• FALL MINI SESSIONS // Fargo Family Photographer

    Round 2 of Fall Mini-Sessions – coming your way!! I love this new format I’ve adopted for this quick and easy sessions! I’m excited to share a few images from 5 of my fall mini sessions with you all today!! The Glenn , Cook, Jacobson, Curtis and Meyer families all got in on my special pricing mini-sessions and boy did we have a ball! I absolutely LOVE mini-sessions – they are 20 minutes long with no hassle and fuss – just enough time to capture exactly what you need and nothing extra – no extra tears from kids, no extra complaining from husbands (sorry, men!!), and no extra money spent! I’ll be running winter mini’s at some point when we have a warm weekend – be on the lookout 🙂

    First up – The Glenn Family!

  • ENGAGED: Julia + Derek // Grand Forks Wedding Photographer

    Happy Monday, everyone! We’re just a week away from Christmas and I have sooooo much blogging to catch up on, but I’m so thankful this time of year for all of my amazing clients and people who trust me to capture their big events. Next up today is Julia + Derek! These two are just completely smitten with each other – their love radiates and is so apparent when they’re with each other. I loved working with them this fall to capture some  beautiful, rustic engagement images! They’re getting married in Denver in February and I’m so happy for them! Their session was completely natural – they hardly needed any direction because they are so comfortable and in tune with each other – it made my job a complete cake walk 🙂 Congratulations to the ALMOST Mr. and Mrs. Roush!

  • KNOT-TIED: Alissa + Casey // Grand Forks Wedding Photographer

    I absolutely LOVE fall weddings – especially when the trees are in full fall-mode! For Alissa + Casey’s wedding, I definitely didn’t expect that we would have red, orange and yellow leaves for their big day, but man, did we ever! I was so surprised at how “fall-ish” their wedding portraits looked! Their day fell on a cloudy and rainy September day – we used umbrellas, shelters, and stayed underneath awnings for part of the day – but luck would have it that 30 minutes before their ceremony, the rain stopped! These two, their families and their bridal party were troopers through all of it – everyone’s spirits were high and happy throughout the entire day. They were married at the gorgeous Myra Museum in Grand Forks and partied the night away at the gorgeous Hilton near UND! I loved Alissa’s beautiful dress and the simple pearls she wore – they are timeless! Alissa + Casey are the perfect fit for each other – they clearly adore and care for each other in such a good way. I enjoyed working with them and getting to know them better – they are some of the most caring and considerate individuals I’ve ever worked with. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Hancock – I’m so happy for you both!
