The older sister of the bride stepped up to the microphone under the spacious white tent of The Gardens of Castle Rock during a June wedding. She admitted she didn’t know exactly what to say for her toast during the reception… so she decided she would sing her toast! Moana and Frozen soundtracks were revamped into a […]

Breaking the COViD static with news of a Minnesota Engagement Session! Hallelujah! Northfield, the governor lifted the Stay-At-Home order! Photography can commence! I know everyone will agree that it’s been a hard slog through quarantine. Do not hang out with friends. Do not hug others, do not pass go, and do not collect $200. (Anyone […]

As a photographer, you know your clients are truly invested when they book you for an engagement session in January (in Minnesota!) Usually the morbidly low temperatures around here keep visitors out of our state, but this year we had exactly freezing weather! (And those in Minnesota clap their hands! 32 degrees is balmy!) I am […]

The photograph above is definitely one of my favorite wedding photos – the joy of saying “I do!” (This is basically what my happy dance looks like, except Evan wins in the height department!)

When I first met Ezra and Molly, I could instantly see the first grade teacher inside her, especially the kind voice & the thoughtful way of speaking. […]

What a joy to share this Owatonna Fairgrounds wedding with you today! I’ll begin my story with entering the venue. I pulled into the Owatonna Foundation Building still praying for sunshine. The chill and misty damp just wasn’t what I wanted for a bride on her wedding day! (Seriously, Minnesota – it was just the […]

When I first pulled into Murphy Hanrehan Park Reserve, about fifty bikers were unloading their gear and headed to practice! Ever since our Caribou Coffee meeting, I’ve been astounded by the warmth of Anna & Corey. They gave me hugs! I was not surprised to find this warmth and joy in their engagement session as […]

Driving through the glory of Minnesota country, I knew this Waltham wedding would surprise me either with dark clouds or glorious sunshine. Every storm was just miles to the side of my drive– but the rain did not fall on us all day! If I had to put a slogan to Tya & Devan’s wedding, it […]
