I am honored to share some photographs from the Lind’s beautiful June wedding. The bride chose some special touches to make the day absolutely stunning. Her dress was found at an Allen Evans Bridal shop in Moorhead, the flowers were from her friend Poppy Lane in Minneapolis, and the rings are from Riddles Jewelry. They hosted their outdoor ceremony and barn reception at the lovely rustic BWB Ranch Party Venues. It was a tremendous day. I am grateful I was able to be their photographer! Congratulations to #thelindsinlove!
Hi friends!
I usually don’t use a lot of non-natural edits to the photos I work with, but for fun, I did. Just this once 😉
Its a cooler feel to this gorgeous woodsy image. a little more artsy fartsy. Just for the heck of it.
What do you think?
below is the before/typical image edit
Look at her gorgeous handmade gown, head piece and great colors!
Photographing this family for the fourth time! They are the sweetest! I am so blessed that they hired me a few years ago to do their family photos. It was mom, dad, and three kids. At the very end of that first session, they told me they were expecting baby # 4! WAHOO! How exciting! Well, Then I came back and did family portraits, newborn portraits, and was able to capture them in their lake home before they moved out of state, and we have spent time photographing them at Itasca State Park at the Mississippi River Headwaters. Now, they came all they way back to Minnesota this summer just to let me get their photos 🙂 Well, okay, they wanted to visit family, too… But, I’ll pretend it was just to see me and let me see how precious newborn Ember has grown into a full-blown, walking and prancing little toddler girl!
I love getting to know families and their stories through what the parents and the kids say during our session and this family is the rule! They’re a beautiful family, and I hope I get to keep capturing their growth and changes whenever they’re “back home!”
And then, the mother’s sister and her kids were there, so I snapped some cute ones of them, as well!
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! 
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!
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.
