Lake Elmo Engagement Session

Carrie and Joe’s engagement session was a DREAM! The location, the light, the couple – all three were exceptionally gorgeous on this day. Not only were Carrie and Joe super laid back and down for anything as far as photos go, but they were just a blast to hang out with in general. The Lake […]

Lebanon Hills provided the perfect spot for Rachel and Scott’s engagement pictures. As the sun set, the place absolutely glowed. This, in combination with Rachel and Scott’s smiles and laughter, made the photos look like a dream.  As we chatted and strolled through Lebanon Hills, we came across the Monarch Waystation.

We just got back from a long week in California – exploring the coast, hiking Yosemite, and lounging in Napa Valley! We had so much fun. We explored, we hiked, we ate a ton of food. Who knew the food in Napa Valley may even be better than the wine?! We definitely ate more oysters […]

MN Landscape Arboretum Engagement Session
Foggy Riverside Engagement Session

Sometimes a shoot doesn’t go like you planned. You wake up before the sun comes up only to realize the sun isn’t coming out. But, maybe… something just as good. Fog. It turned out to be a very foggy morning down by the St. Croix River. And it turned out so cool. Kelcee wasn’t mad […]
