• THANK GOODNESS we have sunshine and 60 degree days now that it’s spring! Today, I’m heading all the way back to December for the Vatnsdal family’s mini session 🙂 These troopers dealt with negative temperatures and did it with a smile on their face! We were lucky enough to have plenty of beautiful snow to work with as we walked around downtown Grand Forks for a few updated images. I always find that once kids get older, family sessions don’t occur as often – which is why I especially loved this session! Mini-sessions are the perfect amount of time to grab a wide array of images (especially if you have to deal with the cold!!) Enjoy the stylish Vatnsdal fam 🙂

  • Continuing on with my catch-up blogging series this week is Mr. Chandler!!! This sweet little guy was born to some of the nicest people I know – Jaime and Devin! Chandler was born on the exact day his grandma expected – I remember bumping into her and asking when he’d arrive – she announced “January 13th!) – and boy was she right 🙂 I absolutely LOVE at-home, lifestyle newborn sessions. There’s just something so special about capturing the first few days of baby’s life in their normal environment. It’s just so clear how smitten these two are with their new little guy – the love radiates in these images and I’m so happy for them! love when my couples are eager to do at home sessions like this – I think they are so meaningful and full of “normal, everyday encounters” – which couldn’t be more fitting for a new family of three. Chandler’s room was so adorably decorated and I loved how it is showcased in their images. His entire session was just so perfect and he posed like a little champ! More to come of this family in the future, I hope! Until then, enjoy (now 2 month old) Chandler and Co. 🙂

  • Happy Monday, everyone! Woohoo! I’m on a role – day #2 of blogposts! Today’s fabulous couple is Savana + Matthew! These two troopers traveled over two hours for their engagement session AND braved the chilly, December day we were given! They had nothing but good spirits and we spent a few hours getting to know each other better, talking wedding, and shared a ton of laughter. I loved the locations we chose to capture both a natural setting and an adorable old time building setting. Savana + Matthew totally went with the flow and completely trusted me to capture their love – I was so appreciative of this and I just know their big wedding day will be nothing but love + happiness as they become Mr. and Mrs. Triebold 🙂 I know it’s going to be one small town celebration (My favorite type of wedding!!) Until then, enjoy these gorgeous images!
