• Rustic Oaks is by far one of my favorite venues to shoot weddings at! When Brook contacted me about her laid back, summer wedding there, I was super pumped! The scenery is beautiful, the staff is extraordinary, and the barn is so unique! Everything about Rustic Oaks is an absolute dream. Brook + Jeremiah’s wedding day fell on a super hot day, but for some reason, the heat never bothered us. We stayed mostly in the shade for some beautiful afternoon portraits and were able to be in the air conditioning in-between 🙂 Their ceremony was very special as they combined their two families together into one! Their four children were a super important part of their wedding and I loved getting to hang out with them! Brook made one stunning bride – I absolutely loved her style and hair color!! Jeremiah’s down-to-earth personality brought tons of humor and laughter to the day as well 🙂 The details at the reception were spot on! Tons of baby’s breath, rustic jars and burlap filled the barn loft and left guests talking about the simply chic decor. I could go on and on about how much of a pleasure it was to work with these two, their families, and their HYSTERICAL bridal party, but I’ll just show you instead! Enjoy 🙂

  • Still getting caught up on the blog!!! Happy to share Miss Keira’s one-year-old mini session with you all today! Keira has SO much personality and individuality – she’s a little firecracker! She certainly knows what she likes and doesn’t like – as most first born little girls do 🙂 I have gotten to know her family by shooting her parents, Ashley + Kyle’s engagement session and wedding this summer! She was all smiles for her session and did so well for a one-year-old! I certainly hope to see the adorable McMahon family in the future again! Enjoy 🙂

  • Oh man, what a summer it was! My summer was filled with many sessions, weddings, we bought a house AND my fiance and I got married!! All of the commotion has me WAY behind on blogging, but I’m bound and determined to catch up! First up is Caleb’s two year old session! I’ve had the privilege of capturing Caleb’s milestone since he was just a little newborn 🙂 He always saves a few smiles for me, but I definitely have to work for them! We captured his two-year-old images at an awesome park in Minneapolis on a sunny, summer morning. I always have fun working with Caleb, Lindsey and Chris – they are an adorable and active family! But for now, let’s get to the adorable images of this blonde haired cutie 🙂

    Two-year-old’s sure can take away some of your energy 🙂
