Plymouth Family Session:: Burton Family

The lighting was perfect as I photographed the Burton family  It helped that their kiddos were so amazing and so stinkin cute.  I love seeing families throughout the years and photographing during beautiful days makes it even better!

    Shakopee Family:: Welter Family

    We got one of the very best last days of summer.  The heat and sun kept us going as the Welter family and I wandered about a beautiful park in Shakopee.  No one really seemed to mind the heat and in the process of exploring, we captured some incredible places and shots along the way!

      How to use wind in your favor

      Not all wedding days, or family session days are a perfect 75 degrees, partly cloudy and beautiful.  Here in the Midwest, dealing with all the elements comes with its challenges and frustrations, but also comes with ways to create the perfect memories and look for your clients.  Here are a few ways to use the wind in your favor to help create a beautiful photos!1) Use the veil.  There are so many times while a bride just wants to take out her veil when the wind is gusting, but my advice to you would be to keep it in (at least for a while!) Use this to your advantage, to wrap up in, let it fly and open it up to create leading lines to a face while helping clients remember what the elements of the day felt like!2) Walk or face into the wind.  Hair will fly backwards and veil will fly upwards or sideways.  Use this to capture movement and memories.
      3) If you are photographing clients, specifically girls, I LOVE having shots of  hair flying all over the place.  Oftentimes this brings a carefree look and feel to the photo that I think perfectly captures the age. Hope that helps a bit as you prepare to use the elements that the day brings you and helps you see why even a windy day can bring out some of the most beautiful photos.

        Edina Family Session:: Williams Family

        I love seeing the Williams family year to year and this year they met me at a park in Edina for their family session.  We played, laughed, photo bombed and even got some photos in while we were at it!  I am so very thankful to see them every year and look forward to watching them grow over the years!

          Edina Family Session:: The Schroeder Family

          Do you have those friends that you just love seeing?  I wish Lauren and I got to see more of each other though out the year, but when we do it is always a fun time.  And this time around it was no different.  Her sweet family met me with giant hugs and waves and joy as we started their session together.  I have been photographing this couple since they were engaged and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!  They are a sweet gift and I am so thankful for them!
