Rachel and Matt: Engaged

They're Canadians eh! And they freeeeking rock my winter boots off.

One from Prince Edward Island the other from Vancouver... they were some how destined to meet in the middle of the country, Winnepeg. Rachel is a friend from the college and Studio One days who I secretly/not so secretly looked up to because she was sooo full of energy, spice, CONFIDENCE, and had the coolest high heels in town. When I finally met Matt I could instantly tell that he was the pea to her pod. I'm not even kidding these two have chemistry and just seeing the way Matt adores Rachel touches my heart and gives me a smile almost as big as hers.
After trying for months to schedule an engagement shoot with these two it finally happened in good ol' Grand Forks, ND. The roads were slick and it was freezing eh! It must've been their northern blood that let them brave the cold and run outside in tights and heels.

I wish I could fast forward to their wedding on P.E.I. this summer. It's going to be so amazing, full of looooooove, really hot, and I will most likely cry like a newborn baby.

Kelsey & Evans Debut!

Photos of this big sister and little brother have been FAR over due!  This last week I was so lucky to spend a few days with Kelsey and Evan, my niece and nephew, in Colorado!  Kelsey was just over a year old when I lived out in Boulder...seven years ago.  eeeeeek!  I can't believe she's now eight and Evan is no longer a chubby little baby but an incredibly smart and full of energy 5-year-old. ( In January)  Both of these two have voices of angels and I see a mini Taylor Swift and the next Michael Bublé in the making.  Well, we took a little stroll around the neighborhood right before school started...what a refreshing way to start the day.  :)

It's been special and wonderful to watch both of you grow up!  I miss you already.

Newest member of the family ---> Sugar!

Yes, he waterskis and drives a jeep.  ;)

Hometown Lovelies.

I was lucky enough to assist Mitch and Jena on a hometown wedding in Park Rapids this summer. I went to high school with both Celeste and Garret so of course their wedding was a complete blast!!! Not to mention that both of these guys are just awesome. I cry a bit at every wedding I shoot....but I seriously was tearin' up left and right on this day. This couple is honest, down to earth, inspiring, loving, and imaginative.  We got to shoot at some very fun locations and we ended up getting them into a potato field! ha. So fitting for PR isn't it?

Check out the rockin' Avid Creative Media. I loooove shooting with them.   :)

Forgot these two frames. They just struck me. :)

Lollipop.

She doesn't get one very often but when she does she gives it all her energy.

This is unconditional love. Pure happy. Two-year-old goodness. Completely Kaia.
