What to Wear: Summer | Bemidji, MN Family Photographer | Blue Green Pink Yellow Teal Purple Jeans Ruffles Stripes

Here is an example of a family of 6 in summery colors. They mix and match: but none of them are wearing the SAME thing. It is a good combination of pink, purple, blue, yellow, green, jeans… I love the girls’ decals on their jeans. It’s a good touch to give the denim some texture. You can also notice the different stripes on the guys’ shirts. And it looks great! Don’t be afraid to mix it up.AKP What to Wear-010

Baby Girl E | Nevis, MN Northern Minnesota Newborn & Family Photographer

Look at her! You can smell that sweet, soft baby skin and sense all the mama love just from this image. I love capturing moments that are to be remembered. Posing and props are fun, but this. THIS is where the treasure of photography lies. It is a beautiful instant of newborn care, that a parent doesn’t want to forget.

The fact is, they just don’t stay tiny long enough.

But, here she is! The 13 days new baby girl, long awaited by two older sisters and an older brother. He said he doesn’t want to be a big kid yet, so we’ll just refer to him as a little boy who is a great brother to E! Mom and Dad, and Monty the dog are also enamored with this little darling.

 

 

Kaya Wedding, Part One: PINK | Itasca State Park, Mississippi River Photographer, Bemidji MN

Last month, I had the awesome privilege of photographing this gorgeous bride and groom, along with their bridal party. I learned that making EVERYTHING by hand results in several beautifully crafted gowns, ribbons, jewels, and head pieces. AMAZING.

Christina was the most becoming bride in her hot pink dress. Zosim stood out as the groom in his sharp pink shirt, too. The bridesmaids wore a gold color and the groomsmen wore a gold color with khakis.

Again, I am so happy I got to be a part of this special week! Congratulations for EVER, Kayas!!!

Kaya Wedding | Itasca State Park, Park Rapids, Bemidji MN Wedding Photographer

WOWZAS.
 I had the awesome priviledge of phtoographing Zosim & Christina’s wedding photos. It was a cold and dreary day with drizzles and almost-snow.

We took the pictures at Itasca State Park, and it was the perfect location! Christina had a couple outfits to wear, and the hot pink one really stood out against the fall colors. The white dress, with the Bridal Party’s accents of peach were a great subtle mix, too.

Here is the sneakiest sneak peek. Enjoy!
