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. :)

Maggie & Tyler

Another sweet Minnesota couple on their way to becoming completely official in all the ways…. marriage :)

We had their engagement session at Millennium Gardens in Plymouth, Minnesota. They completely got the outfits spot on, because (tip) whites/creams/blacks/neutrals are the best. Me and my editing style are both biased.

More importantly than their outfits, we laughed and had a ton of fun. My favorite thing is when couples open up and feel like they’re on a fun date with each other. If you can be comfortable and get in your ‘play’ mode with your person, the photos will absolutely reflect the amazing time you’re having. I try to encourage this by giving fun prompts to my couples and bringing a positive/open mindset to the table!

Anyhow… now we get to look forward to their amazing wedding day hosted at the Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis, MN. AHHH. I’m so excited.

Jay & Quynh - Proposal Photoshoot

This. Proposal. Jay contacted me about a month ago and told me he planned to propose to his girlfriend, Quynh, who lives here in Minnesota. Jay lives in Georgia, so their relationship has been long distance for the past two years. This man flew to MN last night only a couple of hours before proposing to Quynh.

Thankfully, we had a plan locked in where he was successfully able to sneak up behind her and tap her on the shoulder to get her attention. Below are the results. One of the sweetest proposals I have done. The couple had most of their family there to see, and got to celebrate their engagement, and the sister’s birthday at Freehouse in Minneapolis!
