Beautiful Outdoor Wedding | Pink Flowers, BWB Ranch, Rustic Barn, Grey Dresses, Bride & Groom MN Wedding Photography

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!

Cute and Precious Gift : A Baby | Cass Lake – Bemidji MN Newborn Photographer | Amy Kate Photography Orange Basket Baby Photo

Newborn Photographer in Bemidji MN Minnesota Newborn PhotographerAKP Newborn Photographer MN MN Newborn Baby Photos Baby Lifestyle PhotosThis lovely newborn baby girl had some of her first photos when she was just around a week old. She was beautifully alert, precious, and didn’t want to leave her sweet mama’s side. She was nursing, and wanting to be held quite a bit, which made her little pumpkin-of-a-self suuuuuper cute. I loved shooting at her sweet little back rolls, those tiny fingers and toes… Ah! She was so special to get to spend some time with!

An atypical edit. The Frigid Forest

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?

Family Photos on the farm with a gorgeous red barn, water and fields | Park Rapids, MN Family and Children Photographer

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!”

Family Fall Photography | Fabulous Finding Fun and Full Foliage For Fotos. (or something like that)

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!
