~S~ Family {Southern Minnesota Family Photographer}

This family was so much fun, and such good sports! Their boys are too cute! I have the best looking clients, seriously! 

When I said wrestle, these boys went nuts! They have it in their blood! 

We had such dreamy light that day!! 

Seriously?! LOVE!

Perfect fall colors!

These boys, those hats! Ah! 

So handsome!

Loved everything about this session!!

Thank you ~S~ Family!! I hope to work with you again soon!!! 

~E~ Family {Southern Minnesota Family Photographer}

 I was so pleased that we decided to take this family's photos at their farm. It is such an amazing location and I could have kept shooting all night! We had so much fun hiking by the creek and through the pastures. Loving these images!!

I have a thing for old barns for sure!

Love long grass in the fields!

~B~ is so handsome! We had fun talking about climbing trees!

Love it!

Their hunting dog would not get in a shot with the family, but I had to get at least one of him, he was so sweet!

They each have their own team, game days probably get pretty rowdy in their house!! 

We had perfect light that day too!

Thank you ~E~ Family! I hope to work with you again soon!!!

~F~ Family {Southern Minnesota Family Photographer}

This family has quickly found a place in my heart. Their little man and my little man are buds and they are too cute when they get together. I had so much fun with this family, even though we weren't blessed with the beautiful sunset as we had hoped, there is always next time!! 

~P~ is so cute, and such a mother hen. She cracks me up!

 I love getting shots with the parents like this, and Spiderman, really? Love it!!

 Too cute!

They were really into the serious look!

He is such a ham and I love him!

 ♥

Love!

Thank you F family!! I hope to work with you again SOON!!! 

~O~ Family {Southern Minnesota Family Photographer}

Being a photographer there is a lot being asked of you. You want people to love your photos and what you have created for them. When we look at our own work, we critique it, see things no one else does. When another photographer asks you to take their photos, you get nervous. They are not only looking at themselves, but your work even more then the average eye. When this lovely family asked me to capture their portraits, I was so excited and scared at the same time. She is one of my good friends and a fabulous photographer herself, and the fact that she asked ME was such an honor. I love how these images turned out! I think she does too ;-) 

My beautiful photographer friend and her family ♥

 How sweet is this?!

The boys

Pro

Such a sweet family...

and fun!

Oh these two!

The girls!

 There is something about a mother and her child...

I love this shot!

Thank you O Family!! I had so much fun, I hope to work with you all again soon!!

~A~ Sleepy Eye 2014 Senior {Southwest Minnesota Senior Photographer}

 

I was so pleased to be asked to take ~A~'s senior portraits. Hearing that he wanted to take them at the skate park had me running wild with ideas. This time I was SO happy I wasn't pregnant anymore! I was able to roll around and move around a lot easier then I could a month ago ;-)

 

It took some time, but I got ~A~ to smile for me! He was such a nice young man and I had so much fun getting to know him and his mother. Even though he drove a Chevy truck (I'm a Ford girl all the way ;-)! 

 

 

 

 

I laid down at the bottom of the ramp and said, "Ok, don't run into me!" and he didn't! :-D

 

 

 

We even stopped traffic...ok we really just waited until there weren't any cars!

 

 

 

I told him I would Photoshop a Ford logo on his truck, I didn't though!!

 

He has such a nice smile!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 So glad we found this bridge at the end of his session. LOVED it!

 

 

 

Congratulations ~A~ I wish you the best of luck in the future!!

 

 

 

There is still time to book your Senior Portraits! The colors are amazing right now! 

An evening on the ranch ~D~ Family {Nebraska Family Photographer}

 

I adore this family. They are very close to my heart. My husband works for them, and even though we have only been here for nine months, they opened up their home for our wedding. That's right, they let a bunch of people they didn't know into their home and let us get married in their front yard. I am still in awe of their generosity.

I thought the least I could do was give them a session to capture special moments to last a lifetime.

~A~ had ideas for locations and we went scouting a little before shooting time. We hadn't lost ALL the leaves by the creek, so it was PERFECT. We found the most beautiful glow and went to work. Now, it took a little bit of time to warm up, and I mean just a little bit of time. We hit up a few spots by the creek then headed to their family sign. I had always envisioned a silhouette shot of this family on their horses, so we had to rush up to the hill before we lost the light. They let me drive their Ranger to get up the driveway and instead of taking it up the hill...I ran. Yes, I had a four-wheel drive vehicle and I SPRINTED up the hill to catch the light. Needless to say...I'm STILL feeling it today! It's all good though, it was well worth it! :-)

 

I really wanted to get shots of ~G~ & ~A~ together. I think it's extremely important to have photos of couples even when they have kids. It all started with two ♥

 

 

 

Just love them!!

 

Such a good looking family, they make my job easy!

 

Got the furry children in their too!

 

The newest addition to the clan, Gracie

 

 

These two did a lot at the fair this year, they work really well together

 

 

Oh Shadda wanted to hunt after this shoot, so badly!

 

This was a shot ~A~ had in mind, it turned out really good, even though the guys were "shooting" into the sun!

 

Oh and this was THE shot I wanted!!

 

Love how this one turned out too!

 

 

 

Like I said before I love this family to pieces and was so happy to capture these moments for them! I hope to continue to "shoot" this family through the years!!
