Family at Home & Itasca State Park Session | Nevis, Park Rapids, MN Family Photographer
Before this sweet family packed up to move across the country, they wanted to get in one last session with me to document their life here at the Lake, and in Northern Minnesota. We took photos at their home and then drove over to the Mississippi River Headwaters at Itasca State Park. WOW, how I love capturing special times like this. I’ve done a few other sessions for this family, and each time I just have a blast. They’re so fun! These kids!!! I love them!
As Always, this family did a fabulous job with their clothes, and are a Fabulous Summer What-to-Wear Example to follow for Newborn Children and Family Sessions!
September Barn Wedding | Laporte, Benedict, MN Wedding Photography near Walker, Cass Lake, Bemidji.
See the blush pink, lace, suspenders, and cowboy boots. The lights, the wood, the games, the cocktails, the horse-drawn wagon ride, the pig roast, the programs… it was all spectacular.
Kaitlan and Josh had one of the most picture-perfect September wedding days. Every detail was in just the right place, the flowers were beautiful, the food was amazing, and the venue was great. Scroll through images of this stunning wedding at the Rustic BWB Ranch Party Venues, Laporte, MN.

What to Wear: Summer | Leech Lake Walker, MN Family Photographer | Blue Green Black White Yellow Navy Tourquoise Khaki Jeans
Here is an example of a large family group photo session. This is an extended family group, including Grandparents, Their two children & spouses, and Their children. So, it was a fun shoot, complete with reenacting an old family pontoon photo when the grandkids where just tykes. This family had two of the five cousins going into their senior year, so we combined a couple of Senior Sessions in with the big family pictures. It was a blast! I love their outfit changes. They started with everyone in a white polo, and gradually added different shirts and pants. There were Khaki, Blue Jeans, teal or tourquoise shirts, robin’s egg blue skinny jeans, shorts, pants, yellow, green, stripes, solids, lacey cream tank tops, layers, barefoot, sandals, and all sorts of family combinations going on. It was splendid. 
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.
the T family portraits | Milaca, MN Family Photographer
Tell you what, our Lord gives and gives when it comes to His love for us. I am so thankful for this couple and their family of SIX! Tim and I have been mentored and loved on by these two for so many years. In high school, Tony was our youth leader, and Laurie the BEST youth leader’s wife. We’ve learned so much watching these guys live life. They are wonderful examples of living for Him. Raising a family for Him. And for them, I am grateful!
This was such a treat to spend the afternoon with these guys and get our kids (the boys!) together.
Welcome, too, to their newest addition. He was only 8 days old in these pictures… He’s adorable, and looking at mama, you’d NEVER guess she JUST had a baby! Go Babe!!!

M Family Mini Session | MN Family Photographer Christmas Portraits
Back in November, I had the opportunity to photograph this sharp looking family for their Christmas Card picture in a Christmas Mini Session. What fun! We were playing around with ornaments and Christmas decorations in front of my mom’s log cabin fireplace. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO cold out though, so we rushed around and snapped some keepers in front of a stand of pines. 🙂
