• Steph + Lucas, what to say about these two! They’re COMPLETELY photogenic, incredibly funny, and some of the nicest people I’ve worked with this year. This combination of qualities plus an amazing night in the county made their engagement session an absolute blast!! We started at Steph’s family farm, ventured into the woods, walked through a wheat field, and ended at the lake Steph grew up by! We had so many great photo locations, which is always a plus for me! I’m so thrilled and honored to be capturing their Oxbow Country Club wedding next May. Steph is as sweet and caring as she looks and Lucas is absolutely smitten with her. I loved watching these two interact and have so much fun together during our session together! They’ll be moving away for Lucas to do his residency next summer — they have no clue where they’ll end up, but they’re so excited for the adventure that awaits! Anywaysssss, get ready for some beautiful images of the future Mr. and Mrs. Teske! Enjoy 🙂

  • Prepare yourself for some SERIOUS cuteness on the blog tonight!! Miss Lainey is 6 months old and FULL of energy, enthusiasm and adorableness! She was absolutely perfect during her session. We accomplished 4 outfit changes, smiles, and various locations in the park in under an hour. I couldn’t believe how happy she was the entire time – I’m sure a ton of it had to do with her adoring parents, Jen + Derek smiling at her over my shoulder 🙂 I think I’ve decided that 6 month olds are my favorite baby age to photograph – they’re big enough to sit up and be attentive, old enough to laugh, smile and coo at you, and not quite mobile enough to crawl around too much!! 🙂 You’re all going to love Lainey’s images, and to make it even better, you’ll see more of her at her 9 and 12 month sessions coming up this Fall and Winter! Enjoy 🙂

  • I’m so excited to finally be sharing some images from one of my favorite weddings so far this summer!! Amy Jo + Chris’ absolutely breathtaking wedding in Shafer, MN was such a wonderful occasion to celebrate two people so deserving of each other. These two are completely in love, it’s so evident by the way Chris looked at his bride all day laughing, smiling and enjoying the best day of their lives. Terra Nue Farm is one of the most gorgeous venus I’ve had the privilege of shooting at this year. Every single detail is so cool and the employees at the venue work so hard to make the day a dream come true! Amy Jo + Chris’ families were some of the nicest and most fun people I’ve worked with all summer! They were just as excited as the happy couple was to be celebrating and supporting this marriage. The entire day was full of so much love and beautiful weather. The flowers, details, and wedding attire made the day even more beautiful than you could have imagined. I’m so glad I was a part of this  beautiful wedding day and I wish the absolute best to Amy Jo + Chris as they begin their new life together! Trust me when I say they are some of the most genuine people I’ve ever worked with – anyone who knows them, would say the same 🙂 Enjoy these beautiful images of their perfect wedding day and help me congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Beebe!
