• Baby Jack arrived a few weeks early to make sure to surprise his mom just in time for Mother’s Day! What an awesome surprise and probably one of the most memorable Mother’s Day Amanda will have 🙂 Steve and Amanda’s bundle of joy is truly one of the cutest and most cooperative newborns I’ve ever had the pleasure of capturing. He was wide awake for a lot of the session, but got quite sleepy toward the end! It’s so apparent how much Steve and Amanda LOVE and adore their new baby – I know you all will love looking at images of little Jack just as much as I do. I’m so glad I got to capture this incredibly important part of the Brown Family’s life! 🙂 This sweet little family was a pleasure to work with and I’m so excited to see Jack again at his 6 month and 1 year sessions.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage He smiles SO much – it’s just amazing that a baby so small already has so much expression 🙂Image Amanda and Steve both went to UND, so obviously, little Jack has the UND spirit at a young age!ImageImage

    Jack LOVED being in the baskets I brought to his session, he was always the happiest when he was snuggled in there with a lot of blankets, looking outside, and with mom close by!

    I loveeee this image. They are both so in love with little Jack – it’s so awesome to be able to capture sweet moments like this with a new family!

  • I always love when big moments happen to friends! Brienne and I were classmates in grad school at St. Thomas. Brienne and Josh just bought a new house this winter and wanted to get a few pictures outside of THEIR first new home! Of course I was up for the opportunity to tour and capture their ADORABLE home. I mean, c’mon, a teal green door, it’s love at first sight! Enjoy a few pictures of these two and their puppy, Avery!

  • Miss Nora’s one-year-old session was such a BLAST! She is such a little cutie with SO much personality! Nora was so good the entire time and the smiles didn’t stop throughout her session – trust me, this is rare with an active one-year-old! Nora has such an angelic face, paired with her beautiful blue eyes and curly blonde hair – she’s definitely a Midwest baby! I had so much fun meeting her and her beautiful mom, Kayla! I know you all will just love these images of adorable Nora, especially the CAKE SMASH ones! I’ve had quite the spring with 3 one-year-old GIRLS and CAKE SMASHES! I absolutely love shooting these sessions because it shows off the personality and how much each baby has grown in just one short year. Enjoy these images of Nora and have an awesome start to your week everyone!
