It’s been a while so I wanted to share something to brighten up the posts đ So…. you get to see…
Senior Photos! I loved getting to see this lovely lady choose great outfits, and get all dolled up with curly hair and great make up for that beautiful smile. We meandered around a few different locations to get some good color, texture, and variety in style. It was such a fun day.

Kristi + Colbey Wedding Sneak Peek | Bemidji Wedding Photography at Library Park and St. Philips Catholic Church
Colbey and Kristi were married on the last August weekend in Bemidji, Minnesota. Outdoor wedding weather is never guaranteed to be perfect, and it really shouldn’t put a damper on too much! Thankfully, this sweet couple was all prepared with several umbrellas, and high spirits. The rain that came was a misty, wet shower. It didn’t pour, but was very wet! Thankfully, Kristi still wanted to meet Colbey in the park for their first time seeing each other on their wedding day. HELLO, SWEET!!!
After Colbey cried at the sight of his beautiful bride and they giggled a little bit when thinking about the fact that this big day is finally here, we did portraits outside. Family and the Bridal Party. It went great, and with all the little kids running around with umbrellas, nobody even had their eye poked out đ
Then, we all went back to the church for their wedding. Hip, Hip, Hooray!
This August wedding was rained out in precipitation, and flooded with joy! đ I’m Cheesy, I know!
Z + A Carlson Wedding, Ruttger’s Birchmont Lodge, Bemidji Town & Country Club | MN Wedding Photographer
Z + A had an absolutely beautiful day for their wedding. With a quick passing thunderstorm, the showers brought a beautiful rainbow out to encourage them to wait out the sprinkles and say their I Do’s just they way they had planned them! They were married under the pergola at Ruttger’s as the sun glistened around them. Then we all rode across Lake Bemidji on the pontoon, for a fabulous bridal party excursion before the reception. They arrived in the sunset glow to their reception at Bemidji Town & Country Club. It was decorated splendidly and everything tied together so lovingly with their themes of love and togetherness. Â DQÂ Dilly bars topped the dinner off and the dance (led by Jamie with Extreme DJ and Karaoke Bemidji) rocked away all night!
Here is a sneak peek at this super fun day for the Carlsons!
#OhHappyDayZandA was the tag for the new Mr. & Mrs. <3
CONGRATULATIONS, to this dear couple!
I am so grateful I was able to be there for such a sweet wedding day.

Fall Family Photos | Rum River, Riverview Park, Milaca MN | Minnesota Fall Mini Session Photographer
I love having the privilege of meeting with families year after year, watching them grow. It is such a blessing to see a mom and dad love their sweet kiddos so much, and this family is an excellent example of Love!
They do a great job laughing together, naturally. They smile and giggle, and the kids, like ALL other kids, have their little fits too. Plus, they always do a fabulous job with great outfit coordination for their annual fall mini session of family portraits! You can spot denim, leggings, cute boots, the mustard yellow sweater, the nice green vest and floral tunic on sweet little… they’re just simply adorable!

Congratulations to the ravishing Trevor & Liz! These two charmers held a lovely ceremony at St Philips Catholic Church in Bemidji, and then received their guests at the Sanford Event Center in a gorgeous Ballroom, as well as entertaining their guests in the lobby and out on the patio (which overlooks Lake Bemidji)! These two love doves are a perfect match, and I was glad to get to photograph their wedding day with them.
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!
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 đ 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!
