“We’re so awkward in front of the camera.” ⠀
⠀
Have you ever said that before? Chances are you have.
Well, let me tell you this: I emphatically disagree with you! You simply haven’t been given the guidance or the tools you need to feel comfortable. ⠀
⠀
That is NOT the case for my couples or portrait clients. When we work...sorry...when we PLAY together, we’ll show you want to do, where to put your hands, and then give you a little game/activity to do to take your mind off of the camera and put it your back where it belongs: on your partner!⠀
•⠀
Here’s a little behind the scenes shot of me showing my couple just how freaking cute they are and how they’re 100% nailing their engagement session. ⠀

A little sneak peek at our French-inspired styled shoot from today. My mouth is watering just thinking about those macaroons.

Why do I love working with high school seniors? ⠀
⠀
1) They’re bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and are excited for their next big adventure.⠀
⠀
2) They always have incredible taste in fashion and bring shoes I want to buy. ⠀
⠀
3) They think my jokes are funny...or they just think I’m weird. Either way they laugh and we have a good time. ⠀
⠀
4) They have so much to look forward to! We talk all about their passions and goals for the next few years during their session. The possibilities for what they want to do are endless and that’s so fun for me to encourage them to follow their dreams!⠀
•⠀
Class of 2020...it’s time to book your senior session! ⠀
⠀
DM me and answer this question: What are you most looking forward to in your senior year of high school?⠀

Sometimes all you need is the love of your life and a prime seat by the lake. ⠀
•⠀
I’ve been so privileged to live across the street from Lake Hiawatha and within walking distance to Minnehaha Parkway and Lake Nokomis for the past two years. We move in two weeks to our first (and hopefully last) home and I’m getting a little testy eyed knowing I won’t have the same access this prime shooting location. I know I know...it’s not really a big deal right? We can always drive and come back here. I guess the point I’m trying to make is this: appreciate the beauty you have in front of you while it’s there and try to not take it for granted. ⠀
•⠀
Huge thanks to these two for helping out at our LBP team day on Sunday. It ain’t easy having your portrait taken, especially when 5 other photographers are observing. You two NAILED IT! ⠀

Give me all the cuddles! Ok not me necessarily, but seriously, how cute and cozy are Halie and Addison? They were a dream to work with, always giggling, stealing kisses (as if I wouldn’t be able to catch them with my camera...bc I totally did #photogninjaskills), and basically being the cutest couple on earth. ⠀
•⠀
For portrait sessions, I always ask if there’s a special place of significance that the couple would like to take photos at. For H & A, St. Anthony Main was that spot. And to make it even MORE special, they’ll be getting married just around the corner this Fall at the @minneapoliseventcenters. If I know anything, I know that that wedding is gonna be one epic!! ⠀

Notes Dame...feeling mixed emotions of sadness, horror, and gratitude for being able to see it in person two years ago. A sad reminder to go out and see as many historical monuments when given the opportunity because you just never know. 😭🇫🇷

Had such a fun afternoon with the LBP team! So many laughs, so many silly faces, and a whole lot of excitement for the upcoming wedding season. Trust me when I say you’re gonna want to work with us!

So apparently 2nd week of April snowstorms are becoming a thing...either that or the HBO people are stepping up their Game of Thrones marketing. #winteriscoming #winterishere .

Please please let the forecast be wrong. I can’t handle more snow!

On a more fun note, bringing personalized items to your engagement sessions are always encouraged. Check out this cribbage board and custom playing cards these lovebirds brought to make their engagement session extra unique. .

It’s one of those, “want to stay in bed all day” kind of days. But that might be because I’m under the weather. ⠀

Want to look and feel this good? Book an in-home mini session with me (link in bio) and we’ll use it for a mini boudoir session. Nothing screams sexy more than an empowered, confident woman!⠀
