Iyla is chasing goals, in life and on the ice.
She recently committed to continue her education and play hockey at a D1 program out east. Her first collegiate game will be against her hometown team, the Minnesota Gophers!
When she’s not on the ice, Iyla works at a local restaurant, hangs out with friends on the lake, watches movies (her favorite actress is Blake Lively), and plays with her cat named Goose.
Photographing Jack and his identical twin, I couldn’t help but be charmed by their brotherly banter and bond.
They share a lot of history, from boat outings on the lake to basketball games to a mission trip in Mexico.
But even twins have individual talents and passions. Jack’s is track & field. He is the 2021 Minnesota state champion in pole vault.
Almost as impressive: he can walk on his hands!
The temperature during her photo shoot was 99 degrees, but Mackenzie never broke a sweat. She’s a lifeguard and the heat just doesn’t get to her.
Good thing, because in a few days Mackenzie is heading to a warm climate …. she’ll be spending her senior year as an exchange student in Italy.
With her adventurous spirit and boundless energy (from 14 years of competitive gymnastics!), her year abroad will no doubt be a fun and memorable one.
For Connor, life is better at the ballpark.
He’s a lefty pitcher and hopes to continue his baseball career in college. I don’t know much about baseball, but we both agreed “Field of Dreams” is a great movie.
Connor loves to be outdoors- camping, hiking, or on the lake [he learned to wake surf this summer]. He also plays football. But baseball is his number one passion.
With his discipline, ambition, and positive outlook, no doubt Connor will hit it out of the park.
