• Excited to finally share you with my second destination wedding this year! Toby, Brandon, and 40 of their closest family and friends made the trek down to the gorgeous island of St. Pete Beach in Florida. We had the most fantastic weather, light blue water, and sandy white beaches you could have asked for. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful and so simply elegant in many ways. I’ve known Toby for quite some time now, and it was so much fun to have the opportunity to capture her wedding with her adoring groom by her side, Brandon. Brandon is one of those guys who get along with everybody – his demeanor and lighthearted nature really stood out to me. He definitely compliments Toby’s great sense of humor and caring nature. I’m so happy for these two as they embark on this new adventure together 🙂 I’ll quit the gabbing so that we can get to the gorgeousness that is their wedding 🙂 Also, stay tuned for more — their Fargo reception and fun portraits before will be on the blog later this week! Enjoy! 2015-04-08_0001.jpg 2015-04-08_0002.jpg 2015-04-08_0003.jpg 2015-04-08_0004.jpg 2015-04-08_0005.jpg 2015-04-08_0006.jpg 2015-04-08_0007.jpg

    I’ve convinced you all to have a destination wedding now, right? Happy Wednesday 🙂

  • WooHoo! The first of MANY 2015 weddings is in the books! Ashley + Jeremiah’s wedding was the perfect occasion to ease back into a new, different, and exciting wedding season! I had such a fantastic time getting to know these two and the many reasons that they are clearly so perfect together. I can’t put my finger on a thing that didn’t go exactly as planned for their special day and that’s because of the wonderful help and planning with everyone involved 🙂 Ashley + Jeremiah are such selfless and inspiring people. I found myself becoming more and more thankful that I had the opportunity to work with them – they truly are such kind people who care so much about those around them. We utilized the ever amazing, Plains Art Museum for portraits and it certainly did not disappoint! Every little detail about this wedding was perfectly planned and arrange – the colors were beautiful and really added a pop of color to their winter wedding. Ashley’s natural beauty added to each and every image – her smile and laugh radiated throughout the day and added joy to the room to compliment Jeremiah’s jokes and adoring looks he gave his beautiful bride all day 🙂 I loved this wedding and I know you all will too! Enjoy 🙂

  • I’ve got a double-header for you all today! Since we did Lainey’s 9 month session in the fall for Christmas cards, I wanted to wait to post any until after Christmas. Well, clearly, life got a little away from me, so I decided since we were doing her one-year-old session in February, that I would compile all of the ADORABLE pictures of Miss Lainey in one HUGE blog post! And here we are 🙂 It has been so fun to see Lainey grow up these last 6 months and watch her learn so many different things along the way. I love doing  milestones package sessions to show the growth and change every 3 months of a baby. I’m definitely going to miss seeing Lainey so often 🙂 Enjoy!!
