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.

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.

Heather + Andrew / Alexandria Wedding

Heather and Andrew’s wedding was everything! It was gorgeous, relaxed, sweet, filled with love and beautiful emotion, with family at the center. The (now official!) Broussard family traveled from Nebraska to get married at Bold North Cellars, which was originally part of family farmland, so besides being a stunning venue, it was an especially meaningful place to them.

We had to dodge a few showers for this early spring wedding, but Crooked Willow is such a creative and beautiful venue, so we had plenty of options both inside and outside during breaks in the rain! Alison and Cory were very chill and happy to go with the flow; it was clear they were […]
