I seriously love fall and love this family.  Aren’t they cute??

Look at these cuties.  They’re getting hitched next September so we did some engagement photos this fall…on the windiest day ever!  Congratulations, you two!  Can’t wait to celebrate with you next year!

Kael and Bryan welcomed Beckett Gregory just a little over a month ago and oh my, is he sweet!  I feel so fortunate that my camera allows me to be a present during some of life’s most exciting and precious times.  Thanks for reminding me yet again why I love doing this.  : )

Sugan is a senior at Mayo this year.  Oh yeah, and she’s awesome!  🙂 

Curly Girl has this card that says, “Good dogs are with us for a little while to teach us how to love like it’s our job…because it is.”  I love that and you KNOW how much I love dogs.  Both Sam and Puck are rescue dogs and they both are SO SWEET.  I LOVE photographing dogs and their humans.  And don’t worry, we made conversation for them in doggie voices the whole time…      

Vinny is a senior this year at John Marshall and because his family hasn’t had an updated family photo for awhile, we decided to do a joint family/senior session.  Things like these make moms happy.  🙂    

I currently am working on making a promo video and what I really mean by that is Dave is working on making me a promo video!  Anyway, for the video, I asked begged Amy + Matt if they would be models for me.  🙂  They were sweet and agreed to it.  Along with putting up with extreme heat, bugs, and tall itchy weeds.  TROOPERS.  Aren’t they cute?  Well, today is Amy’s birthday!  So HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Amy!  And thanks to the both of you!  🙂

And a few action shots:  🙂

Tora is another cute peanut that is growing up waaay too fast!  I met up with these guys when I was home in Watertown on a beautiful late summer evening.  Tora’s dress is from this new adorable shop there called Shoppe of the Corner and it’s probably a good thing I don’t live closer or I’d be there every day.  So cute! 

Our very first ARTWALK is tonight from 5-9pm!  We are very excited to have Brandon and Heather Sampson (the Dovetailers!) here from 6-7 for musical entertainment.  We’d love for you to stop by and say hi!

Dustin and Adrianne were married on a beautiful day in August at Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer in Watertown, SD.  It was such an honor to photograph their special day because I have known Dustin since we were little kids (yeah, Go Arrows!).  Their wedding day was the perfect combination of fantastic (and HOT) weather, a beautiful location, an awesome wedding party, and a love worth celebrating.  Congratulations, friends.  We loved spending the day with you and hope you have many, many married days as awesome as your wedding day!
