Minneapolis Couples Photographer | Renewal of Wedding Vows

What a wonderful surprise this husband prepared for his wife...  He secretly arranged a renewal of vows to celebrate their 20th anniversary... I was very honored to be there to capture their special afternoon for them.  It was sweet and simple and very beautiful.  He even arranged for their gorgeous daughter to be there.  Everything went off without a hitch and was perfect...  Congrats you guys!

up up and away (from the snakes)

As we were readying for the 'up up and away' theme of this session, we set the baby in the basket on a mound of dirt that looked like it would get the baby out of the taller grasses so we could see her better.  Uh, yeah, that was a snake house, not so much an innocent dirt hill.   But I tell you the snakes were a hit, big brother was nothing but smiles and giggles once the snakes were discovered.




and the best props of all that she brought were these cute 3 munchkies!!  Love them.

Happy day :)

just perfect

This little boy's family invited me out to take some pictures in honor of little man's first birthday.  They picked the spot and it was gorgeous, hidden in the middle of what seemed like no-where.  I doubt I would ever find it again, but it was just perfect for out night together.  They light was perfect, the kids were awesome, and the bugs weren't even too bad!  Happy birthday sweet-B!

See what I mean? 
Covered bridge in the middle of the woods!

Grad picture requests have officially started for the season... Woot!  The first senior session of the season was SUPER.  Beautiful night, sweet light, fun location, great company and a very handsome and sweetheart of a young man - what a way to start out the season!

Thanks you guys, it was very fun to meet you all, best of luck in your adventures J!

day-dreaming about sun beams... the warm kind.

For those Minnesotans that are currently shivering in whatever they are doing...  I did a little dig into my archives for some warm images from past sessions.  Is it too early for spring fever?  

All of the adorable barefoot babies make me feel lots better!

 

btw...I am very thankful everybody that I have had sessions with in the past.  I appreciate all the 'warm' memories, and I am actually very thankful for the chillier type too. I really love.LOVE.love my job :)
