gorgeous boudoir photography- Minnesota

I always say one of my favorite types of shoots are beauty or boudoir, i love seeing women feel good about themselves, and really just shine through in photos. Not that this seriously beautiful woman needs help shining, she did so wonderful! 

I've known her for years and years; in fact you could go back in time and see some pretty awful matching outfits that we insisted on, so i was honored when she chose me to photograph her and we were able to catch up and have tons of fun during the shoot! 

She's absolutely stunning so here's a few of my favorites! 

She did her own makeup and hair and ladies.. if you're interested in a session, she has a business doing just that!- so you have no excuses.. we found someone to make the full experience and get done up! 

She's such a smiley bubbly girl and swore she couldn't do the serious face, BUT DANG! i think she did it perfectly. she's got it down! 

one of my favorite images is this last one. LOVE the lip color she chose. 

Don't forget to leave some love below, and comment here on the site and keep encouraging this gorgeous woman!- and she's definitely available for hair and makeup and because she's done a boudoir shoot, she can help out too! 

You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.- song of songs 4:7

Strauss Family- Memorial Hill, Red Wing

I was so excited to photograph Andy, Kelsey, and baby Ellouise. She's such a perfect blessing and a complete doll! It was such a wonderful time, i was able to see their gorgeous little family at a wedding too, so i got double time to see Ellouise! 

i love how much Andy and Kelsey are absolutely in love and adore her. It's beautiful, and you're such wonderful parents! 

Kelsey.. ADORABLE.

it was a bit windy that day, but it always just adds more adventure and plus..  i don't have to worry about plugging in a blow dryer like i prefer ;) so it was a lovely shoot and i'm so blessed to know such a fabulous family. 

CJ, Rosella, and baby Astoria at the Como Zoo!

i've been so excited to share this absolutely beautiful family! Cousins of mine, and we planned to meet at the Como Zoo in St. Paul and even though it was a rainy day, the conservatory worked perfectly for their photo session. it was my first time being able to meet their little beauty, Astoria! so here's a few of this sweet family! 

how could i not zoom in on these cute booties! 

Astoria is already just adored by her parents! she's just gorgeous! 

she's such a little sweetie, and already has those kissable cheeks! 

we couldn't have picked a better location and time! Astoria did so good and slept almost the entire time and was such a good girl opening her eyes at the end! congratulations again, and i hope we can get together again soon!

Peterson Family- plummer house

Going back to Minnesota is always such a huge blessing! i get to catch up with families and see their kiddos growing up! Laura and Josh decided to meet at the Plummer House in Rochester, and it was perfect! just enough room for Avery and Lily to run around and for us to capture some great moments! 

This photo below i love!- Avery wanted to go play and so they had a little tickle fight to make her giggle. they did so great! 

the three girls and lots of kisses! 

what a truly beautiful family, i always love being able to see them and photograph them! 

Minnesota farm Engagement- Kelsey and Ty

i can't say enough wonderful things about this couple. I absolutely love my time before the big day to spend time photographing the couple together. These two are so sweet to one another, have so much fun, and really are perfect together! 

here's a few from our evening together all around zumbrota, Minnesota area! 

i LOVE their boots. they look so cute! 

we were walking around Kelsey's parent's farm, and came across these old frames, and we used them for lots of silly (and adorable) faces! 

Okay i have to explain this one with the cows. i've never seen this before when photographing on a farm. they all came up to a gate and just stared, so we decided we had to get one since they obviously wanted to be photographed too! 

Kelsey looking ridiculously gorgeous. 

those are just a few of my favorites, there were so many sweet moments i just had to share! I can't wait to see their beautiful wedding day, and to be a part of it! congratulations Ty and Kelsey!
