    ENGAGED: Kelsey + Trent // Fargo Wedding Photographer

    Happy Thursday!! All week I’ve been one day off, so naturally, I woke up today thinking it was Friday – WRONG! Oh well 🙂 BUT, I am super excited to share another gorgeous fall engagement session with you all today! Kesley, Trent and I planned a mid-October session in hopes of finding some fabulous fall leaves, and boy did we get lucky! We ventured around downtown Fargo and had so much fun talking about their upcoming summer wedding! Kelsey’s style coupled with Trent’s go-with-the-flow attitude was the perfect combination for a successful shoot. …and can we talk about Kelsey’s knock out ring?! My goodness – I was in heaven capturing it!! Only a few months to go until Kelsey + Trent say ‘I Do’ in front of their closest friends and family – can’t wait!! 🙂 2018-01-08_0051.jpg

    FALL MINI SESSIONS // Grand Forks Family Photographer

    Happy SNOW DAY everyone!! I’m lucky enough to be working from the comfort of my own home today since UND was cancelled – I wasn’t complaining 🙂 I’m back to my blogging spree and have SIX, yes six adorable fall family mini sessions to share with you all tonight! These families received updated images in just MINUTES! Mini’s are my favorite – 20 minutes, in and out, with fuss or hassle (and most husband’s don’t complain TOO much about JUST 20 minutes 🙂 ) I always shoot my mini’s in place with great leaves, shade, and space for the kiddos to run! I was so happy with how all of these sessions turned out – I hope you enjoy!

    Up first, my sister and brother in laws family – the Morrow’s! Aren’t my nieces the CUTEST, ever? 🙂2018-01-08_0005.jpg

    ..and last but not least, Nina, Jared, Cale and Ronin! This gorgeous family has one of the last ‘nice’ fall days of the year! The trees were beautiful and their two boys were little champs! It was great to capture these four again this year

  • KNOT-TIED: The Best of 2017 // Fargo Wedding Photographer

    KNOT-TIED: The Best of 2017 // Fargo Wedding Photographer

    It’s finally here – my FAVORITE blogpost of the entire year! All of my weddings in ONE spot! I spent over 3 hours this afternoon hand selecting my favorite images from each of my weddings this past year. It’s a long process, but it’s something I truly enjoy doing! I changed things up a bit this year for this post – I organized the images by the “order” of the day – detail shots, getting ready for the day, bride + groom portraits, bridal party portraits, the ceremony, and finally, the receptions! I had such a great year with my amazing couples documenting the beauty, tears, and laughter of each of their special days. My wedding spanned from April through October and I traveled as far as Billings, Montana for a gorgeous wedding overlooking the city on the Rimrocks. Each of my couples made me feel so welcome hanging around them and their friends and family – I’m truly lucky always feel this sense of belonging. I’m so lucky to be able to do what I do and am already looking forward to the 2018 wedding year!! Until then, enjoy these gorgeous images of Ariel + Jeremy, Mara + Anthony, Brittney + Jed, Kaitlin + Jeff, Brooke + Steve, Aubrie + Tyler, Savana + Matthew, Kayla + Brant, Alissa + Casey, Tiffany + Tim and last but not least, Alli + Cameron!
