Meet Ann, a fun and beautiful birthday girl who is enjoying life. How is she celebrating her birthday? This girl is off to explore New York with her sisters. I first met her when I photographed her sister Sheila's 30th birthday photos. Style apparently runs through this family! I also love how they have taken the time to commemorate the moment of the new year of life and enjoy the stage. As we walked, we talked about how Ann works as a nurse on night shifts. Her sister just completed her nursing training also. She is now on the hunt for a job. (Style and nursing runs between these sisters ..read more

How cute is this little one? Would you believe me if little Gabriel here came five weeks early? While Mom and Dad expected to have him a week early, they were quite surprised when Anna's water broke. Shortly after, they went to the hospital and Gabriel made his entrance!  Daniel's sister reached out a few months ago about desiring to gift a newborn portrait session. This was extra fun because we first met up with these two when we took their engagement portraits and then had the pleasure of capturing their wedding day in downtown Minneapolis. It was an intimate day then and being invite ..read more

The first time we took Austin and Sam's photo was their engagement photos at these locations in Hastings, Minnesota. Coming full circle now to do their maternity portraits in the same charming town was a fun then-and-now moment for us all! (Although last time, it was in the middle of summer and hot. This time, it was in winter and rather chilly.) We love to walk alongside a couple and document the next chapter in their love story. I'm not kidding about the weather being opposite to their engagement session. Their maternity portraits were the day before we got windchills below -20. T ..read more

Meet the Hillman Family. If you're looking for a family you'd want to be adopted into, I'd recommend this fun crew. They laughed and smiled the entire session, showed such gratitude for one another and me, and I left so full of joy after hanging out with this family. Hey! It's Lindsay Wiggins! I'm the wifey in our husband and wife wedding and portrait photographer team based in Cottage Grove, Minnesota! What exactly does that mean? You'll have to find out more about us, but the basic idea is that I rock all the portrait sessions and Mark sometimes joins in the fun to second ..read more

How fun is this crew? I loved the chance getting to capture the multiple groupings within this extended family! We played peek-a-boo with the sun moving in and out of the clouds for their entire family photo session at Afton State Park, but they kept smiling and we kept adjusting and moving, leaving a few minutes to spare after capturing every one. Hey! It's Lindsay Wiggins! I'm the wifey in our husband and wife wedding and portrait photographer team based in Cottage Grove, Minnesota! What exactly does that mean? You'll have to find out more about us, but the basic ide ..read more

I love these sweet faces. It was so fun being back at Afton State Park! The last time we were there with this precious family, it was for the Anderson's maternity photos with their firstborn. It has been a pleasure to capture their photos through the past few years and see how they change and yet stay the same. Anderson family, you have some cute kids, but even sweeter relationships! Press on! Hey! I'm Lindsay Wiggins! I'm the wifey in our husband and wife wedding and portrait photographer team based in Cottage Grove, Minnesota! What exactly does that mean? You'll have to find ou ..read more

Meet Gavin, a Woodbury High class of 2024 senior. Gavin is the type of guy who is so relaxed and chill that when he does speak it makes you smile. He enjoys hanging out with his friends and video gaming with his brother (whose senior portraits we took last year) when he is not actively working on the job at Jerry's. Gavin, thanks for the fun and chill evening on a beautiful night! Have an awesome senior year! Hey! I'm Lindsay Wiggins! I'm the wifey in our husband and wife wedding and portrait photographer team based in Cottage Grove, Minnesota! What exactly does t ..read more

Meet Alex, a Simley High School class of 2024 senior who chose to spend his senior photo session hiking at Afton State Park. Alex has spent a lot of time with his family growing up. Some of their favorite spots have been the Grand Canyon which they did last summer, Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, as well as their yearly trip up north. His favorite trip overall has been heading to Arizona and he's been able to visit a few times -- once with his family as well as a time with his golf team. When he's not hiking or in school, he might just be on the golf course. Partly because h ..read more

Lindsey and Luke first met when they just so happened to go on the same mission trip to Wyoming from their church. They hit it off right away and were soon serving alongside each other as volunteer youth leaders. A year later, they started dating, and a year after that were engaged. The fun part for me is that I met Lindsey when I was a youth leader and she saw the very newly married Mark and Lindsay in those days, so when she reached out that she was looking for a photographer to capture her wedding, it was so fun to chat with her again! Lindsey and Luke were surrounded by those near and dea ..read more

Meet David, a Park High School senior who enjoys football, wrestling, and MMA fighting. His plan for the future is to see where football takes him in college and he has some dreams about where that might be. For now, he also plans to focus on medical engineering wherever he goes. In his free time from sports, he works at Home Goods and beyond that, shared that he does not have a lot of other free time.  Have an awesome senior year, David! Thanks for the privilege to take your senior portraits and loved the splash pad ending! Hey! I'm Lindsay Wiggins! I'm the wifey in ..read more
