A couple weekends ago my nephew, Nate, surprised his girlfriend, Megan, with a proposal at Willow River State Park in Wisconsin.
Morgan and I positioned ourselves behind them and followed them to the proposal spot. Thankfully the falls were running pretty heavy so it was too loud for them to hear me. He sure picked a beautiful spot.
Congratulations Nate and Megan! Couldn’t be happier for the two of you!
I have had the pleasure of photographing this family for quite a few years. It has been really fun watching them grow.
This year we went to a studio rental in Stillwater, MN called The Hive House. What a fun and cute space. I can’t wait to use the space again and I can’t wait to photograph this family again.

I always love when animals are involved in photo sessions. My stress level does tend to go up a few notches especially when I hear the word cat. Don’t get me wrong, I love cats but they are the least cooperative when it comes to pet sessions. Thankfully Luey and Lila are pretty social and they are used to being outside on leashes. These 2 actually cooperated better than Nash, our canine friend.
Location was Silver Lake Park in North St Paul. This was a new location for me and it will be on my top list of favorite places for photo sessions especially in the Fall.
Yes, Nash does look sweet and innocent in his photos. Well he is very sweet just not sure about the innocent part. If I remember correctly, Nash had far more retakes than Luey and Lila especially during the family photos. The issue with him was his puppy energy. He didn’t like to sit still but once we got him to sit, he sat very well…for about 15 seconds.
Family session was a bit more challenging because we had to get 2 cats and a dog to all look at the camera at the same time. The cats actually did better than I had expected. I think being held helped a lot. Nash probably could of benefited from being held but we still managed to get a cute picture after a few retakes. Megan’s mom, Julie, was a great help. I couldn’t have gotten what I did with out her.
Final product and the only head I had to swap out was Nates.
This was an easy one for Nash. All he had to do was walk.
Sitting was a whole other story. We had to try multiple times
to get this
A few of my favorite ones of just the two of them

Check out this super cute couple. They are celebrating 8 years of marriage this year.
Their photo session was done last year at Vermillion Falls Park which is nestled in Hastings, MN. This beautiful park has a few unique features which is why I love going there. I didn’t realize until this photo shoot that they have an actual “falls” at this park. Hence the name Vermillion Falls.
There are 2 areas of this park that draw me to this park for photo shoots. The first one is the bridge with all the locks on it,
and the second one is the old ruins located on the other side of the park.
I will now have to add the falls as my third reason.

Congratulations to the Cadwell family! They added on baby #5 on Tuesday May 3rd, a beautiful baby boy which they have not named yet.
Photo session was at the Cottage Grove Ravine Park and we started with the family photos first.
Then we tried to do some of just the kids but Soraya wasn’t really getting into the picture groove. Those boys absolutely love their sister. It was cute seeing them comfort her when she started to cry. Melted my heart. Even though she was sad, the pictures are still adorable.
We let the kids play at the park while I took Casi to do some photos by herself and then we added in her hubby, Chad.
Mommy and Soraya special moment:
This park had a playground so we had to let the kids have fun after they did such a great job with the photo shoot.
