2022 Year In Review

Engagement, Family, Senior, Weddings

January 5, 2023

Oh, January. Holiday decorations are put away, the house is clean, the hustle of the holidays settles back to a more normal pace….it allows for time to take a breath and reflect on the past year, and space to become re-invigorated for the upcoming year. Slowing down and looking back at the previous season always helps me to feel inspired and motivated for what could be for this year! Upon this reflection, I am always in awe at what amazing people I get to meet and work with. I am so very grateful for my 2022 clients.

Paige + Tanner / Ottertail Wedding

Weddings

October 4, 2022

Cold, misty rain and wind threatened Paige and Tanner’s big day in late September…but they decided to take the risk and continue with the plan for an outdoor ceremony at Thumper Pond Resort. Thank goodness they did, as it turned out to be lovely! We even had sneaks of sun during the ceremony, which was just beautiful.

Hailey / Class of 2023

Senior

September 30, 2022

Hailey is a senior! One of my favorite things about this session was that Hailey brought her best friend along, and she was the best hype girl! These two were adorable, funny, and just so much fun to hang out with. Trust me, I will totally be your hype woman during your session, fixing your hair when needed and cheering you on as I get super excited about the gorgeous shots we’re getting… but there is just something about experiencing this exciting milestone with your best friend.

Grace / Class of 2023

What a FUN evening with Grace! I had the honor of photographing her brother Gabe’s senior session last year and the Evink Family is so incredibly sweet; it’s just a joy to be with them. Grace is so chill, she had the most adorable outfits and was up for anything, AND we got to include […]

July 21, 2022

Summer storms threatened to derail Kelly’s senior session, but we went for it and the weather dodged us just perfectly! This handsome guy is quite the athlete, and we fit in THREE different sports for these photos! Starting at the AAHS field, we grabbed some football and track shots, then stopped by the wrestling gym […]

Elena / Class of 2023

This lovely lady and I had a great evening taking her senior photos around Alexandria! Starting at Lake Brophy County Park, then moving to historic downtown, and finishing up at the AAHS track, we had beautiful weather and surprisingly every spot pretty much all to ourselves! Elena is not only beautiful, but also a rock […]
