Emily's Newborn Session - Rochester, MN Newborn Photographer

I'll tell ya, doing a session with your own child is definitely harder than with someone else's for some reason. We did two sessions for Emily at our studio, the first one she started crying quite a bit so we decided to come back a few week later to take some more shots. Well...a few weeks with a baby can sometimes turn into a month or more. So finally we got into the studio and took some more shots.

Jay + Jennifer's Wedding - Tuscola, IL Wedding Photographer




We were blessed to be able to be a part of Jay and Jennifer's big day. Not just as family but as their photographers too. Jay is Scott's younger brother. And of course now that they're married, Jennifer and I have the same name :) It's great having a sister-in-law now!! The wedding was beautiful and we got lots of great shots. Something funny happened actually. They were supposed to be married in Scott's mom's backyard but it was too wet back there so they moved it to the church. Well, that church is in a different county, which means their marriage certificate was in a different county. So their vows were not valid. Luckily the minister realized this and had to pronounce them husband and wife again at the reception. It was something they'll never forget!!

Just a few blocks away - Rochester, MN Wedding Photographer

Teresa and Lee met each other on the Internet. They chatted for weeks and ultimately discovered they lived only 6 blocks from one another :). They were an incredibly cute couple to photograph and a lot of fun. Here are a couple shots from their big day.

This was a fun one to edit. Would you believe that nearly half the building behind them is fake?





I had so much fun making this one! The bride was sure that a tornado would hit her wedding...so I made it do so digitally.

Computer Danamics

Yesterday morning we took pictures of a fantastic team of people who work for Computer Danamics in Chatfield, MN.  They are a service organization providing a full range of Information Technology support services to the business, education and private user communities.  They were all so pleasant and easy to work with!!

Smile! No...really - Rochester, MN Studio and Family Photographer


So maybe we're a bit biased but this might be one of the cutest sessions we've done. We spent some time with Abby and Ryan in our studio a few weeks ago and captured their smiles....their REAL smiles :) Don't you just love the fake smiles that kids give when you ask them to smile? Well it just took Elmo eating Uncle Scott's head to get them to give us something a little more genuine.

Julie + Bob

Julie and Bob are adorable!  We met at the Plummer House to get some engagement photos for them.  They are so cute, it's almost as if you just introduced them and they can't stop flirting.  You can tell that he makes her smile and laugh...in fact we had a hard time getting some more serious shots from them.  Which proves that we'll just focus on getting fun and smiling shots instead!  We love it, we can't help but smile when we edit and look at these pictures.  So much fun!  You can tell they especially had a ball towards the end when they showed their true (and opposite) colors :)

Courtney + Isaac

On a cold and very windy Saturday morning we drove to Quarry Hill to meet Courtney and Isaac for an engagement session.  Because it was so frigid we decided it would be better to take some shots in our studio and reschedule our outdoor session.  The studio was a lot of fun with them.  They were so easy to photograph, she has such a genuine smile!  For our outdoor session about a week later we headed back to Quarry Hill and enjoyed the hour together.  Her mom even brought her little boy for a few pictures with him too.  His little nose got red because it was still a little chilly outside.  They're getting married on July 4th :)
