A Trio of Brides - ND Wedding Photographer

These three lovely brides ALL met their hubbies at the Empire in Fargo, North Dakota, and had the great idea of all three of them doing a rock the dress session in the downtown area! And what a BLAST it was! We were quite the showstoppers walking down Broadway, three brides and a photographer toting equipment! The girls even got stopped by some tourists for a photo op of their own! One comment was they thought they were the Dixie Chicks haha! We had such a blast, what a fun idea for friends to get together and rock their dresses together!! This could lead to a whole NEW craze- rock the bridesmaids dress?? ;) Thanks ladies- it was such a blast!

Rockin' the Dress with Katherine- ND Wedding Photographer

I made the LONG trip out to Rutland, ND, for this special down on the farm rock the dress session. What a beautiful setting with endless possibilities for photos. We took some on the bride's farm and then headed over to her in-laws and got up close and personal with some cows on their property :) The session went off without a hitch, except for that near "stampede" at the end and losing the cowboy hat to the other side of the barbed wire fence ;) Thanks so much Katherine for being a sport for the session- so much fun! Enjoy your sneak peek!

The L Family - MN Family Photographer

I met with this darling little family on a VERY chilly October morning. We tried to make the best of it and kept moving and active with the kiddos and they did great after a little warming up :) They had such great outfits picked out that went so well together, and LOVED little G's jacket!! So adorable! At the end we even let out the family dog for some quick shots- thank you so much L family for being sports with the cold photo shoot, enjoy your sneak peek :)

Rocking the Dress with Laurel - ND Wedding Photographer

I met up with this beautiful bride after her wedding in September for a fun rock the dress session. This is a fun, relaxed time to do bridal shots after the wedding and not be afraid to get that dress a little dirty ;) We didn't get TOO crazy, but had a lot of fun. Laurel is absolutely gorgeous, and so was her beautiful gown! I was so happy for this opportunity to photograph her again- thank you so much Laurel- enjoy your sneak peek!

Little Miss H - MN Baby Photographer

I can't believe this little one is 7 months old already! I SWEAR I just posted her 4 month photos! But here we were again- with more great "Sets" her mama came up with! It was another one of those SUPER warm days so we went for it with all outdoors photos! If you follow the blog, you may remember this little gal riding horse with her grandma in her last shoot, this time we put her with the saddle and horse gear for her own little horse photos :) Her daddy and family are also big hunters and Vikings fans so they also had super cute set ups for hunting and The Vikings! LOVE these creative ideas! Beautiful little girl- I suppose before I know it it will already be her 1 year photos- time flies!

Mr. B - MN Child Photographer

Another tiny peek for a patiently waiting mom :) I met up with Mr. B on his farm to get some photos of him. He had other things in mind, but we managed to work in a photo shoot amongst his playing. Big sister M was super helpful- what a sweet little family! It was so cute to see little B's face light up with Uncle Nate came in from the field- had to grab a shot of them walking together- just darling! Hope this little taste tides you over until the rest are ready for viewing- so many cute ones :) Enjoy and thank you!!
