Tim and Erin, a sassy and classy couple

Erin and Tim are set to be hitched in early May, and we had such a blast perusing Minneapolis on a beautiful Saturday morning. They were so willing to try some new poses with me and explore the old historic Pillsbury building. I am looking forward to more fun shots to come in spring!

Shooting Location: Father Hennipen Park

October fun

So in between all the photography, ministry and prep for the new baby (due to arrive Thanksgiving day), there has (thankfully) been room to breath! Here are some recent family photos on a hayride we were able to take this weekend!

DiFranchesca Family

So for the past 4 years I have been photographing Jake and Lisa. Only 2 years ago did they add little Jakey and ever since then Lisa has been hiring me to come and do a Holiday card for their family. This year we went to the Lake Harriet bandshell area, and got some really fun shots with Lisa's family as well as her immediate family.

New look for the blog

Ok, so I am getting so sick of just staring at the computer, SO, please let me know what you think of the new blog look and if there is anything more you'd like to see! Many more photos to come in the next few days! My techie brain only goes this far...

The Wurst Family

So my weekend of shoots began with this beautiful family! A referral from a friend, I met the Wurst's at Minehaha Falls, and it was so beautiful. We hiked around the amazing setting and were able to get some great photos with the leaves at their peak! Gotta love Minnesota at this time of the year!

Shooting location: Minehaha Falls; Minneapolis, MN

Andy and Maria

I could not believe it when I got the call! Andy was engaged! In my mind, he will always be this little 8 year old running up and down the church pews after a service. We grew up going to the same church, and actually his dad was my pastor for a long time. Time has definitely matured him into am amazing man! He and Maria are high school sweet hearts that have lasted through 4 years of college at separate schools long distance from one another! We shot their photos at Northwestern college, a beautiful campus this time of year and so many great locations all within one area! We laughed a lot and got a beautiful night to shoot! I am looking forward to their August wedding, may there be much more laughing and love!

Shooting location: Northwestern College; St. Paul, MN

The Berge Family; making four look easy!

What a blast I had photographing the Berge family! Four kiddos under 8, and they were all well behaved and SO extremely fun to work with. Jen and John made it look easy to parent them, they are definitely doing a wonderful job! We hit up the Mill City/ Stone Arch Bridge area. The kids had a great time exploring and jumping for some of the photos together (it was the only way I could keep little Rachel close to the others!)
