Joe & Summer

Another beautiful Minnesota Barn Wedding in the books! I met the bride, Summer, at SCSU when I was studying to be an Elementary Education Teacher (switched majors, but I have my sub license for fun! Anyways…) and had no idea that one day I’d be photographing her beautiful wedding! It’s crazy how life works.

Fast forward 4-5 years, and here we are. Her big day. To start, me and the wedding videographer headed to Maple Lake, Minnesota, where we walked in to a house of kids laughing and running around, babies everywhere, toys scattered and just looked at each other with big smiles and said “this is awesome” 😍 It was such a sweet family feel, and babies are my love language sooo…. It went AMAZING. After that, we headed to the barn in Annandale, MN where the had the ceremony and reception. After the ceremony, they had a hayride for the bridal party that went… well entertaining for sure 🤣 The rest of the night included all the wedding fun—awesome toasts from her big sister, dancing, cake, cupcakes, more cute babies and lots of family reuniting.

I used to think weddings weren’t going to be my thing, but they’re kind of growin’ on me :)

Erica and Carter

I cannot handle how freaking adorable this family is… and baby Willa. Her fuzzy red hair just gets me! This sweet family session was everything. Erica and Carter are moving to Arkansas, sadly, but are planning on doing photos in winter when they come back to visit Minnesota! One of my absolute favorite things, is being able to see little kiddos grow, and capture the changing years for each family. To be a part of that is just a blessing. Family photography is one of my favorites. That is all. :)

Ambrie

The sweetest senior session. Ambrie was the graduating senior and her sisters both came along to help :) We started at a nature like location and ended with a city location— Saint Anthony Main in Minneapolis. Getting both looks is always super fun to do with seniors! But, totally up to their own desires and tastes. Ambrie rocked both.

After this session, I got asked to get dinner with the three of them, and it was just the sweetest thing. We ate at Aster Cafe in Minneapolis and got a nice table outside with lots of cold water to drink ;) I love being able to connect with my clients, so this was an absolute blast!

Ambrie is kind, fun and simply adorable. She is going do amazing this year! Congratulations, Ambrie!
