I am going to start something new. Every Tuesday, I will do a post with some helpful hints and tips. It could be about taking photos, how to prepare for sessions, frequently asked questions, etc. Let’s kick it off this week with a photo taking tip! Most of us know the “rules” of photography. Don’t […]
I met Matt and Katie last year and was so excited they chose my team and I to photograph their wedding. It was truly an amazing day! Katie knew exactly what she wanted and that made my job so easy! These two are perfect for one another, and Katie is so supportive of her man […]
When I attended the Mankato Bridal Show in January, I gave away an engagement session and boudoir session. B was the lucky winner of the engagement session! They are having a destination wedding in the fall, but wanted to capture some pure Minnesota images. We met up at Minneopa State Park. I had never been […]
We hear a lot of photographers, including myself, talk about how important it is to capture your family with professional portraits. To take the time to have them done, and how you won’t regret it. We don’t say this to push our business. We don’t say this as a marketing strategy. We say this because […]
It is no lie that I LOVE light. I mean, I live and breath by the lighting of a session or wedding. If there is overcast, that’s totally fine, gives us more options on locations. But give me some flare, and I am in heaven. That’s why timing is so important for natural light […]
Portraits should be fun. Any kind of portrait session should show you for who you are. Who you are right this moment. If you are a goofy family, then you should be goofing off. Case in point. My sister’s family. My brother-in-law is the least serious person I know. He makes jokes about […]
Twins: two unique souls united by birth. ~Unknown Author These two certainly are special. I was honored to capture their senior year. Both are amazing athletes and beautiful inside and out. Their future is certainly bright! We met up at the shop first and got some studio shots. Classic. So many sports! This […]
I just had Carlie’s reveal session last night and was thrilled with how much her and her mom loved her photos. That is one of my favorite parts of a session, hearing the reaction 🙂 Again, with Carlie, we got to hang out a bunch. She opted for summer, fall and winter photos. It was […]
Want to know what I love the most about my model program? Getting to know my seniors. We do a mini session in the spring, then most of them book my seasons package, so I get to hang out with them multiple times throughout the year. Madison was a blast! I had taken her brother’s […]
I am so excited to finally blog this wedding. M contacted me about their wedding a year ago. She was concerned about the height difference between her and T, I told her it would be a fun challenge and not to worry. You can see in their engagement photos here, that we used a lot […]
