Danielle and Cody's Engagement Party!

Recently I had the pleasure of throwing one of my coworkers and friends, Danielle, and her fiance Cody an engagement party! It was so much fun! The theme was black and white.. so naturally we set up our studio to take some photo booth shots (this is a popular trend at weddings right now). In addition we made a special "white" cocktail with a blackberry garnish and served food that also supported the theme. It was a blast. I wish the two of them much happiness in the future!

Kathleen & Doug Engaged!

Kathleen and Doug's shoot took place down at the Sonoita Wineries.. and it was so much fun!! The rolling hills make you feel like you are in a different state. The scenery is just beautiful and inspiring! It was fun to hop from one winery to the next to get a new look. Doug and Kathleen are such a great couple who are totally caught up in their love for one another. We are so excited to shoot their wedding in March!

The O'Connor Family- Allison & Emmily's One Year Photographs!

This has got to be one of my all time favorite families.. should I be saying that? Oh well, it's true! Craig and Renee are sweet, laid back, and easy going which makes for 2 very happy babies! Allison and Emmily were in our cutest baby contest back in May and we were thrilled to be able to shoot their one year pictures (11 month if you want to get technical). The shoot was a lot of fun. We started off in the studio and then headed out to a nearby park. I have to say, it's hard to only be posting 3 pictures.. but I guess it's called a sneak peek for a reason :).

Danielle & Matt Engaged!

Danielle and Matt were so fun to work with! We had a blast in rural Minnesota finding unique spots with lots of character. One of which was an old stone barn.. it was absolutely beautiful! And in the land of 10,000 lakes it only made sense to end our engagement session at Toqua lake in Graceville at sunset. We can't wait to shoot their wedding over Thanksgiving weekend! It will be here before we know it!
