MN Fall Maternity Portraits // Elk River's Woodland Trails Regional Park // Matt & Laura

The only thing better than hanging out with a couple on their wedding day is hanging out again after the wedding day to celebrate the coming of a little baby! This was definitely the case of Matt & Laura’s maternity photos at Woodland Trailhead Park in Elk River. We captured their wedding day photos last May at the Grands at Mulligans in Sartell, MN, so to come full circle and be capturing their maternity photos now was absolutely so much fun! Some other things that came full circle? Matt had given his groomsmen each individualized suphero cufflinks as a gift, and now we took a few photos of them with a superhero onesie to celebrate their little bambino!

Speaking of the baby, Matt & Laura are choosing to be surprised on the gender! Their due date is January 5th and Laura shared that if her dreams are right, baby will be a girl. Baby’s heartbeat is in the 150s and just like any other baby, we’ll find out more when baby arrives! One of the cool things we learned about Matt & Laura when they reached out about us being their wedding day photographers is that these two went to school together and now get to work together! How cool is that?! The only challenge this creates with adding a little one is the childcare aspect (every parent has been there, done that!) Isn’t it interesting that even with so many childcare centers around, there are still very-little-to-no openings.

Matt & Laura, SOO fun to catch up with you two! It feels like your wedding was just a few weeks ago instead of a year and a half ago! I love how you two continue to look at each other with such gentleness and love; and I pray that this continues even as you step into the zombie sleep stage of life with a newborn. Continue to prioritize your marriage – your time together, your communication, and your fun! It’s definitely going to be a lot different in the months to come, but keep in mind that quality time is always better than quantity! So enjoy the super cozy cuddles, the random naps, and specialness of each moment ahead!
