Being a parent is such a delight. I am filled with countless blessings through out each day and I can not imagine another day without them in our life. Cherishing the little moments– and the big ones– is a joyful experience!
These two!!! Adorable, precious, tender, and loving. It was so so so fun to watch these twin sisters work together throughout the whole wedding day! They were darling! 
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
What a sweet treat to get to meet and hold my cousin’s little man at just a couple of weeks old. HELLLLOOOO Cute boy! He is so absolutely adorable. What a precious newborn baby boy! I love being a photographer, but getting to take pictures of beautiful children like this little man… Yes, Please!!!!! 
Congratulations to the blessed Jake & Allena on their wedding! What a sweet, kind and caring couple. These two have some absolutely adorable kids, and I wish the best for them, and pray that their marriage is rich in love and always gaining understanding for their whole life. This sweet little Simon family was married on a cool and blustery October day in Mahnomen, MN. It was special that they all got ready–a big bridal party and all– at their home out in the curving and hilly countryside, before heading into the quaint church in Mahnomen. When they had their wedding ceremony, sweet little sister was carried to the front of the church by her two cousins, and then big brother actually walked his momma up the aisle. He was crying the whole time because he wanted daddy… But what a sweet picture of family it was. The new couple held their children during the ceremony, and the four of them shared a time of unifying themselves with the sand as a symbol of the four of them blending together permanently.
Hello from one of the world’s cutest baby girls.
That’s all.
The colors of Autumn are in full swing here in Northern MN. So, we had this family over to Grace Lake, near Cass Lake, MN to take some family photos near the lake. We got some pops of red, orange, yellow, green, and brown. They meandered from the hill with pines down to the narrow sandy beach on Grace Lake. It was the perfect setting for an afternoon photo session.
Here’s one quick one from this good day!
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!
