images that embrace your personality
Tonight was perfect sweater weather. Perfect for snuggling littles, perfect for spotting the brightest tree, perfect for family portraits. With two spirited darling girls, we were kept on our toes, lots of leaf throwing, exploring and walking happened…and so did these awesome pictures.
Adam and Becky were married today!
It was seriously a perfect autumn Minnesota day. And what better way to enjoy it than at the wedding of two wonderful people. Becky and Adam love the outdoors, sports and nature, (remember their awesome ice skating engagement session?) so it was only fitting that they chose to marry outside at TPC Twin Cities. Both Adam and Becky got ready in the locker rooms of the golf club with their support group of fabulous friends. I love this moment between Becky and her maid of honor…
…and this one of a flying flower girl.
The couple’s first site was so sweet…
…though Adam wasn’t fond of getting lipstick all over after they kissed.
Could the colors be any more lovely? Simply stunning.
The ladies all looked amazing in their gowns from The Wedding Shoppe, and their flowers were the perfect blend of fall colors.
Becky also had the most prepared and fun personal attendants! 
Though this wedding party was definitely on the goofy side, we quickly learned they also knew how to pull off dramatic poses as well.
But, lets be real, this is more their speed.
Adam and Becky simply love to be together. They are so comfortable with each other, and just so obviously belong.
For the ceremony, the wedding party arrived in golf carts, then walked down the aisle.
We then snuck the new husband and wife off on the course for a few more portraits.
The reception was full of autumn decor. Leaves, birch, flowers in orange and red, pumpkins and candles created a lovely ambiance. A delicious dinner was followed by an equally delicious cake from JKB Cakes, and then Midwest Sound got the party started.
Adam and Becky, we were so honored to be a part of your day! Enjoy your sneak peek!
Today I ventured over to St Paul for a family session. Since the day was pretty blustery, we stayed indoors most of the time, which was great considering Andrew and Jaclyn’s offices are a photographer’s dream! Using the bright furniture throughout their spaces, we got a lot of variety of backdrops for the kids.
Such cute kiddos!!!
At the end, we did venture out to utilize the gorgeous carpet of leaves.
Jacklyn and Andrew, your family is fantastic and it was a joy to hang out with you today!!! Enjoy your sneak peek!
Yesterday was so gorgeous with a bright blue sky and trees starting to really show off their autumn colors. Ashley and her family were so sweet. These two little ones were adorable and we had a wonderful time playing in the leaves and soaking up the sunshine.
I just adore this one, it totally shows the dynamics of the day.
Such a pretty girl!
The one time we really got a smile out of this little guy was when big sister played a game with him. It was so sweet!
Ashley and family, enjoy your sneak peek!!! It was wonderful getting to know you all!
I had a portrait session today with a family that I’ve been watching grow up for years. From engagement right on to little Finn’s first birthday, I have been honored to document their milestones. Today, we had a fun family session in the leaves, starting at a local farm and ending on the side of the road, where we had the best color. I will put a family anywhere if the backdrop is awesome!
I adore this image, it shows the personalities and dynamic of the family.
Finn was interested in running away from the camera, playing with sticks, not looking at the camera, hanging upside down, and doing the exact opposite of what he was told…you know, typical 18 month old stuff. We pulled out every trick in the book, and got some really fun (albeit almost all action) shots. This little man was on the go!
YAY! Time to play in the leaves!
I hope you had as much fun today as I did!!! Enjoy your sneak peek!
