* C & J Say "I Do"!* Sandhills, NE Wedding {Southern Minnesota Traveling Wedding Photographer}

I absolutely love the Sandhills and think of them often now that we have moved. I was thrilled to have been hired for this wedding LONG before we even knew we were thinking of moving back to Minnesota. This gave me the best excuse ever to come back! 

This wedding was beautiful. Seriously. The forecast kept calling for rain and as I pulled up to the church it looked like it wanted to. The wind was blowing (normal for Nebraska) and the clouds looked angry. But as the morning unfolded, God parted the sky and it was GORGEOUS! He was certainly happy about this union! 

Warning, there are A LOT of images! Probably the most I have ever posted for a wedding. I couldn't help myself!! 

Let me just say, a fish eye lens is on my "must get" list now. It's so much fun!! 

The dress...oh my!

Corsets are my favorite. 

These two were all smiles that day!

Quite possibly my favorite bride shot. Ever. 

Oh the details

So much love!!

Had to replicate their engagement photo (with almost 6000 pins on Pinterest!)

There isn't always a balcony at the churches. This one had one and I HAD to get this shot! Love it!

See?? Beautiful day!!

They got married in the tiny town of Nenzel. As you can see there isn't much traffic there ;-)

Their son is just the cutest!

Happy Family

:-)

The girls were too much fun! 

We had a time trying to get this shot, but it was totally worth it!

Little ~A~ was worn out by the time the ceremony started! This was about 10 minutes in...

I love capturing the little moments during the ceremony!

Oh this church was stunning!

Again, all smiles!

Seriously, LOVE!

Their cake was simple and elegant, loved it!

 So sweet...

Oh this couple is too cute for words, and the love between them is never ending! I wish them a lifetime of happiness in the Sandhills!! Congratulations, C & J!

~M~ Family Newborn Session {Southern Minnesota Family Photographer}

I don't normally shoot newborns. I have a wonderful friend in Windom, MN who is AWESOME (Red Barn Photography). However, I won't pass up an opportunity to work with new little bundles especially when they are a returning client. 

~M~ is so precious! You forget how tiny they are when your own grow so quickly. I had many ideas but we were fighting the weather. A storm was trying to come and there was a breeze. But we made it work and got some really precious shots. I don't shoot the "normal" posed newborn shots. I like to incorporate the whole family and do more of a lifestyle shoot. The family interacting with their new member. 

I love this scarf! 

Oh how I love little baby fuzz

It's the details...

Lovely family!

Proud big sister 

He was getting hungry and was not happy toward the end...

I was so happy to work with this family again! I love watching their children grow! I am looking forward to capturing little ~M~'s first year of life!

Remember returning clients you receive 10% off sessions fees ALWAYS! 

Sometimes just for fun...{Southern Minnesota Portrait Photographer}

The thing I love about photography is learning. There is always something to learn! I am a natural light photographer and seek out beautiful light. However, when I shoot weddings sometimes the light isn't ideal in churches so I decided to purchase a softbox and learn how to use my speedlight (off camera flash). I posted a model call for a fun short shoot and this lovely lady's mother contacted me. I am so glad she did! Though conditions weren't what I wanted we still made it work and I now know how to use my flash!

Thank you ladies! I had so much fun! I hope to work with you again!

 I like this one both in black and white and color

She does fierce well!

July is almost here and I have limited availability! July Minis are on! Contact me to book!
