Megan+Anthony : Lake Maria State Park Engagement Session

Megan and Anthony are two of the sweetest people I have ever met and I am beyond excited for their wedding this coming August. Last weekend we headed out to Lake Maria State Park and basked in the springlike summer sunshine. Dreamy light, golden fields, and a couple in love. For me, there is nothing better. xo a...

kate+matt : stillwater engagement session

I feel as if I have no words for this session…none that do my feelings for it justice, anyway. I love every. single. image.  Kate + Matt are getting married this winter and after Monday’s session I cannot wait for the amazeballs that their Northern, MN wedding is sure to be. For two people who did not want to step in front of my lens I am awed by their ease, candor, and Kate’s insane beauty.  They rocked. it. out.  Always Love,A...

Kristin & Dave: An Uptown Engagement

They met in college.  At a party, to be precise.  Kristin saw him from across the room and was drawn to him instantly. It may have been the drinks, or Dave’s piercing green eyes. But there was just something about him that had her wanting to know more. They got to talking and discovered they lived in the same apartment building. Naturally, Kristin asked Dave to walk her home (safety in numbers, duh!) They went on an official date a week later, and the rest, as they say, is history. Kristin and Dave are hilarious. They can not stop smiling and the chemistry between them is…how do I explain it…perfectly awkward.  Exactly them. Wonderful.  They were such a joy to photograph. We managed to escape the late afternoon Minneapolis crowds and found some privacy, pretty light, and a whole lot of laughter.Here are a few of my favorites from our...

Nicole+Aaron: A Saint Paul Engagement

Nicole and Aaron are two of the most amazing people. Fun. Energetic. Sarcastic. In love. They are, for all those reasons and more, ideal clients.  Of course, home made Sangria and a willingness to jump in a fountain certainly helped to up the ante in their favor. But I digress.  Nicole and I have been in contact, via the wonderful world of technology, for a few months and I was crazy excited about a couple bikes that Nicole found at a garage sale. When she asked if I thought they’d work for the engagement session, I squealed.  Which, obviously, means, “Duh! Yes. Yes. Then more yes.” We rode around their St Paul neighborhood for a while and found some pretty just-before-the-storm light. After a quick outfit change, and another glass of Sangria, we headed to a local park with an amazing fountain, and more filtery soft about-to-tornado-so-take-cover-already light. Nicole +...
