Minnesota Photography- Horsman family in the sand!

You might remember this cute family from other shoots. Ayden last summer and even Luke and Nicole's wedding! Nicole had this great idea to shoot on this sand hill. She said it reminded her of Vegas areas i shoot.. and it's brilliant! i can't believe i hadn't shot there before. i may be stealing this location now for more! 

You can't tell, but it was a chilly morning, but they held through especially Ayden when his kick drum came out! (him and dad play) 

i couldn't resist all the adorable hugging, and kisses for his puppy too! 

He looks SO sweet here, he was really kicking up sand, but i like how it looks! 

this gorgeous mama has been working hard running and eating healthier so she wanted just a few of her! she looks so great! 

it looks like we're on a toasty beach, and we'll just let you think that. but i loved their feet and their shoes! 

it's always incredible to catch up with friends from high school, and see their kiddos grow. Thank you for meeting me even though noses were running! you all did so great, and i loved our time together!

Family photos at the park!- Seifert

A Minnesota Fall, we went to a park in Rochester to snap away! Penny (lovely mama) is my cousin so it's always such a blessing to meet up with family, not only to photograph them but all the catching up i get to do, and seeing her sweet kiddos! it had been too long, and Paige and Owen did a GREAT job in the front of the camera. in fact, they were posing for me all on their own! All smiles, i couldn't have asked for more! a couple sweet moments are giggles :) 

They're such good little buddies, and loved hugging! i can't believe how fast they're growing and how much they loved the camera! 

secrets between siblings ;)

i think i say it every time, but i absolutely love my job!- and spending time with family. This is a park Penny picked out, and i love exploring new places for photos! 

The Seifert family is such a beautiful family to watch interact. So much love, fun, hugs and kisses. Penny you're such a good mama :) tim you're great too! 

Hope you're all having a wonderful start to Valentine's week. don't forget to show friends and family how much you love them. cards work wonders... men. :) 

Covered Bridge

family time.

Todd my cousin and his wonderful girlfriend Kelly decided they needed some photos for Christmas, and i'm so glad they did! When i visited Minnesota This past October, i had the chance to hang out with more family. It's one of my favorite reasons for being a photographer. It helps us all get together for a while and plan family time. It just so happened the day we got together was also Todd's birthday! 

It was a pretty cold day shooting at the covered bridge in zumbrota, but they did so good! here's a few from our time together, and yes i had to include a few silly ones! 

i can't believe how big Hailee and Carson are getting! they were so fun! Carson loved to pose for me :) 

i love this photo below. if you know this family, you know teasing and having fun is a big must! so here's just the silliness coming out. 

wow i really love shooting in minnesota. This area is so beautiful full of trees and color in the fall. i'll be going back this summer a LOT so if you're thinking about some family photos, just let me know! we'll plan a time.

Todd and Kelly- thank you so much for letting me photograph you all. you were so fun and cute! the outfits you picked were perfect! i was so happy to be able to spend some time and see your home :) miss you and hopefully see you this summer!

Covered bridge, zumbrota with the warren family!

This family is truly some of the most important and favorite people in my life. From high school, when Jordan and i started to become great friends, Liv and i played sports together and Harriet was one of my teachers, and even got to put a basketball medal around me :) when i was sick, they always showed me love and now more than ever i consider them my family. 

i can't believe how blessed i am to have them all in my life. (i won't cry.. i won't cry..) when i go back to Minnesota, i stay with them. We get to catch up and i get to feel family love (mine are all so far away!) i know they'll always be there. now, enough about my sappy story. 

They let me photograph them on a chilly 30 degree day with freezing cold winds! it didn't stop us, and as you can tell, we still had a little bit of fun! i assure you, we did actually get more cute smiling ones but i had to share a few laughing. 

one of my favorite brother/sister duos. they never have fun together. they don't have any inside jokes, and they definitely don't like one another. i hope you're catching my sarcasm. 

i wanted the last photo to show Jeff and Harriet and after almost 27 years of marriage, they're still absolutely crazy about one another. And here's an insider!- Every year Harriet still tries on her wedding dress on their anniversary. i LOVE that.

i dearly love them and appreciate everything they've done for me. and yes, i'll be staying with them again in May. i've already called the couch (my favorite over the bed) and basically the whole basement as mine! I hope you all have great families that you can always depend on, and if you have a story about it, i'd love to listen! email me!
