Family Pictures at Itasca State Park

This family! I had the privilege of taking wedding photos for one of these young couples, and now I got to take pictures of her whole family! I met her mom, dad, brother and wife, younger brother and younger sister (her god-daughter). Mom carefully made each piece to go together, and the violet-plum was the perfect color against the warming greens of our natural backdrop at Preacher’s grove. It is always a blessing for me to be around families, especially couples who’ve been married for twenty-some odd years!!! I enjoy watching their interactions, their jokes, their short nicknames… It is just fun. Here is a little preview of the photos I took with this lovely M Family

Books Books Books! Book Themed Wedding Decorations in Bemidji, MN. | Amy Kate Photography, Bemidji MN Wedding Photographer

Mr. & Mrs. chose some terribly precious decorations for their wedding day, special to them. Books! What a lovely theme to set up with. From the “petals” the flower girls tossed down being heart-shaped cutouts from Harry Potter, the hollowed out book to the cake being a stack of novels… This was a Literature-filled occasion. Being one who makes friends with the librarian before anyone else, I can relate. Here are a few of the detailed photographs of the books throughout the day. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. I hope you don’t start crying as much as I do every time I look at these two, privately sharing their personal vows with each other before the ceremony. GaaaahhH!!!! Thankfully, the bride found some His & Her Vows books, so they wrote them out and they can now be cherished forever. AKP Horner Books Details- AKP Horner Books Details--31 AKP Horner Books Details--30 AKP Horner Books Details--29 AKP Horner Books Details--28 AKP Horner Books Details--27 AKP Horner Books Details--26 AKP Horner Books Details--25 AKP Horner Books Details--24 AKP Horner Books Details--23 AKP Horner Books Details--22 AKP Horner Books Details--21 AKP Horner Books Details--20 AKP Horner Books Details--19 AKP Horner Books Details--18 AKP Horner Books Details--17 AKP Horner Books Details--16 AKP Horner Books Details--15 AKP Horner Books Details--14 AKP Horner Books Details--13 AKP Horner Books Details--12 AKP Horner Books Details--11 AKP Horner Books Details--10 AKP Horner Books Details--9 AKP Horner Books Details--8 AKP Horner Books Details--7 AKP Horner Books Details--6 AKP Horner Books Details--5 AKP Horner Books Details--4 AKP Horner Books Details--3 AKP Horner Books Details--2

Newborn Girl Aviana | Park Rapids, MN Family & Baby Photographer

I am so glad I had the morning to photograph this lovely family near Park Rapids. It was a treat to meet them! Dad’s sister and her family are regular clients of mine whom I love, so it’s always fun to know more of a great family! I love getting into people’s homes and their lives a little bit when I go to take pictures. These kids were shy for the first few minutes, then they had their balance bikes out, they were doing tricks for their upcoming “clown show” for visiting cousins, and just chatting away! It was such a blessing to meet tiny little Aviana. Tell you what, this almost-2-week-old girl was a complete dolly! She dressed well, ate well, slept well, and laid (lay? lie?) there so well for her debut photo shoot. What a champ! AKP Erickson Aviana--14 AKP Erickson Aviana--6 AKP Erickson Aviana--16 AKP Erickson Aviana--22 AKP Erickson Aviana--23 AKP Erickson Aviana--24 AKP Erickson Aviana--25 AKP Erickson Aviana--27 AKP Erickson Aviana--34 AKP Erickson Aviana--35
