In May, we hosted an engagement session giveaway and Jordan and Taylor were one of the winners! The […]

An inch of fresh snow covered the ground and the temperature dipped into low twenties. Cold for Minnesota? No. But cold all the same 🙂 We met Aaron and Mary at the Prairie Wetlands Learning Center, a place full of meaning for the two them. It was here that they would walk the trails and […]

Their little man has grown up here, spending hours rolling himself around the same dance floor that is occupied by newly married couples and […]

This engagement session at the St. Cloud quarries was like going on an adventure! When you live in flat Minnesota even a large hill feels a little mountainous and the quarries were way better than a big hill! As we marched off into Quarry Park and Nature Preserve we chose to head for the boardwalk. […]

Anthony & Heidi There are times when feelings seem like something you can actually reach out and touch. The air hangs heavy with a sense of whatever is happening in the hearts of those around.

This Minnesota fall senior session was so much fun despite the cool temperatures and relentless wind. Though it’s possible Kayt was an icicle by the end. If Kayt was freezing you really couldn’t tell. She laughed and smiled through the entire session! We’re sharing a few of our favorites of her senior photos below!   […]
