Rain to Sunshine {Southeast MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Kids

Miss N’s session was a dream! I was not surprised as I have photographed her since she as a year old and has always rocked her sessions. However, the day started out with lots of rain and I mean it rained all day long. We almost canceled due to rainy weather.  Her Mom and I were so close to calling it but decided to take a chance.  And in true southeast Minnesota norm, the skies parted and the sunset was glorious!

Brother and Sister {Wykoff MN Sibling Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Kids

What adorable siblings I got to photograph in Wykoff, MN. There is something so sweet and unique about the love between a brother and sister. They tease each other and kid around. They might even have an argument or two just as all siblings will. But, hey adore the other in such a lovely way. That is certainly what I have always seen over the years of photographing this brother and sister duo.

A funny tidbit about this session, we forgot our bench in Wykoff overnight. Neither my assistant, Andrea, nor I remembered until the next day on our way to another shoot. But Wykoff, being the wonderful small town it is, it was still there so, Corinna, the senior we featured here the other day, went and grabbed it for us. Thanks, Corinna! 🙂

Extended Family {Spring Valley Family Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Families

I love seeing the way an extended family grows throughout the years. Extended family portraits are such a fun way to record your memories for generations to come. And it’s that much more special with grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. It is always such an honor to photograph an extended family portrait session.  I know how much they value photography to coordinate multiple families getting together at the same time.   This family does an amazing job coordinating outfits and getting everyone together to document their beautiful family.

This past summer, the W-V Family had their third extended family session with me. I love all the different groups we were able to capture.  Of course, we got a big family group photo. Then we also got individual families, the grandparents with their grandkids and a cousin portrait as well. These are images they will have for a lifetime and passed down to future generations.

Corinna, Class of 2020 {Senior Portraits in SE MN}

Posted in Seniors

I had the great pleasure to create Corinna’s portraits for her last high school year as a senior this fall. Creating the right environment for someone, especially a young person, to feel comfortable in front of the camera is likely the best compliment for me. I feel this is reflected in her senior portraits.

We had such a great time together capturing this time in her life and the very big milestone of her senior year during her 3 sessions. I especially love the photo of her laughing. She’s truly one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet and will also always put a smile on your face with her witty personality. For her first session, we went to Lanesboro, MN. It is very picturesque and is a very popular place for vacationing tourists in the summertime. I myself have photographed there plenty of times. We also did some photos out at our family farm and in the studio in Spring Valley, MN. Enjoy!
