Michael & Alyssa Engagement

For all my sessions in this area, I like to try and shoot at different areas if possible, simply because I don't want pictures to start to look the same among multiple sessions. So when Michael and Alyssa were ready to do their engagement pictures, I had a place in store that I thought would work perfectly. Now I know we all see railroad track pictures, but there is no denying how cool track pictures can look. :)

Kevin & Hillary Engagement

I always love a pet in the engagement pictures, it kind of gives the pictures not only a fun feel, but it's also a special bond between the couple...of course it's always nice when the pet is well behaved too. And Kevin and Hillary's pup was awesome to work with. This session was just a blast, and I look forward to their wedding coming soon!

Cecelia Senior Pictures

Back to my old stomping grounds of Ramsey, the evening was perfect for senior pictures. Sky was golden and blue, just a hint of clouds, a little warm, but not terrible. Bringing out Cecelia's personality was not hard at all. It was a matter of seconds and she was laughing, and just having a great time. I was looking at some other senior pictures prior to this session and saw a picture with a girl leaning agains a John Deere tractor, it was a beautiful picture, and ever since I saw it, I was hoping for a session one day to shoot with a massive tractor in the back. In the second half of Cecelia's session she said she had another location she'd like to hit, that location was on a farm...with a massive john deere tractor. :)

The session was a blast, and Cecelia's fun personality, and giggly style came out in no time. So I give this session a success.

SO BUSY!

I haven't had the chance to update my blog in weeks! When I first started doing photography as a job, I thought to myself, if I do a number of weddings a year, and handful of seniors, how busy could I really be?

Well, let me tell you...BUSY!! Extremely busy! It's definitely getting stressful, but it still feels amazing to be doing this as a job! I love every minute of it, even during these busy stressful periods. Seniors, Familes, and Weddings are coming in like crazy right now, and I can barely keep up, but I guess if I wasn't on my toes, the job wouldn't be interesting. ;)

I promise to update my blog soon with more pictures. Please be patient with me. lol

Holly's Senior Pictures

Holly decided to use my parent's house as her place for senior pictures. The temperature was pushing it's limit on the degree factor, but it was bearable. :)

The session went great, both Holly's mom and my mom are friends, so they kept the ideas rolling in, however I think a lot of their ideas they wanted to pose themselves like it for pictures of themselves...didn't happen though. lol

Brant & Kirstie Wedding

We have finally made it to the day that I could do my sister's wedding pictures. After 2 or 3 engagement sessions, we finally wrap it up with one of the best looking weddings I have done. The ceremony took place at New Hope church where the use of can lights came into play with the decorations.

Kirstie and Brant were engaged on the beach, and because we live so far from an ocean beach, they did the best they could with a stage. Canopy with beachy lights, and a beach projected on the screens above. While we are so far away from a beach, it definitely felt like we were close to one there!

There was also a chance of thunderstorms that day which had me nervous about getting any outdoor pictures. However, the storms held off through the day, BUT the temperature did not. I think it was about 100 degrees with 100% humidity, it was ridiculously hot outside. But either way, the wedding went great, and lots of great pictures came out of it.
