I had the honor of taking Tori and Kyle’s pregnancy announcement photos late last fall. With only a few days before Baby Hill’s due date, we met up in Zumbrota to get some full bump photos. I know this first pregnancy was pretty rocky for Tori, and I was so impressed with how well she’s been taking it day by day. Baby J arrived within a week of these photos, so I’m glad we got them in!
Read MoreComing soon: Baby Hill!
This was my first pregnancy announcement shoot and I was so nervous and excited! Lucky for me, Tori and Kyle are two of the sweetest and kindest people that exist and all nervousness quickly faded away into lots of laughter. They were still pretty new to the big news about Baby Hill’s arrival, too, and so the entire session felt intimate and surreal, all of us trying to comprehend what a baby in the mix would mean. I can say with confidence, though, after an hour with both of them (and their adorable pups), that Baby Hill is going to be well-loved and cared for.

Welcome Suvi! A Rochester Newborn Session
o many of us have been anxiously, eagerly awaiting Suvi James’ arrival, and obviously none more so than her glowing parents. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the wondrous presence of a 2-week old baby. Suvi nearly made my heart stop with her perfection. She already has wise, searching eyes and a range of emotional expressions. Whether she yawned, wailed, or smiled, it was magic. All photo shoots have an element of sacredness for me, but knowing how brief Suvi will be this tiny and fresh to the world gave this bearing witness a special quality. I delighted in every moment of the shoot itself, as well as the editing.

Courtney + James + Baby Bump
Courtney and James are two of my favorite people, so when they asked me to take some baby bump photos, I was both honored and excited. This was officially my first maternity shoot, and I couldn’t have asked for a more sweet or adorable family. We warmed up with a few trial shots at Keepsake Cidery in Dundas, Minnesota, then strolled around downtown Northfield before making a quick pit-stop by the Carleton Arboretum before the bugs devoured us.
I can’t wait to meet their little one and watch these two parent. For now, here are some of my favorites of these three.
