Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I’m all grown up.

I started my business back in 2008 as a high school student in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Ten years later, as I photograph people I met way back in high school…

I tell them how crazy it is that they’re grown up and have a baby.

Then I realize… I’m grown up and have a baby too!

I guess being grown up and adulting isn’t that bad after all. :)

Stephanie - we did it! Yay for the rain holding off! It was so great to catch up with you guys and meet your beautiful family. I hope you guys enjoy all the photos!

Every family has a story.

Sometimes, when it’s your own story, it’s hard to see it until someone else captures it for you.

You may not notice the little ways you smile at your husband. (Some of us even scowl - oops! #honesty)

You may not notice the way your daughter throws her head back when she belly laughs.

You may not notice how close they stay by each other when they roam a giant field.

And you may not notice how beautiful and real your family is - midst all the imperfections you see on a daily basis.

But it’s yours. And that makes your story beautiful.

Heather and Eric, oh my goodness look at those colors shine! We could NOT have picked a better day to do your spring photos, and we could not have invited the sun to show up in a more lovely way. Thanks for sharing your family with me and letting me tell your story! Enjoy!! :)
