Sophie On the Farm

March 28, 2019 |

Sophie On the Farm

Last weekend, it finally warmed up enough for us to spend some longer stretches of time outdoors! It felt amazing! The sun shone for most of Saturday, so we brought Sophie over to my in-laws' farm and she got to try out her new rain boots in the farm yard! As I watched her run around happily, it struck me that the last time the weather was this warm (last fall), she wasn't even walking much yet! So that fun afternoon spent exploring outside ushered in a whole new era for us: Sophie-girl now gets … [Read more...]

Our 2018 Christmas Cards (+ a promo code for you!)

Our 2018 Christmas Cards (+ a promo code for you!)

Can you believe it's that time of year already?! While I may not be a fan of the bitter wind and gray, snowy skies, I have to admit it - I'm excited for the holiday season. We already have our tree up because I wanted our daughter to get as much Christmas-y enjoyment out of the decor as possible! And we've already been dancing to our Christmas playlist this week as we make supper. :) After all, when the temperature is down in the 20s and teens here in Minnesota...I feel like the Christmas … [Read more...]

The B. Family of Four

The B. Family of Four

It's always such an honor when I'm asked to snap photos of others' families! There is something so dear and special about family photography. It gives us moments frozen in time, which is so meaningful especially since little ones grow up so quickly! Every season truly is a special, unique, beautiful season. I'm touched that they trusted me behind the camera! :) (Again! You can see their session last year as a family of three, almost four, here! Watching families grow is so sweet, I could … [Read more...]

Our First Family Photos

Our First Family Photos

Sophie is already 1 month old today!! Can you believe it?? A couple weeks ago, when she was 2 weeks old, we snapped some family photos together. Although we opted not to get a professional shoot done, we definitely wanted to capture this special season of life and what Sophie looked like this young! (Now we have photos for our Christmas cards, too! This year, we'll be using Minted again.) We passed the camera back and forth between us to make sure we got the shots we wanted of Sophie … [Read more...]

Photos from The Magic of Light Class

Photos from The Magic of Light Class

In September, I had the opportunity to take an online class taught by Summer Murdock called The Magic of Light. It's a class I had been dying to get into for the longest time! I mentioned this in my "what I'm looking forward to" September post, but the class typically sells out in literal seconds. I just happened to get myself signed up in the nick of time on registration day! :) The Magic of Light is a 3-week class offered a couple times a year, and it's open to professional and … [Read more...]

The B Family // Mini Session

The B Family // Mini Session

You saw a photo from this mini session in my September Recap post, but I wanted to share more today! I had the opportunity in September to shoot a mini session alongside Carissa Christine, who did our wedding photos several years ago! Carissa and I have met a few times in the past year to chat about photography - the business side of it, the photo shoots, editing, and more. It has been such a neat experience - I'm so glad I reached out to her! Doing this mini session with Carissa was a … [Read more...]

Our Maternity Photos

Our Maternity Photos

At the end of August, Bjorn and I did a mini session with Kaitlyn C Photography in the Twin Cities. I am so, so glad we went ahead and got maternity photos done! It almost didn't happen, not only because of iffy weather that evening, but also because of Bjorn's busy schedule! It's difficult working around all he's involved in (though I'm very proud of all he does!). I've realized that scheduling things for just myself is super easy compared to working around my husband's … [Read more...]

Amy + Tyler’s Engagement Photos

Bjorn's older sister, Amy, is getting married at the beginning of July! We are all so very excited for her and Tyler. They are a wonderful match and they have such fun together! The way they look at each other is magic, and I love to see the deep friendship they have in their relationship as well. :) Last week, when Amy and Tyler were in town, we got together for a little engagement shoot. We had stormy, rainy (and windy) weather on and off for most of the day, but when the skies cleared, we … [Read more...]
