Blake & Natalie - Proposal Photoshoot

Natalie & Blake

Blake contacted me only 3 days before his plan to propose to his fiancé Natalie at Rice Park in St. Paul, Minnesota. I was lucky and so blessed (even with the Holidays) to have the date free. When considering Rice Park, I was nervous the blue hour mixed with the orange tree lights would throw me off, but they turned out better than I’d hoped. Again, the sweetest couple. I feel so blessed that all the couples I’ve worked with have honestly been amazing. Blake was so appreciative I had the time to do this so short notice, and Natalie was just as appreciative at Blake for being incredible and lining up photography for this special moment. :)

Keith & Katelin - Engagement Photoshoot

Did I mention how proud I am when I get a photo of everyone looking… including your dog? Anyways. Meet Katelin and Keith. :) They are having an October, 2021 wedding in Duluth, Minnesota, so they reached out for some midwestern/Minnesota looking engagement photos :) We decided on the Lyndale Park Gardens in Minneapolis near Lake Harriet. There’s a nostalgia for me in capturing the lakes/trees/greenery that makes me almost want to exclusively shoot that— but I hate those damn Minnesota Mosquitos you guys. Hate. And I don’t hate a lot of things. 10,000 lakes mean 1 billion (probably more) freaking tiny biters. I can’t. But I can for you. I just keep telling myself that, and all is well ;) In all seriousness, this was a lovely shoot. And I love the areas around Lake Harriet. Well worth any bug bites our lovely summertime in Minnesota brings!!

Lyndsey - Senior Photoshoot

Lyndsey came all the way from Blue Earth, Minnesota for her Senior Photoshoot. We had a blast. For Lyndsey’s senior shoot, we went downtown St. Cloud and to a gorgeous field in Maple Lake, Minnesota. The session took around 2 hours, and we got tons of great light/locations. I even snuck in a few shots with her mom to make it extra special.

Ps. A good tip for the senior photographers out there would be to make sure you’re always showing your seniors (and their families if pertaining) the photos you’re taking. This excites your clients and makes them feel as beautiful as you are seeing on the back of your camera! Or… it gives them the space to share something they might not like, and you can adjust!
