Family photos at Floyd Lamb!- sneak peek

The Primas family is just absolutely gorgeous! i'm so blessed being able to meet wonderful people like this! Kristie found me through a friend here in Vegas and we've been planning this session for a while and i was so excited! 

One of my favorite things about this family is how they interact. They have the two cutest kiddos, and even when one of them needs a quick hand, They're so loving to each other. And seriously.. they're all so beautiful! it makes me job incredibly easy. 

So here's slightly more than a sneak peek.. i couldn't help myself. we all met at Floyd lamb.. they drove a long way! and had a great morning together. After the shoot, they all stayed around the park for more family time. 

The balloons were quite a story. it was my first time using HUGE balloons, and i was so excited, but we drove 5mph getting there. They cut our hands! who knew!? But it was totally worth it, and i'll do it again. shh don't tell brandon that. he had the best time popping them right after we were done. :) 

Also was a fun picnic! I didn't show much of those.. lots of whipped cream, delicious pie.. and OH the sweet kids chose the fruit over pie! i'm still impressed.

I had so much fun with you! Thank you for letting me photograph your absolutely lovely family! 

O'Bryan Family photos! sneak peek

I think i might mention this a lot, but i am so blessed that my job let's me be around my family! We get to hang out before, after and i get to catch up with my beautiful sister Tara her husband Steve and their three amazing boys. This summer i got to see them more actually just because of me traveling up there, which i'm so thankful for. i might have gotten in lots of kisses :) 

Tara knew i was coming in town and our dad has picked up love for camping, so she decided it would be great to be around dad, and it even would make traveling for me easier.. MAN it was awesome! 

We decided to walk down by this beautiful trail, enjoy nature and stop along the way for some photos. i have to say... it was perfect.. NICE thinking tara! Last summer her idea was to meet at the zoo. she is always coming up with great ideas for the kids to stay involved in the photos. great mama! 

I definitely don't see you enough, but i love that my work can bring us closer, even for a couple hours here and there! Love you all and i can't wait to see you again! 

Surprise for Jeff & Alyssa!

I'm so excited to share a few more images from this couple! If you forgot this session down by the Guthrie theater in Minneapolis and stone arch bridge then click here to see them again! But this time.. i get to share the real reason for their couples session and that's drum roll please...... 

yeahhh!! congratulations you two! It was so difficult not to share this cute idea you had! I'll be praying for your wonderful family! 

Again head here to see the rest! 

Brad & Caitlin- engagement sneak peek!

What a fun couple! i went to high school with both of them and this was one of the first times i got to really see them together! crazy! But it was so beautiful. 

They have a wonderful dynamic and still after these years, Caitlin is all giggles and completely in love. Brad started out a little tougher but a few kisses to his gorgeous woman and he didn't stop smiling either. 

it was a ridiculously hot day, but you can't even tell! me on the other hand.. sweat city. Caitlin's sister Kendra came along too and i'm so glad she did! She even helped me too, so i couldn't have done it without you!

There was a tough time in the family, and my prayers still go out to you all, but they pressed on and focused on their love for one another and i'm really proud. 

i loved to see these two together and as always some of my favorite sessions so i can see how they show love to one another. They're definitely still always laughing, kissing, and completely lovey. I had Brad tell Caitlin a few things, and even without them saying anything they'd burst out laughing. can't wait to show you all the rest! 

 my favorites are absolutely the real laughs between the two of you. 

congratulations you two! and i can't wait til your big day! 

Family photos at the park!

such a fun family! They did great even in the heat!

Peggy is my cousin and we've always been close. When we were younger she was always around, practicing mom and taking my brother and i on awesome adventures! Anyone that i grew up with knows who she is.. i might have always been bragging about her and wanting to hang out. I've always looked up to Peg and now too, seeing what a fantastic mom she is and still takes time for herself and her husband Jeremy. (she recently joined hockey!) These two stay busy with their four kiddos and puppy daisy but always do such fun family things together! 

Fun fact: I was in their wedding, and their daughter Anni was the flower girl in mine. 

After the photoshoot we cooled down with some delicious dairy queen and then Peggy and i got to talk; always much later than we expect! Spending time with family is just one more reason i love to be a photographer! 

Jeremy and Peggy- your family is so amazing. and i just love how many hugs i got before bed time. oh. and what little Abram said.. 

Abram- is shanna going to stay overnight?

Jeremy-no

Abram- well can she come give me another hug goodnight? and how's my breath?

haha thank you for letting me spend time with you guys, and Peggy i can't wait to hang out and catch up again. You had such an impact on me growing up and i love you so much!
