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. AKP Lanie Senior-002 AKP Lanie Senior-013 AKP Lanie Senior-041 AKP Lanie Senior-086 AKP Lanie Senior-095

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

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!!!

Merry Christmas!

Hi,

I know this looks like it is a late post, but I wanted to share how thankful I am for Christmas time. No matter that the 25th has come and gone.  I love the anticipation of receiving updates from cherished folks all around the world. We LOVE getting your letters and cards, so keep them coming!!! I love taking family photos in a crazy-busy Oct-December months when you’re jam-packing everything in 😉 I LOVE IT.

I love getting to be with family.
I love seeing old & new friends.
I love eating too much everyday for days on end.
I love engorging myself with memories of “the good ol’ days” when I was a kid.
I love the time of Advent.
I LOVE CELEBRATING CHRIST’s BIRTHDAY. What a joy!

Matthew Chapter 2 posted by Amy Kate Photography

I Thank God for this savior who came down to Earth to bless us with everlasting life, and freedom from sin! If you don’t know Jesus as your LORD and SAVIOR, and want to know how you can find peace, joy, and mercy in your life, email me or call me! Talk to someone who believes! Grab a Bible and read it!  A good place to start is Luke chapter 2: a telling of the Christmas Story!!!

the Bible is the 
‘cradle of Christ.’

Something I read, when I wondered, why start in the New Testament:  “Martin Luther said that the Bible is the ‘cradle of Christ.’ All biblical history and prophecy ultimately point to Jesus. The book of Mark is quick and fast-paced, while John focuses on the things Jesus claimed about himself. Mark tells about what Jesus did, while John tells about what Jesus said. In John are some of the simplest and clearest passages, such as John 3:16, but also some of the deepest and most profound passages.”  –taken from the intervarsity site

Merry Christmas, now and forever.

Love, Amy  at Amy Kate Photography, in Bemidji (more like Brrrrrrrmidji) Minnesota.
