Sophia - Rochester, MN Children Photographer

After my husband and our photographer Cat took pictures of this little girl, they both kept going on and on about how sweet and cute she was. When I pulled up the pictures to edit them, I couldn't take the smile off my face. What a precious little girl she is! These were taken at our studio.

Haley + Tony - Chatfield, MN Engagement Photographer

Love these two.  We started the day at their gorgeous gorgeous home where we got to film them in their element.  After that we headed to downtown Chatfield to capture some more happy moments as a couple.  The great thing about these two?  They were willing to do anything we suggested...leading to some really fun pictures.  Did I mention it was quite chilly and windy too?  They were troopers!

Kristin + Ryan - Rochester, MN Engagement Photographer

SUCH a cute couple!  They couldn't stop smiling.  This couple was a breeze to work with.  They had so much fun together.  I'm really excited for their wedding and especially for their Trash the Dress session afterwards.  If you don't know what a a Trash the Dress session is, click here for a Wikipedia explanation.  I'm not going to give away what we're doing for the session, you'll have to stay tuned :).  Here are some shots from their session, filmed at the Plummer House in Rochester.

Brian + Blair's Wedding - Rochester, MN Wedding Photographer

Love this couple! They have so much love for each other and know each other so well. I loved the anticipation before she walked down the aisle. Blair is so concerned about others, before Nykkole was pushed down the aisle she told the usher "if she starts getting upset just sing to her" Do you know any other bride that would say this before walking down the aisle at her own wedding? Brian got choked up when he saw her and I don't blame him...she was stunning! While we were taking pictures outside after the wedding, they were troopers! It was freezing and windy. I'll never forget while we were running around trying to get some great shots, a passerby said "only in Minnesota" haha, so true!!

Studio - Rochester, MN Children Photographer

We really do enjoy the studio. Our goal is to keep on accumulating props and working on expanding our studio business. We want to create a place that's comfortable for our guests as well as offer an array of props for them to use for their children/family. This will take some time but I'm confident we will slowly get there. Here are a few pictures from one of our latest sessions with a 6 month old.

Keegan Family - Rochester, MN Family Photographer

We love this family! I think we're making this a yearly event, taking photos of this beautiful family. This is one of the great joys of being a photographer, you get to see these kids grow up and see how they change every year. One of our favorite things to do is go to a family's home and take pictures of them just doing what they normally do. This is also the reason we chose "Lifeshots" for the name of our company.

Paige + Scott's Wedding - Tuscola, IL Wedding Photographer

We always love going to Illinois to do weddings because we can also visit family. Perfect! Paige and Scott were actually married before he went off to serve our country. But now they wanted an opportunity to celebrate it with friends and family at First Christian Church in Tuscola. It was lovely and beautiful. We always love a bride who is so willing to spend time on the pictures. The reception was held at Ironhorse Golf Club which is where our wedding reception was so it was fun to go back.
