White Winter Wedding Gown | Itasca State Park Wedding Photos | Russian Orthodox Wedding Photographer
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?
below is the before/typical image edit

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!”
And then, the mother’s sister and her kids were there, so I snapped some cute ones of them, as well!
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!

Linnea < SENIOR CLASS OF 2016 > | Sr year graduation photos
Since I loved these so much, and I am dying to share them with Linnea, here is a sneak peek at our lovely session for this new Senior. We took the photos at her favorite place: camp! Sjölunden (Swedish: sjö: lake, lund: grove) is the Swedish camp site associated with Concordia Language Villages and is located at the Concordia site at Turtle River Lake, near Bemidji, Minnesota. {puhlease consider sending your kids to camp, and even more: consider a Concordia Language Village!}
Newborn Girl Aviana | Park Rapids, MN Family & Baby Photographer
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!
