Sara & Joshua Engaged!

So much fun shooting engagement photos for my good friend Sara & her fiance Josh. What a beautiful couple!!

The Kerttula Family

Sunday was one of those Minnesota summer days to cherish. So fun taking photos of Libby in her quest to find flowers for her "Gamma". The balloons were something I hadn't tried before. They give such a fun pop of color to the photos.

Schaefer Family

I've been promising my sister a photo shoot with her family all summer and finally we made the time! I love this spot out at the Park Reserve in Carver! There was plenty of room for my nephew Ben to run like crazy. I wish I had his energy!!

Ballerina Kayde

So much fun capturing Kayde spinning and twirling in her adorable hot pink ballerina skirt!

Sunday afternoon with the Tetzlaff family

I was worried that Sunday's heat would put a damper on our photos, but little Lauren and adorable big brother Jackson were such troopers! I have been inspired lately by all the pretty wildflowers growing in some of the field areas of Carver and was thrilled when Jackson got the courage to go adventuring through them!

My little guy

I splurged on some new Photoshop actions (MCP Actions). They're so fun! This group of photos are edited with an action called "lemonade". I love the dreamy look it gives the photos. Colin has also stopped yelling "noo!" when I get out the camera. Yay for that! I was missing my little man's smiles in photos.

The Mantoles Family

I had the privilege of doing family photos for my good friend Anna and her family. 9 month old Andreas and his puppy buddy Louie are such a cute little pair.
