holly | owatonna maternity photographer

Holly was one of the very first (if not the first) people to contact me when my photography blog and facebook site went live, such an exciting day! It was a little rainy the day of our session but the rain held off perfectly, providing us with beautiful light and made for amazing colors in the photos. It's not like me to not post ONE black and white photo, but I just could not get enough of the color from this session. Looking forward to meeting Baby B!

Jamie and her husband travelled all the way from River Falls, Wisconsin for her maternity session! Being that I went to college there it was fun to catch up on new things in the area and remember how tasty China Moon was :) So nice to meet this fun couple!

This beautiful couple was a joy to be around! I love meeting couples that are expecting their first baby, so fun to see their excitement and anticipation!

jess | mankato maternity photographer

I convinced my friend Jess (ha, or I'm pretty sure that's what happened) to let me take some maternity photos for her so I took her out to a family friend's farm and made her do all sorts of things :) Thankfully she was up for it all and I'm really happy with how they turned out! Baby O is due in just a few days, so excited to meet him/her (leaning more towards 'her')!

loving the sunflare!

 

 

surprise announcement

A client of mine reached out to me a few weeks ago to help them create a fun announcement for some exciting news their family had to share. I LOVE surprise and secret shoots, I just don't love keeping them secret (but I promise I do :)). Congratulations to this adorable family on baby number three, the word is out!

krissy | maternity

Krissy had reached out to me a few months ago to book me for newborn photos and then as a surprise, here sister-in-law purchased a maternity + newborn package. So glad she did! She is such a beautiful mama-to-be and I can't wait to meet baby M!

I had the pleasure of photographing a friend from college last weekend. We spent many days and nights working together either at ShopKo or Menards :) Alissa, your family is beautiful and you are quite possibly the most adorable pregnant mama I know! Can't wait to meet baby S!

The M family stopped by this afternoon for a little family/maternity session. What a beautiful family! Thanks for letting my capture these moments with you all and I can't wait to meet the new little one!
