This summer has kicked off with a great start!  I recently had the pleasure of shooting a wonderful couple whose wedding I’ll be shooting this fall.  Amy and Matt are as cool as they come and I had a great afternoon hanging out with them at Minnehaha Falls.  Here are some of my favorites from the evening:

Amy & Matt – Thanks for letting me “tag along” on the fun afternoon.  You two are great!  I can’t wait for the wedding in October!

It’s been way too long since I last posted, so I’m going to make up for it with THE cutest little guy in the world.

I had an opportunity to take some pictures of Emmett’s older sister, Elisa, about a year and a half ago.  And I was very excited when I was asked to take some pictures of her little brother Emmett at 6 months old.

This could not have been an easier photo session.  Emmett was full of fun and was non-stop smiles the entire day…





Emmett loved being snuggled into the basket.  I felt so bad taking him out.  Until we found the bucket….


 

 

 
A little sister-brother love…













“Best buds….just hanging out….”

Ben and Melody are two of our closest friends. So, for their anniversary, I wanted to take some pictures of them and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Spliff. I was lucky enough, as any photographer would tell you, that they were willing to get up at sunrise to take the pictures. We set out to a couple of their favorite spots and the lighting was perfect!

  

As you can see, Spliff was definitely not shy around the camera…



In fact, I had the opportunity to take a few pictures of him when he was only a few months old.  What a cutie!



For a dog that was born to work and love… we did it all that morning.  There was even time for a quick game of “Who wants a treat?”



After some much needed play time, we took a break for some more pictures.

 



 
A picture perfect family.



Happy Anniversary, Ben and Mel!  Here’s to many more years of a happy marriage to many more as great friends.

Mike and Kristin are good friends of mine, and I was so happy to hear that they were going to have a little girl.  I was even more thrilled when they asked me to come over and take pictures of little 2-week old, Hudson.

 

Hudson was an angel to photograph. 





she’s already trying out her “daddy eyes”.  






…the happy new family!
