There was no better way to start off our 2023 wedding season than with Cori & Max’s beautiful wedding day! The colors they chose […]

When you’re a photographer, sometimes you get in on the best secrets. We got to capture Michelle and Jared last year with their adorable puppy Kenna and we just really enjoyed them so much as a couple! When Michelle booked this session with me at Hansen Tree Farm, I was so excited *and* I was […]

Hansen Tree Farm Proposal
Lake Elmo Park Reserve Engagement

Winter engagement sessions are the best… Especially when it’s a balmy thirty degrees! For some reason, even when it’s pretty cold out by normal photoshoot standards, when it’s snowy and fairly warm for winter it just feels so nice.  We love when our couples bring us to an awesome spot that’s totally their own!! Max’s […]

What a way to kick off winter engagement sessions! This day started off with a clear sky, but by the time our session started, it was snowing SO much! We love this type of weather for photos though – not too cold with a ton of snow falling! It made for such pretty photos! Cortnee […]

We love summer. And we love engagement sessions. Sooooo basically this was a perfect night for us! Interstate Park has the best areas for photos.
