This maternity session is especially close to my heart! Samantha and I have known each other since elementary school, were best friends throughout high school and college, have gotten to be part of each other’s weddings and now I have the joy of photographing her becoming a mama! Samantha got the privilege of seeing me at the beginning of my love of photography when I was photographing flowers and making my friends model for me (oh boy 😅). It’s surreal to watch one of your oldest friends about to welcome a baby girl!
For Samantha and Kegan’s spring maternity session, we had to get a little creative since it isn’t really spring here yet in Minnesota! This beautiful little grove of pine trees in Prior Lake was the perfect background for their maternity session – we got a little green, the sun was out for some truly beautiful light, and we were protected from the chilly wind! Samantha’s white dress was the perfect choice for this spot – you really can never go wrong with a flowy neutral dress like this! I always take time to scout out a great location for my clients, dependent on the season, time of day, location they’re envisioning and what they want their photos to look and feel like. I love how these turned out AND I can’t wait for “real” spring to get here soon 😉
I am so excited to meet this baby girl in a few short weeks for their newborn session – stay tuned!

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 […]
