Alex + Kyrie / Alexandria MN Wedding

Weddings

September 30, 2023

Kyrie and Alex’s wedding day forecast called for rain and storms all day…not ideal. But, as I have witnessed countless times, the rain held off until exactly the time we were done with all photos and everyone was tucked away inside for the ceremony. I met these two last fall for their engagement session and […]

Andrew + Liz / Alexandria MN Engagement

Engagement

September 22, 2023

Liz and Andrew are getting married! Early fall sessions are the best; a mix of still-warm temps and early fall colors; letting go of summer and looking forward to fall… We had the best of both for this engagement session.

What a gorgeous styled shoot! We had Kynze and Alex as perfect models, questionable weather that worked out perfectly in our favor, and the stunning backdrop of northern Minnesota. For those who are new to the term, styled sessions are collaborative events that provide an opportunity for wedding photographers and other vendors to create and […]

Engagement

June 26, 2023

I was beyond honored when Abbey asked me to be her wedding photographer! To say this girl is awesome is such an understatement. Her humor, wit, kindness, and humanity is just the best, and everyone who meets her loves her. So when she and Sean got engaged, I knew he must be equally as cool.

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

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.
