Katie, Mark, and little Brianna

I had the pleasure of photographing Katie, Mark, and their beautiful 8-month-old daughter Brianna. I knew Mark way back when I still cuffed my jeans (yikes, I know), and have gotten to catch up with him here and there over the years. Katie and I met about a year ago, and she struck me as sweet and funny as well as simply stunning! The two of them together with Brianna are an absolutely adorable family, and their love for their daughter was evident in every moment I spent with them.

Congratulations on a beautiful family!

Jessica and Nadeen: Climbers!

My close friend Jessica and her daughter Nadeen have a really fun hobby: they like to climb things. They do most of their climbing at the gym (where it’s warm and there are preset handholds and routes and all that good stuff), but when they can, they like to get outside and scale tall rocks in a single bound! Ok, maybe not. But they do climb them.

I was fortunate to be able to join them on one such trip to Taylors Falls. It was a beautiful day to be strapped to the top of a very tall rock (a cliff, even?), praying my homemade harness would hold as I snapped photos from above. In all seriousness, it was a fun day and I had a great time photographing Jessica and Nadeen as they did their thing!

Antoine and Josiah!

At the end of September, I had the privilege of photographing two of my favorite little boys, Antoine and Josiah. Antoine has always been my little buddy; I’ve watched him grow from a tiny little thing into a sweet, energetic, fun-loving boy of almost five years of age! I am now trilled to be able to do the same with his 6 month old brother Josiah…I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for these two!
