Brice + Jennifer's Wedding - Rochester, MN Wedding Photographer

We filmed this couple's engagement session and had a blast with them!!  Luckily some stormy clouds were headed our way because it forced us to reschedule and I think we got some better pictures because of it!!  We had been looking forward to this wedding for a long time.  Not only because we think these two are such great people, but because we have a lot of mutual friends so it made the day really fun.  I love how they wanted to keep the "first time seeing each other" completely private.  And they took their time too!!  I think this shows how special their relationship is and how much respect and love they have for each other.  Although I wish we could've captured those first looks, it's more important that they got what they wanted instead.  And they did :)  Their wedding was at Hope Summit Christian Church in Rochester, a really cute Church of Christ church that I know lots about because the other Church of Christ church in Rochester and this one went to the same camp!!  Again, a small world huh?  Then the reception took place at Willow Creek Golf Course.  I love this atmosphere because the deck overlooking the golf course is very accessible and a nice way to enjoy the fresh air during the reception. 

Ashley + Tim - Rochester, MN Wedding Photographer

We were Quarry Hill Nature Center-bound for this photo shoot. I love shooting there because it's so natural with the trees, hiking trails and bridges. Always a great place to take pictures. We loved our time with Ashley and Tim along with their cute (and well-behaved I might add) dog, Avery. My job is usually to call the dog's name to get her attention...haha!! Check out their creative "save the date" picture.

Ihde Family - Rochester, MN Family Photographer

Love this family!  We've known Denel for years through our other business, Southeast Minnesota Technology.  She is such a great and fun person!  We met her kids and they're just as fun as she is.  We all had a blast and got some great shots...what a photogenic family!!  Headed to the Plummer House for this photo shoot and it was a beautiful fall day.

Babies in the Studio - Rochester, MN Newborn Photographer

LOVE babies in the studio!  Even when they cry they're so cute!  Ask me if I still think that at 4am :).  We're hoping to continue to increase our prop supply to give lots of options for pictures so stay tuned!!

Jones Family - Rochester, MN Family Photographer

We had the privilege once again to take pictures of our dear friends, Nate and Suzanne's children at our studio. We love this family and love their little girls. What a difference a year or two makes in children. Age 1-2 is always a really hard age to film because they're running all over the place and they pretty much never smile when you ask them to. It's something we're learning constantly and are getting better (bribing helps alot!!) :) Anyway, so by age 3-4 they are all about the pictures and the posing. These two were quick and easy because they were so cooperative. Love it!

Berg Family - Rochester, MN Family Photographer

Ok, so we had a little connection with this family.  1st they have a little girl who is close to Emily's age and 2nd, they're Bears fans!!  How could we not love this family?!?  We took these shots in our studio and since it was so beautiful outside (you really never know in MN), we headed to the backyard for some pictures too. 

Baskett Family - Rochester, MN Family Photographer

This was such a fun session!  We fell in love with the little girl, she was so sweet and smiled so nicely plus had the best imagination.  Then the littlest boy was just ALL over the place.  It was really hard to get him to stand still at all.  We're really happy we got some cute shots of him...it wasn't easy...course it's not easy being 2 either :)
