Coon Rapids | Spring Engagement

March can be somewhat unpredictable in Minnesota.  We could have another few months of snow left to go, or we could see an early melt and the beginnings of spring!  The way we see it, either way works great when we are photographing engagement sessions!  We love using this natural location in any season, but […]

The Pacific Northwest has stollen our heart.  We have completely fallen in love with the scenery, the ocean + mountain views, and the tastes and sounds of it all!  We kicked off our morning with a little coffee art at the Commons Cafe – seriously the cutest bakery and breakfast place ever, and then hit […]

Hansen Tree Farm | Winter Engagement

When your wedding is scheduled for July 7th, why not schedule a snowy engagement session to capture the best of both worlds!?!  Diane and Evan literally had the perfect snowy day for their session.  Even though Minnesota is cold for months on end during our winter season, there really is no guarantee of beautiful snow […]

Even though Ashley and Jarrod grew up just five minutes down the street from each other, and even attended the same preschool, they officially fell in love after meeting online.  It wasn’t until their first date at the Yard House in St. Louis Park that they realized they had been part of each other’s lives […]

Dominican Republic | Adventures

The lush, tropical hills of the Dominican Republic took us by surprise!  We have been to our fair-share of islands and this one was by far unlike any other we had explored!  We decided this would be our “adventure” island and opted to do a little zip-lining instead of the usual beach experience.  If you […]
