Love Shoot at Minnehaha

I love meeting new people. Last weekend, I had the chance to do a love shoot at Minnehaha Falls. The day started out pouring rain, but just as our shoot was to begin, the sun came out! It was perfect. My friend, Becky, hired me to take engagement photos as a gift to her sister and her sister's fiance. What a great idea!! It was so fun to meet you guys and I hope you enjoyed your time at the falls!

First Comes Love...

Then comes marriage... third comes the baby! It just so happens that I've been able to photograph this couple in all three of those phrases. Katie and I went to high school together. When she got engaged to Ben, I took their engagement photos as a very new photographer. I was her co-personal attendant at their wedding and took many, many candid shots that day. Now, they're expecting their first baby... a little girl! As usual, I love photographing a mama-to-be. Beautiful moms. Beautiful couples. Lots of fun. Katie and Ben - so excited for you to become parents! I hope I haven't scared you with my many Tyler tales. Looking forward to meeting your daughter so soon!



We braved VERY sub-zero temps for a couple photos!



Fresh Ideas

Recognize these fabulous models? My brother-in-law and his fiance got a summer engagement shoot and a fall session! Okay, so I offered because what a perfect way to get experience! I made them do some crazy things that normal people on a Saturday afternoon don't usually do, but we managed to only get a couple stares from random people walking by. I believe one person walking by even said, "Hey... cool photo!" At least I hope that's what he said :)

The amazing Alison from Alison Lea Photography will be photographing their wedding next May! What a lucky couple!

black and whites are here to stay

These are more photos from my brother-in-law and his fiance, Kala's, cabin shoot. I broke down and am using a flash drive to transfer images to our laptop that has a working internet. I'm loving black and white photos lately, so here is their mini black and white love shoot series...

Cabin Love Preview...

I spent the weekend at my in-laws' cabin up in northern Minnesota with my husband, my in-laws, my brother-in-law and his fiance. While there, we did a mini engagement shoot. Here is a preview... more to come!

First Love Shoot!

I've been excited to do this love shoot for about a month now! Katie is one of my best friends from high school. Us, along with a couple other girls, were inseperable and we even played in the band together (Katie and I both played flute and spent most of our time goofing around and eating candy during practice... so bad, I know... we were not the rebellious group if you can imagine). We sort of lost touch during college, but have reconnected since and its been nothing but fantastic! We are truly life-long friends. She met this wonderful man, Ben, and they are getting married VERY soon (you may even see some wedding pics within the month...). So, on Saturday evening, we went out to Centennial Lakes in Edina... gorgeous! Despite the WIND and random rain shower, it couldn't have been better! I hope you both enjoy the pics. I had a wonderful time doing my FIRST love shoot with you two, so thanks for asking and being so patient with me!
