Little Red Riding Hood Gets the Mail| MN Storyteller Lifestyle Photographer

This beautiful winter scene is a snippet from our everyday life. I am always on the mission to be present, and in doing so, using intentionality to #documentordinary. Our daughter is wearing this red wool coat for her third winter. It is possibly the last year, as she is outgrowing it swiftly. Last week, with one of the snows we were blanketed with, she and I set out for the mail together, and I asked if I could photograph her in (my) her favorite red coat. After the dog tromped down the lane to join us, I told her she reminded me of Little Red Riding Hood and the dog was like her wolf.

This first image in particular struck me as a submission for the cover colour contest with This Detailed Life photography magazine, so I am going to share it there! #thisdetailedlife. The pop of Red color is truly perfect against the dusky snow-laden walk.

MN Snowy Winter Engagement Session | Lake Bemidji State Park Couple

MN Snow Engagement Photos with Diamond Ring, Jeans, Boots, Hats and a Red Blanket

I had the privilege of photographing this energetic couple! I’m so grateful to have met them. What a fun pair! They brought a few outfit changes, we played with layers and a blanket, switched out boots, hats, and tromped in the snow a bit. It was a fun way to stretch my photography muscles for the cold afternoon. And, it was great weather, too! Take a look at her gorgeous rose-gold ring in a stunning setting of smaller diamonds. GORGEOUS.

Family Lifestyle Images : Storytelling in Nature

If you know me or my kids, you know that we spend an exuberant amount of time out of doors. In our homeschool life, we get outside every day. We play, explore, work… It’s a vivid part of our routine. And we are so grateful! Sometimes I bring my camera along and capture the mundane and ordinary moments. #documentordinary
