I’ve always been an on-location photographer, traveling to my clients homes, meeting at common outdoor locations, and really capturing the essence of family and love in an environment my client is most comfortable. This little girl was no exception. Sloane and her mama greeted me at the front door with lots of smiles. She didn’t mind someone new being in her environment and she was excited to show me her r ..read more

This past year went by fast. Like, really fast. I remember when spring arrived and I couldn’t wait get out and shoot under the warm sun. I was especially excited because early on in the year I had invested in some education and I was super pumped to get started. The year 2017 brought the most photo sessions thus far and I am incredibly grateful for every single session. And the more people I photographed, the more I realized that I need to continue to invest in myself to continue to bring a better experience for my clients. It has made a huge difference in the photos my clients receive an ..read more
