Engagement [Brady + Rachel]

Brady and Rachel woke up with the sun to get some gorgeous lighting for their portraits. Rachel had a few ideas as to how she wanted to do her photos and it was so fun to plan out and then to put it into action. I am loving all the winter engagement sessions for summer weddings!

Engagement [Jamie + Neil]

We had such a perfect UP winter evening for Jamie and Neils engagement pictures. I love connecting with couples before their weddings because it always make the wedding day that much more relaxed and fun!

Winter Engagement Session [Jay + Britney]

Britney has been a long time friend of mine. I was so bummed when I found out I wouldn't be able to attend hers and Jay's wedding. Luckily I was able to do an engagement session with them and share a little bit of this special time of their lives.

Winter Engagement [Tara + Reid]

Tara and Reid's engagement session shows that you can get a good variety of portraits in a short amount of time. We worked quick in the cold and still ended up with over 100 photos in less than an hour. You would never know these were taken so close to town in her sisters yard. Such a gorgeous spot!

Heidi + Brian [ Engaged ]

Heidi is my cousin and I was quite delighted when she asked me to take her engagement photos. I spent a summer at her house growing up working in the corn fields and my family camped with hers many summers at McLain State Park so I had a lot of fun with them and getting to know Brian a little more. Heidi and Brian are to be married this October in Minnesota. 

We started out at the boardwalk along the Pilgrim River as this is where he proposed. I love those trails.

So much love and happiness!!!

Then we headed over to Prince's Point. I had heard of this place many times but never knew how to get there or what it looked like. It was quite gorgeous and had wild flowers growing everywhere!!

Thank you Heidi and Brian for an enjoyable evening!

* On a side note I am still trying to figure out how to get my blog to display my photos correctly without them looking blurry and without them looking too sharp. Currently still struggling...
