These two are one of those couples. Those couples? Those couples. The couple that is extremely giving, so relaxed, and you can’t help but leave smiling after being with them. So naturally, when they shared they wanted their portraits taken, I jumped at the opportunity! We finished our beautiful night of mini sessions with George and Phyllis, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. We laughed and chatted for most of the photography session, teasing one another and having a fabulous time.

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage! This is certainly the case for the amazing couple of Nathan and Cali! We just had the pleasure of hanging out with them for their mini portrait session after enjoying photographing their wedding day last November, and their engagement portraits two years ago! It’s so exciting getting to walk alongside an awesome couple like these two in all the special moments of life!

WARNING: Cuteness overload below! Seriously, not only did I have the chance to hang out with Kristina and Adam again this year for our mini sessions (Want to see their session from last year? We got you!) but also, Kristina’s grandparents came along to have their photos taken by us as well! We met up at Lake Rebecca Park in Hastings, Minnesota for their mini portraits and spent most of the time chatting while taking their photos.

Hey everyone! We’re excited to announce our second year of mini sessions! I know, you’re like it’s APRIL! But here us out, the holiday season will be here before you know it! Get your Christmas card photos done in the beautiful fall colors, capture those growing kiddos in the warmth of summer, or celebrate an anniversary with your sweetheart. In fact, why not book more than one? ;) This is perfect for major milestone moments, so join us as we capture some memories of your family, your children, or grab great sweetheart or even maternity images.

Wow, oh wow, oh wow. As I sit here and have a chance to look back at every wedding day, engagement session, family portraits, anniversary photos, mini sessions, maternity portraits, lifestyle sessions, newborn portraits, senior portraits, and more, all I can say is wow. 2018 was such a blessing.
