Sands Family | Minneapolis Family Photographer


Okay, seriously. This family is WAY too adorable! I met Kirsten through MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) and was lucky enough to get the chance to photograph her family - Luke, Elise, and baby #2 (coming soon!). We had a great time chatting, walking, and playing around St. Anthony Main. Thanks for an incredible session!

Zak and Tina | Minneapolis Child Photographer


Okay, I love my job. Not only do I get to be outside and take photographs, I get to play with fun, energetic kids and meet a lot of amazing people. Tina and I "clicked" the first time we spoke on the phone and have gotten to know each other better since then and I like her even more with each conversation.  I've photographed her and her gorgeous son, Zak, for two years now. And when I say I get to play with energetic kids, I mean Zak. He is a busy boy and kept us running the whole session - whew! It was a blast! :)

Tina told me that she considers me her family photographer for all of Zak's youth. Ah... what better compliment could there be? I am so honored to hold such an important role for their family and I can hardly wait to see them again for their next session!

Kevin - Class of 2014

It really was a pleasure to take Kevin's graduation portraits. I photographed him and his family a few years ago and I'm pretty sure he's grown 2 feet in height since then. I wish him all the best with his senior year of high school and beyond.

Chris & Ashley

When I met my husband, Alex, over ten years ago, the first thing he shared with me was the fact that he was one of four brothers.  Geesh!  I honestly didn't know what I was going to do with that since I come from three sisters.  But, very quickly, I felt like part of the family.  And now, I am so proud to say that I have three additional brothers, Nick, Zach and Chris (in addition to my own brother, Kevin, whom I adore!). 

Fast forward some number of years (nine, to be exact)... I received a phone call asking for my assistance in a surprise for Chris' girlfriend Ashley.  I suspected (and was right) that Chris was going to propose to Ashley.  I created a video with photos from their relationship through the years.  Chris surprised Ashley with flowers, the video, an engagement ring, and a boat cruise on Green Lake (complete with her family, which was also a surprise!). 

Chris and Ashley have a very playful and youthful spirit.  I have always admired their sense of humor, fun and flexibility.  They take risks for risk's sake.  They do ridiculous things just for the laughter of it.  They play games every moment they get.  There is no way that you can be around these two and not have fun.  So, naturally, when they asked me to take their engagement photos, I was thrilled.  I knew, no matter what circumstances we were up against (cloudy day, cold weather, fast sunset), we were going to have a blast.  And that we did! 


Our family couldn't be happier to call Ashley a Walker.   Congratulations Chris and Ashley on your engagement!  Thank you for letting me capture your happiness and love for each other!  Love you both! ~sarah

Capturing Memories

Every morning I welcome the day with my children.  We sit on the couch and read books, have breakfast in our pj's and get ready for our day.  Some mornings it's smooth sailing, other mornings, not so much.

Every day I watch my children learn, discover, play, laugh, cry, and grow.

Every night I put them back into their pajamas, read them a story, sing them a lullaby, tuck them into bed, give them kisses and hugs and, in my heart, give praises and thanks for the beautiful girls before me. 

I see them, every day.  Grace and Madeleine.  And yet, I don't really realize how much they have grown in the past year, until I see a photograph of them.  Grace once stood as tall as Madeleine when Gretchen first started photographing our family.  Madeleine has always needed to be held, and now she is able, agile and active. 

It is these reasons that we treasure our sessions with Gretchen.  We want to remember those days when Grace was still shorter than us ('cause someday, I know she will be taller than me!), when Madeleine made that goofy expression, when Grace wore those bright pink, sparkly shoes and when Madeleine never let go of her Daddy. 

Thank you, Gretchen, for your beautiful photography, for capturing our personalities and for being such a wonderful friend!
