Mary & Will’s summer maternity session is CHOCK FULL of joy, giggles, & snuggles (my faves!). It’s been a huge honor to photograph Mary & Will for the past several years – from their engagement session, to their wedding photos, extended family photos last fall, and now maternity photos! Mary & Will booked my First Year Baby Bundle so I get to capture their babe’s whole first year of life – from bump to 1st birthday! Baby Bundle includes maternity session, newborn session, 3 month, 6 month, and 1 year photos. It’s always wild to me how much babies change during their first year, so I’m so dang excited to photograph this next big season for their family!
We took this summer maternity session at a beautiful park in Wayzata – Mary opted to go barefoot for most of the session which I just LOVED! We had beautiful weather and got to enjoy the gardens and the shores of Lake Minnetonka. One thing I really love about Will & Mary’s maternity photos is how much JOY these two share – their connection is so evident, so sweet, and they constantly make each other laugh. It’s my favorite! Maternity photos are often so similar to engagement photos – of course we are focused on baby/bump but it’s really just capturing the couple’s relationship during this stage & their excitement and anticipation for what’s next – just like engagement photos!
We also lucked out with finding a perfect, private little dock spot for the last few minutes of sunset at the end of their session. The soft colors, calm waters and romantic vibe were a perfect way to tie up their summer maternity photo session.
Counting down the days until I get to meet baby girl Warmka – so happy for you, Mary & Will!!
One of the questions I hear most from families is also the one that causes the most pre-session stress: “What on earth do we all wear?!” I get it. I’ve stood in front of my own closet, completely overwhelmed, trying to pull together outfits for everyone before our family photos. So if you’re feeling that, […]

One of the most common questions I get from expecting parents is when to take newborn photos. And honestly, it’s such a good question! There’s a lot of information out there, and if this is your first baby, you might not know what to expect or how to plan for it all. I would love […]
After welcoming my beautiful daughter Amelia into the world, I quickly learned just how challenging it can be to choose what to wear for newborn photos. Birth is an unforgettable, incredible experience, but also an intense and sometimes overwhelming one. In the midst of such a life-changing moment, figuring out how to prepare and what […]
